Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role

  • Enterprises are pouring money into AI and most of it dies in production because the AI does not understand the business context around the data.
  • What Makes You a Match - You've carried a bag with a genuine AE track record.

Company info

  • Atlan is building the context layer for enterprise AI. Enterprises are pouring money into AI and most of it dies in production because the AI does not understand the business context around the data. That is the problem Atlan solves.
  • Gartner has named context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and calls context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents, naming Atlan one of three vendors already building it. We are also the only vendor named a Leader across all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the foundation the context layer runs on.
  • Come build the infrastructure that AI runs on.
  • What You'll Own
  • Atlan is building the context layer for enterprise AI.
  • That is the problem Atlan solves.
  • Gartner has named context the defining issue in enterprise AI, and calls context graphs the essential infrastructure for AI agents, naming Atlan one of three vendors already building it.
  • We are also the only vendor named a Leader across all four major Gartner and Forrester evaluations for data catalogs, data governance and metadata management, the foundation the context layer runs on.
  • Run full-cycle, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles with sophisticated data and AI leaders (CDO, SVP of Data, CIO) at large accounts, backed by a base of roughly 400 enterprise customers.
  • Self-generate pipeline in your own Bay Area territory. You own account strategy and deal orchestration end to end with BDR, Sales Engineer and Partner support.
  • Build direct relationships with partner field teams (Snowflake, Databricks, and other ISVs/SIs). Atlan is partner-led but almost always closes direct contracts, so these are relationships you build yourself, not leads you passively receive.
  • Sell across three connected layers: the established metadata and governance foundation, AI-ready data and governed workflows, and the newer strategic motion (Context Layer, Context Lakehouse, context agents, and Agent Registry).
  • Help build the motion itself. Messaging, target-account strategy, executive relationships, and qualification discipline are all still being established here; you'll help codify at least one repeatable play the wider team can inherit.
  • Be a visible, embedded presence in the Bay Area technical and CIO/founder ecosystem: meetups and founder circles, not just meeting to meeting.
  • What Makes You a Match
  • You've carried a bag with a genuine AE track record. You're comfortable with technical nuance and can go deep with a CDO or CIO audience, whether that credibility comes from a Sales Engineer/technical background, a technical degree, or years of selling infrastructure-level products.
  • You've successfully sold different technologies or into different buyer types across your career, whether that background is in enterprise application software, AI-native products, or infrastructure.
  • You operate with high agency: you take action without being told, build your own messaging when there isn't a playbook yet, and aren't intimidated by gaps in your own knowledge.
  • You're genuinely using and upskilling in AI day to day: real personal curiosity, not performed fluency.
  • How you talk about past deals matters: we're listening for whether you solved a real business outcome for the customer, not whether you sold a point solution or feature.
  • You've built something from scratch before, whether that's a new territory, a new segment, or a new motion at a prior company. It shows you don't need an existing playbook to succeed.
  • Experience selling a genuinely technical, infrastructure-level product to sophisticated enterprise buyers.
  • Atlan is committed to transparent, fair and equitable compensation practices.
  • Local Pay Range: $330,000-$360,000 OTE USD
  • Actual compensation is based on factors including but not limited to job-related skills, depth of experience, and relevant certifications and specialized training.
  • Joining Atlan means being part of a global movement to help data teams do their life's best work.
