Enterprise Account Executive, EMEA [IC4 - IC5]

Who we are

----------

Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code, not just ~0.1% of the population.

Everything is changing in how software gets built, and Sourcegraph builds tools that make it easier at scale. Code Search helps devs explore and understand massive codebases. Amp, our agentic coding tool, dramatically accelerates the time it takes to write new code and tackle complex problems like migrating and transforming code.

We’re trusted by engineering teams at leading companies like Stripe, Uber, and Palo Alto Networks, and with $225M in funding from investors like a16z, Sequoia, and Redpoint, we are building the tools that will define the next era of enterprise software development. We’re a globally distributed team with a culture of high agency, direct communication, and deep love for developers.

If you want to work at the bleeding edge of software and do the most meaningful work of your career, join us.

Why this job is exciting

------------------------

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you won’t just sell software—you’ll drive a new way of working for developers. You’ll partner closely with product-led users to guide them from self-serve adoption to enterprise-wide rollouts. This role blends technical depth, strategic selling, and product passion—perfect for someone who thrives in fast-evolving environments and is ready to define what a modern AE looks like in a PLG motion.

Here's what we're thinking:

📅 Within one month, you will…

• Ramp quickly on Amp and understand the agentic AI coding space and our product differentiators.
• Begin 1:1s with your manager, align on your 30-60-90 plan, and shadow discovery and closing calls.
• Analyze the PLG funnel to identify PQLs and start pipeline generation.
• Meet with CSMs, Customer Engineers, and Product to align on shared customer goals.

📅 Within three months, you will…

• Own a full territory plan focused on outbound and upsell from self-serve users.
• Demonstrate Amp with confidence and fluency, tailoring use cases to real dev workflows.
• Build trusted relationships with developers, engineering leaders, and execs.

Identify and nurture champions, multi-thread with economic buyers, and start to close strategic opportunities.

📅 Within six months, you will…

• Be running a full-cycle enterprise sales motion from PQL → multi-year contract.
• Actively contribute product feedback to the team and influence our roadmap with insights from the field.
• Collaborate deeply with CSMs to ensure accounts drive consumption and see value.

📅 Within one year, you will…

• Be a top-performing AE, exceeding pipeline, consumption, and revenue goals.
• Lead enablement for future AEs, helping set the playbook for selling in a PLG + AI-driven environment.
• Be seen as a thought partner to product and execs as we scale Amp’s enterprise go-to-market motion.

About you

----------

You're a modern seller with a rare combination of entrepreneurial drive, technical curiosity, and executive presence. You are excited about the future of AI in software development and want to be part of building that future. You thrive in ambiguity, adapt quickly, and are motivated by ownership, results, and impact.

Your skill-set:

• 2–5 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in a PLG environment
• Proven success selling to developers, engineering managers, and VPs of Engineering
• Comfortable navigating a hybrid motion (product-led + top-down enterprise)
• Excellent storytelling and discovery skills; you know how to build trust and uncover pain
• A strong understanding of developer tools, DevOps workflows, and AI trends
• Proficient in using product analytics (e.g., Looker) to prioritize and forecast pipeline
• Demonstrated success leading complex, multi-stakeholder deals
• Confident and curious—you learn the product, demo it well, and aren’t afraid to go off-script
• High agency: you build rather than wait, take ownership of your business, and thrive in a fast-moving, competitive space

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience at developer-first companies like Figma, Datadog, Slack, Linear, or Vercel
• Sold a consumption-based or usage-based product
• Technical background or deep curiosity about agentic AI and coding workflows
