About you You’re a great fit if you have: Full-cycle selling experience in SMB or mid-market, with a track record of sourcing, qualifying, demoing, and closing your own pipeline.

owning volume: hundreds of accounts worked with focused, high-leverage touches rather than a small book of high-touch logos. Sales-technical fluency. You can hold a real conversation with a developer, understand the problem, and speak credibly about the product. A builder’s instinct for 0-to-1 work. You define the motion, not just run one that already exists. A data-driven approach to managing a large account base: you instrument the motion and let the numbers steer it. Strong written communication. Most of your selling here, internally and externally, happens in writing to developers who hate fluff. High EQ, low ego, and a bias toward earning trust by being direct, useful, and honest. Comfort working remotely in a highly autonomous, high-ownership environment. An interest in computing infrastructure and the developer-tools market. Bonus if you already use Railway or a comparable developer platform. We don’t require you to check every box on the list, and we generally prefer working with people who are hungry for knowledge in areas they feel they’re lacking in. Please don’t hesitate to shoot us an application if you find Railway and the role interesting! We value and love to work with diverse persons from all backgrounds. Things to Know For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages. We're globally distributed—and getting more so. Stuff is always happening somewhere. We don't expect you to be online all the time, but you'll need to be diligent about your boundaries — your end of day will overlap with someone else's start. We're a small, high-ownership team that cares deeply about doing exceptional work. We're scaling quickly, which means we rely on leverage—systems over coordination, judgment over process. Expect ambiguity and a fast-moving environment. You'll own real outcomes. That means making decisions, not just executing—and owning the success, or failure, that comes with them. Benefits and perks At Railway, we provide best in class benefits. Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, strong equity grants, equipment stipend, and much more.
