Inside Sales Executive

We're looking for Sales Partners to bring Selfhost.dev to the developers, agencies, and teams who'd benefit from it. This isn't a traditional quota-and-churn sales seat. It's a partnership: you build relationships, bring teams onto Selfhost.dev, and share in the value they create over time.

Selfhost.dev is a managed-database and app-deployment platform. Your job is to find teams who are overpaying for fragmented infrastructure and show them a simpler, cheaper way to run their whole stack.

What you'll do

• Identify and reach out to teams, agencies, and developers who'd be a strong fit for Selfhost.dev.
• Run conversations and demos that show how Selfhost.dev replaces expensive, fragmented infrastructure.
• Guide new customers through getting started, and help them grow over time.
• Build long-term relationships. Your success is tied to your customers' success.
• Bring feedback from the field back to our product team.

You'll be a fit if

• You're comfortable starting conversations with technical teams and founders.
• You understand cloud infrastructure and developer tooling, or you're eager to learn.
• You're self-directed and do your best work remotely.
• You are motivated by building something that compounds, not chasing one-off commissions.
• You communicate clearly and follow through.

How you'll earn

Our partner model rewards long-term customer success, not one-time deals. For every customer you bring to Selfhost.dev, you earn a recurring commission for as long as they stay with us, so your earnings compound as your book of customers grows.

We'll walk you through the exact commission structure when we talk.

Why join us

• Fully remote, with flexible hours.
• Uncapped, recurring earnings that grow with your customers.
• Work directly with the founders and product team.
• Get in early on a fast-moving platform in a growing market.

Apply with

• A short note on your sales or partnership experience.
• Anything that shows how you build relationships and close deals (optional).
• Your LinkedIn or a quick intro about yourself (optional).
