About Factory
Our mission is to create a world where software builds and improves itself.
We build the platform for self-improving software development, helping the world's largest enterprise engineering teams turn their organizations into autonomous software factories. Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.
In 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).
About the Role
You will build and lead Factory's West Enterprise sales organization and carry the number for the region. This is a second-line leadership role for someone who has succeeded as an individual contributor, led teams that hit their number, and then built the leaders who do it again and again. You will set the regional strategy, develop talent at every level, run a disciplined forecast, and step into the region's most strategic deals when it matters. You will also help anchor and scale our San Francisco office by hiring leaders, building the team, and shaping the culture of our GTM hub.
Your Regional Directors lead Enterprise Account Executives who run technical, multi-stakeholder sales cycles at Fortune 1000 and high-growth enterprise companies, selling Factory's Droids to CIOs, CTOs, engineering leaders, and procurement.
