Account Executive (K8s ecosystem)
Replicated is a Commercial Software Distribution Platform. Replicated helps software vendors distribute their applications into self-hosted environments like VPC, on-prem, air gap, and more. With a suite of tools ranging from installation, to testing, to licensing and support, Replicated is the best way to operationalize and scale the distribution of Kubernetes applications into any enterprise environment.
Our customers include KNIME, Puppet, Smartbear, BigID, Swimlane, and many other fast-growing enterprise software vendors.
Replicated is committed to cultivating an efficient, respectful workplace. We know that innovation thrives on teams where diverse points of view come together to solve hard problems in ways that are just now possible. As such, we explicitly seek people that bring diverse life experiences, diverse educational backgrounds, diverse cultures, and diverse work experiences.
We are fully remote and plan to stay that way! We're open to any state in the US. In addition, for some roles, we're open to candidates in Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
Replicated is growing our sales team! We are looking for a talented, technical Account Executive who has a proven track record of success selling to software development and product teams. Replicated “cooks for chefs” – our customers are highly technical, and sellers who know how to talk through a variety of technologies with a focus on business impact will do well here.

With support from multiple parts of the Company you will be responsible for both bringing customers onto the platform and managing existing customer accounts. Working with a Solutions Engineer partner, you’ll be central in fostering a customer-centric culture that drives growth for the organization.
Sellers get paid for both new business acquisition and organic growth (to capture land/expand opportunities).
