The role, at a glance.

The role leads complex, multi-quarter technical sales cycles for Vision AI and computer-vision products, from pilot programs through production-scale deployment.

Sample interview questions
I would outline the customer problem, stakeholder map, technical validation plan, commercial process, and measurable outcome. I would emphasize how I created alignment across technical champions, executives, procurement, security, and legal while maintaining momentum through a long sales cycle.
I would begin with the customer's production goals, current adoption, and business metrics, then map adjacent teams, workflows, and use cases that could benefit from computer vision. I would build a joint account plan with customer champions, prioritize use cases by value and feasibility, and establish success metrics for each expansion.
For engineers, I focus on architecture, integration effort, reliability, model performance, and operational workflows. For executives, I translate those capabilities into outcomes such as faster deployment, lower operational risk, cost savings, revenue impact, and strategic differentiation.
I form a clear hypothesis about the ideal customer profile, critical pain points, stakeholders, and buying process, then test it through customer conversations and opportunity reviews. I document patterns, adapt messaging and account plans quickly, and share learnings with product and go-to-market partners to improve the operating model.
I would identify the precise blockers, owners, required artifacts, and decision timeline rather than treating the process as a single obstacle. I would coordinate a mutual action plan with the customer, bring in the appropriate internal security and legal experts, maintain executive sponsorship, and connect resolution steps to the customer's target business outcome and implementation date.
About this role.
We’re hiring a Strategic Account Executive to own a small number of our most important customers and start relationships with a few new prospective customers.
This is a high-leverage, high-context role closing company-defining deals, not a volume sales position. You’ll partner with companies who are building real products on top of Roboflow and doing amazing things with Vision AI. You’ll understand their technical and business goals, help shape their Vision AI strategy, and drive meaningful expansion across teams, use cases, and production environments.
You are not just closing deals, you are helping customers accelerate Vision AI into production at scale.
Who We Are
Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.
We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more.
Roboflow is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.
Roboflowers are passionate builders who value ownership, accountability, and a bias toward action. We’re curious, hands-on with new tech, and prefer showing our work over talking about it. Many of us have a founder mindset and thrive in our high-autonomy environment.
What You’ll Do
Own and grow a small set of high-impact, strategic accounts
Build deep, multi-threaded relationships across engineering, product, and executive stakeholders
Identify and drive new use cases from initial pilots to full production rollouts
Lead complex, technical sales cycles (often multi-quarter, multi-stakeholder)
Partner closely with Field Engineering and Product to shape solutions and unblock deals
Develop and execute account plans that drive long-term expansion (not just one-off transactions)
Navigate procurement, security, and legal processes with large enterprises
Act as the voice of the customer – influencing product direction and our GTM strategy
Help define how we sell to strategic customers, not just execute a playbook
What We’re Looking For
7 – 10+ years of experience in SaaS sales, with a focus on strategic accounts
Proven track record of closing and expanding large, complex deals (7+ figure ACV)
Experience selling technical products (developer tools, AI/ML, data infrastructure, APIs, etc.)
Comfortable engaging with both engineers and executives
Strong ability to navigate ambiguity and build adaptive strategy
Demonstrated success in multi-threaded account management
High ownership mindset – you don’t wait for direction, you create it
Clear, concise communicator who can translate technical concepts into business value plainly
What Success Looks Like
Your accounts expand across multiple teams and use cases
Customers move from experimentation → production → global scale
You are viewed as a trusted advisor by both engineering leaders and executives
You consistently drive large, high-quality expansions aligned with customer’s business goals
