About Us

We’re ClosedWon Talent, a sales & go-to-market recruiting agency that specializes in working with fast-growing startups. If you're exploring your next move, we might have just the opportunity for you...including this one!

About The Company

We're helping a Seed-stage developer productivity startup hire their first two Founding Account Executives in San Francisco.

They’re building a platform for engineering leaders that goes beyond dashboards and vanity metrics. It analyzes real workflow data across the development stack and surfaces clear, actionable guidance on how teams can ship faster, reduce friction, and improve outcomes. This is sold as expertise and insight, not just another tool.

The Role

• Title: Founding Account Executive
• Report to: Founder
• Location: Hybrid in SF
• Comp: $100K–$150K salary, $200-300k OTE, plus equity

You’ll own full-cycle new business:

• Generate your own pipeline
• Work inbound leads
• Run discovery with engineering leaders
• Close mid-market and enterprise deals
• Help define how sales gets done

ACV ranges:

• $15K–$40K typical mid-market
• $50K+ enterprise entry point (with expansion upside later)

You’ll get a mix of faster-moving cycles and more strategic, multi-stakeholder deals.

Who They’re Looking For

Must-haves:

• Proven ability to generate pipeline in a scrappy environment
• Comfortable selling to technical buyers, especially engineering leaders
• Operates well with low process and high ambiguity
• High ownership mentality. Willing to do the unglamorous work

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience selling into engineering orgs or dev-adjacent tools
• Some technical or analytical exposure
• Evidence of fast progression or internal promotion
• Creative GTM experience: events, conferences, network selling, scrappy outbound motions

Role: Technical Founder’s Associate / Engineering Chief of Staff

Location: Sunnyvale, CA (Mostly remote but opportunity to work F2F with CTO)

Compensation: Academic Co-op (UC Berkeley/Stanford) OR Base + Potential startup Equity

The Reality: At Juice, we are making every second count. The platform authenticates vehicles at the edge using existing site cameras. Zero new hardware, instant M2M payments. As a lean, VC-backed team of three, Juice is already processing millions of transactions globally. The CTO (ex-Google, Microsoft, 2x IoT exits) is building the deep-tech architecture connecting today's $5 Trillion mobility market to tomorrow’s $13 Trillion autonomous economy.

Because the company is scaling at an unreasonable velocity, the CTO needs a high-leverage technical force multiplier. We are not looking for a standard software engineer who wants to be spoon-fed Jira tickets. Juice is looking for an absolute powerhouse to step into the role of Technical Founder’s Associate.

In Silicon Valley, this is the engineering equivalent of a Chief of Staff. You will operate as the CTO’s technical proxy and right hand. You are a technical Swiss Army knife—you have the hardcore computer science chops to ship production code, but you also possess the systems-thinking required to map out massive enterprise integrations, read dense API documentation from legacy vendors, and ruthlessly unblock the core engineering pipeline.

If you want a traditional FAANG internship where you spend three months changing a button color, close this page. If you want a masterclass in edge computing, computer vision, and building massive technical moats from the ground up alongside a 2x-exited founder—read on.

What you will execute:

• Force-Multiply the CTO: Take high-level, ambiguous architectural directives from the CTO, break them down using strict first principles, and build the initial prototypes and integration frameworks before they hit the core engineering pipeline.
• Wrangle Legacy Infrastructure: The mobility industry runs on messy, legacy hardware APIs (parking barriers, 15-year-old EV chargers, wash systems). You will elegantly integrate bleeding-edge AI with decades-old tech infrastructure, forcing them into the 21st century.
• Technical Operations: Evaluate hardware vendors, build internal God-mode telemetry dashboards to track the latency of thousands of edge cameras, and act as the technical translator in tier-1 partnership meetings.
• Ship Real Code: Push code to active US sites processing real financial transactions. There is no massive QA team to catch mistakes. You build it, you ship it, you own it.
