Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Enterprise Account Executive roles in observability sit at a key junction of modern SaaS, where revenue growth depends on solving reliability and performance problems for engineering-led buyers. This position is tied to Observe by Snowflake, positioning the work within data cloud infrastructure and AI-assisted tooling used when systems operate at very large telemetry volumes and operational complexity.
For a SaaS sales career, the role builds fluency in selling to technical stakeholders such as SRE, engineering, and data leadership, where credibility is earned through diagnosis and architecture-level conversation rather than feature walkthroughs. It also offers repeated exposure to enterprise sales mechanics that translate across SaaS categories, including multi-threading, land-and-expand motions, and navigating high-ACV deal cycles that require tight qualification and disciplined process.
This role tends to suit sellers who prefer owning outcomes end to end, from creating pipeline through closing, and who stay effective when conversations are highly technical. It is a strong match for professionals who want their craft measured in complex deal execution and who are motivated by products that become embedded in how large organizations run and troubleshoot software at scale.

Job Description
At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
Observe by Snowflake brings AI-native observability to the Snowflake AI Data Cloud helping engineering and data teams debug, optimize, and understand systems operating at massive scale.
Modern systems don’t break at GB/day they break at TB/day. Traditional, index-based observability tools weren’t built for this world. Observe by Snowflake unifies telemetry and business data, applies AI to connect context automatically, and reduces time to resolution from hours to minutes.
We’re entering the next phase of growth: scaling to $1B in the next 5 years. We’ve moved successfully upmarket into complex enterprise deals, larger ACVs, and strategic customer relationships.
This is a high-impact role for a seller who wants to operate at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and modern engineering and help define a new category.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Own full-cycle enterprise sales, from self-sourced pipeline through close
Build and convert pipeline in a high-velocity, high-ACV environment (now ~$400K+ enterprise deals)
Lead technical, consultative conversations around AI-driven observability and data strategy
Sell into engineering, SRE, and data leaders solving problems at TB-scale
Drive $500K plus land-and-expand motions with multi-million dollar growth potential
Work cross-functionally with Snowflake teams to capitalize on the massive opportunity within the Snowflake ecosystem
Stay committed to growth: learn fast, apply quickly, adapt constantly.
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
You’re not selling dashboards you’re changing core enterprise processes with huge ROI
Observe is a high-growth business unit within Snowflake, benefiting from significant scale while preserving a fast-moving, builder-oriented culture.
The problem is real: data volume explosion, broken context across tools, and slower developer productivity
The deals are big, complex, and visible with meaningful upside and impact
The company is working: world-class retention, high growth, and increasing enterprise traction
WHAT MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL
You can create your own pipeline and consistently convert it
You’ve sold complex, technical products (observability, infrastructure, data, or adjacent)
You’re comfortable leading with architecture, not just features
You bring intensity: high energy, fast processing, and clear communication
You have strong sales intuition (MEDDICC or similar) and a track record of outperforming peers
You’re resilient you’ve succeeded in ambiguous or early-stage environments
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Domain familiarity in observability, infrastructure, or data platforms
Technical curiosity and ability to engage deeply with engineers
Evidence of excellence: top performer, quota overachievement, promotions
Persistence, competitiveness, and ownership mentality
Growth mindset you’re still getting better every quarter
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
