About Rainforest
Rainforest QA is a distributed company full of smart, capable people from around the world who enjoy working together to make our customers successful.
Our mission is to make it painless for every software team to measure and improve product quality. We’ve built our no-code test automation platform for developers and product managers who want to catch more bugs without slowing down the release process. Unlike most test automation, the platform requires zero code to write, run, and maintain end-to-end tests.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Account Executive to join our Tribe! This AE will join our Founding AE to run a sales cycle for technical buyers looking for a more cohesive solution to their QA challenges including expert consultation, project management, exclusive test services and customization. In collaboration with our CEO/founder and General Manager, our small-but-mighty sales team of two will be responsible for building a scaleable motion to meet our aggressive sales targets.
Our product is incredibly powerful, nuanced and complex; the AE must be able to truly understand the customer’s pain points with their current software development lifecycle, and sell them on doing QA a better way with The Rainforest Method on the Rainforest platform.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record of building a successful sales process and pipeline at an early-stage startup, experience selling to technical personas, and familiarity with the Software Development Lifycycle (SDLC). We have aggressive sales targets, and we’re looking for someone who is motivated by a challenge and will do what it takes to be successful.

About You

  • 3+ years closing experience with a $1M annual quota and an average ACV of $30-100k
  • Experience selling a robust SaaS product in an early-stage startup environment
  • Experience with proactively identifying, pursuing and engaging prospects to influence their purchase decision
  • Knowledge of business processes and how prospects make software buying decisions
  • Experience navigating procurement processes including security review
