The role
You’ll be our first sales hire. That means you won’t use an existing playbook — you’ll be writing it. In your first year, you’ll own the full cycle: prospecting US SaaS and enterprise accounts, running discovery and demos, negotiating, and closing. You’ll work directly with the founder to shape pricing and outbound strategy, and your wins will directly shape how we build the sales team after you.
This role is remote and based in Egypt. You’ll be selling to US and EU customers, so you’ll need to be comfortable taking calls in US time zones (at least partial overlap) and writing and speaking English at a near-native level.
What you’ll do
Own the full sales cycle from first touch to closed deal
Build and run outbound campaigns to US SaaS and enterprise accounts
Qualify inbound leads and turn them into customers
Run discovery calls, product demos, and pricing negotiations
Work with the founder to refine ICP, messaging, and pricing based on what you learn in the market
Lay the foundation — process, tooling, and playbook — for the sales team we’ll build after you
What we’re looking for
3+ years selling SaaS, with real experience selling into US companies
A track record of hitting or beating quota (we’ll ask for specifics)
Comfort across the full cycle: prospecting, discovery, demos, negotiation, and closing
Excellent written and spoken English
Self-directed — you’re energized by ambiguity and don’t need a manager standing over you
Bonus: experience selling developer tools, infrastructure, or DevOps products
What we offer
Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission
Fully remote, with flexible hours around your US customer calls
Small team, direct access to the founder, real ownership over how sales gets built here
A profitable company — no runway anxiety, no investor pressure, just building something customers love
