WHY JOIN

Life on the crew

A small operation with a clear model: vetted specialists, booked by the week. Here's what that means for the people who run it.

Remote by design

The crew works where they work best, and so will you. This role is fully remote, we accept international applications, and where you live is not a filter.

Commission-based upside

Pay is a share of every mission you book. Your earnings track the revenue you create rather than the hours you log — the more missions you launch, the more you make.

A product that demos itself

You're selling vetted crews across 11 specialties that can typically join a mission within 48 hours. When the product is this concrete, selling feels like solving.

HOW WE HIRE

Four steps to the launchpad

No labyrinth, no ghosting. Apply, talk to us twice, and launch.

STEP 01

Apply

Send the form below with your resume. It lands straight in the careers inbox and gets read by a person, not a keyword filter.

STEP 02

Intro call

A short video call: your background, how the crew model works, and what the commission structure looks like in practice.

STEP 03

Deep dive

Walk us through a sale you ran or a product you know cold. We're listening for how you scope, explain, and close.

STEP 04

Launch

Agree terms, meet the crew leads, and pick up your first mission brief. You're selling real crews from week one.

Sales Engineer

REMOTEINTERNATIONAL OKCOMMISSION-BASED
Jump to the form ↓

The Sales Engineer is the crew's first voice. Founders and CTOs arrive needing to ship; you figure out what crew gets them there, shape it into a plan they believe in, and turn it into a booked mission. It's equal parts technical fluency and human clarity — which is why great candidates come from software sales, product, engineering, or communication backgrounds alike.

What you'll do

  • Own conversations with founders and engineering leaders, from first hello to booked crew.
  • Scope missions: turn a roadmap into roles, weeks, and a plan the client signs off on — right-sized, never padded.
  • Demo the platform and the week planner, and field technical questions with credibility.
  • Work with crew leads so week one lands exactly the way you sold it.
  • Stay with your accounts: monthly check-ins, and act as the client's advocate inside the company when something isn't serving them.
  • Recruit vetted engineering agencies onto the platform — you earn on the supply side too.
  • Feed what you hear back into the product and the pitch.

What we're looking for

  • A strong background in software sales, product management, engineering, or business communication.
  • You can hold a real technical conversation about how software gets built and shipped.
  • Clear, warm writing and speaking — most of this job is communication.
  • Comfort with a commission-based structure where your results set your pay.
  • Self-directed: you'll run your own pipeline without anyone hovering.
COMPENSATION

Commission-based and recurring: you earn a share of every invoice your clients pay for as long as they're clients, plus a share of the revenue generated by agencies you recruit — a book that only stacks. The full structure is below; exact rates are part of your offer, and [email protected] answers anything first.

LOCATION

Remote. We accept applications from anywhere in the world — if you can run great client conversations, the geography is your call.

THE PAY

Commission that recurs — and only stacks

No salary theater, no mystery quota math. Here is the actual structure, the same way we'd explain it in the intro call.

CLIENT BOOK

Companies you bring in

Every company that registers through your personal referral link joins your book, permanently attributed to you. You earn a percentage of every invoice they pay — every seat, every week, for as long as they're a client. Not a one-time bounty on the signature: a share of the relationship.

VENDOR BOOK

Agencies you recruit

You grow the supply side too. Recruit a vetted engineering agency onto the platform and you earn a percentage of the revenue their people generate — on every placement they staff, for every client they serve, including clients you never touched. Two books, and both can earn from the same week of work.

WHY "STACKS" IS THE WHOLE PITCH

Commission here is recurring: an account pays your book every month it keeps trading, so nothing you closed last year stops counting this year. Your book only moves one way — each new client and each new agency adds a stream, and month eighteen's income is your whole book working at once, not whatever you happened to close in month eighteen. An illustration with deliberately round, made-up numbers (real rates are part of your offer): land one client billing $8k a month and your book pays you something every month thereafter; by the time you've built to five clients and two agencies, one ordinary month pays you on all seven at once — and the month after that starts from there, not from zero.

Two honest mechanics to know before you apply: commission accrues on collected cash only — it counts when the client's invoice is actually paid, never on signatures or promises — and it settles as a monthly statement through payroll, itemized to the invoice line. If a client is refunded, the matching slice of commission reverses. You'll see every number, to the cent, in your own portal.

Check in on a rhythm

Every account gets a real conversation two weeks after its first crew starts, then monthly. The structure pays maintenance, so maintenance is the job — not an afterthought once the deal closes.

Be the client's advocate

You're the one person here whose income depends on a client still being happy next year. When something isn't serving them, you raise it on their behalf — inside the company, loudly if needed.

Right-size relentlessly

Recommend what they need, including when that's less than they asked for. Shrinking a client's plan when smaller is true is a promotion-worthy move here, not a lost sale.

THE RULE THAT MAKES IT WORK

We do not oversell — and neither will you

Our purpose is to give clients what they need, not more. Our most-read guide says it in public: it lists the cases where our own model breaks and tells companies to hire full-time when that's the honest answer — while selling the alternative. As a Sales Engineer you're expected to say the same thing to clients, out loud: your job is to right-size their crew, and you're personally accountable — you would genuinely be in trouble here — for selling anyone more than they need. Candor like that reads as strange in this industry, which is exactly why it wins trust, and trust is what keeps an account on your book for years.

That's the coherence of the whole structure: recurring commission makes the long-lived client worth more than the oversized deal, so the honest recommendation and the profitable one are the same recommendation. We built the pay model so you never have to choose.

FAQ

Questions candidates ask

The short version of everything above — and what happens after you hit submit.

Is this role really remote?

Yes — fully remote. We accept applications from anywhere in the world, and where you live is not a filter. You'll work with clients and crew distributed across time zones.

How does commission-based pay work?

It's recurring, on two books: a share of every invoice your clients pay for as long as they're clients, plus a share of the revenue generated by agencies you recruit onto the platform. It accrues on collected cash and settles as an itemized monthly statement — the full structure is spelled out in the commission section above; exact rates are part of your offer.

What stops me from overselling to earn more?

The company, explicitly — giving clients what they need and not more is a stated rule here, you're expected to say so to clients, and overselling is treated as a conduct issue. The pay model backs it up: because commission recurs, a right-sized client who stays for years is worth far more than an oversized deal that churns. Honesty and income point the same direction by design.

What background do I need?

A strong background in software sales, product management, engineering, or business communication. You don't need to have carried a quota before — you need to understand how software gets built and be excellent with people.

What happens after I apply?

Your application and resume land directly in the careers inbox and get read by a person. If there's a fit, we set up a short intro call to talk about you, the model, and the commission structure.
