About Us

Softdrive is a VC-backed startup putting the PC into the cloud. Our mission is to enable incredible computer interaction, prioritizing end user-experience over all else. We’re solving the pains of legacy VDI without the complexity or cost that has defined the industry for decades.

Our solution is 5x faster, 50% less expensive, and deploys 80% faster than legacy industry players. We deliver the lowest total cost of ownership in the market, handle GPU- and CPU-intensive workloads at scale, and eliminate the burden of physical hardware. We build and stream VMs to any device, across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, so teams can stay productive from anywhere without being constrained by their hardware. We’re proud to build in partnership with Oracle, NVIDIA, and Autodesk.

Joining Softdrive means working on hard infrastructure problems that actually matter, at a company early enough that your work shapes the product, the team, and the culture. We move fast, operate with high ownership, and are building something the industry's biggest players haven't been able to crack.

About the Role

Softdrive is targeting mid-to-enterprise organizations with 200-10,000 VMs within the AEC, media & entertainment, healthcare, and call centers markets — who are actively looking to move off legacy virtual desktop platforms amid rising costs and aging infrastructure.

We're hiring an Account Executive to manage the full sales cycle end to end, from self-sourced prospecting through close. At our current stage, this role combines what would traditionally be split across a BDR and an AE: you'll generate a meaningful share of your own pipeline alongside working qualified opportunities. You'll own complex, multi-stakeholder deal cycles from first outreach through close, and work closely with the CEO to help refine a sales motion in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Key Responsibilities Build and manage a self-sourced pipeline through targeted outbound prospecting, alongside working inbound and marketing-qualified opportunities Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving IT, security, and procurement across multiple verticals and industries Build and defend Softdrive's value proposition against legacy incumbent solutions with a rip-and-replace narrative Navigate technical evaluations and proof-of-concepts in partnership with Solutions Engineering Accurately forecast pipeline and maintain CRM hygiene Contribute to sales enablement, competitive positioning, and playbook development as an early GTM hire Partner with Customer Success to ensure a smooth handoff and identify expansion potential post-close
