Prefect is a platform that provides modern workflow orchestration for data and machine learning engineers. It allows users to easily and efficiently orchestrate any Python workflow using dynamic, right-sized infrastructure. Prefect focuses on orchestration and observability of code, providing features like scheduling, automatic retries, visibility into workflows, and the ability to configure execution environments. The platform supports pure Python code, allowing the flexibility to write code without boilerplate or strict Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), and aims to offer prompt recovery from failures with custom retry behaviors and caching. It offers both cloud and open source solutions, assisting developers in building and deploying data pipelines with ease and full visibility.

📋 Description

• Own the full sales cycle for new logos—from prospecting and qualifying through discovery, evaluation, negotiation, and close. • Generate pipeline by blending inbound signals (OSS adoption, PQLs, self-serve Cloud users) with creative outbound; use Prefect’s brand awareness and market momentum to create new lead generation playbooks and channels; maintain ≥3× pipeline coverage quarter over quarter. • Run technical evaluations with Sales Engineers, setting success criteria, designing evaluation plans, and ensuring clear roles and responsibilities in every deal. • Deliver crisp handoffs to Solutions Engineers and CSMs after close, sharing goals, architecture notes, and risks to set customers up for adoption, renewals, and expansion. • Operate with rigor: maintain stage exit criteria, deliver accurate forecasts, keep CRM notes clean, and run disciplined close plans. • Share market insights with Product and Sales leadership to inform roadmap and GTM; contribute repeatable positioning, talk tracks, and case studies.

🎯 Requirements

• 2–10+ years in full-cycle AE roles at developer-tool, data-infra, or OSS companies with consistent 100%+ attainment and net-new logo wins • Proven success closing $50k–$250k ACV deals, including designing/running technical evaluations, org mapping, and multi-threading in account. • Comfortable partnering with Sales Engineers pre-sale and handing off to Solutions Engineers + CSMs post-sale in a triad model. • Strength in product-led sales environments: converting PQLs, OSS adopters, and self-serve users into paying customers and early expansions. • High EQ and strong collaboration skills: able to navigate technical and executive audiences, build trust quickly, and write clearly. • Startup-ready: thrives in a “low O₂” environment with light process, high ambiguity, and a builder’s mindset.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first team with flexible-first culture • Equity Stock Options • 401(k) with 5% company match (vests immediately!) • Unlimited PTO • Medical, Dental and Vision insurance • Generous Parental Leave • Life Insurance and Disability benefits • $800 remote work stipend for whatever you need to work (food, wellness, equipment etc.)
