Job Description

At Loka our teams launch meaningful projects across a wide range of industries. In the last year we helped advance the world’s #1 AI reading tutor, transform rundown homes into green machines and accelerate novel drug discovery to fight leukemia. And we did it all while working 100% remotely and enjoying every other Friday off 😎

We’re seeking experienced technical sales reps or candidates with a strong technical background combined with customer-facing experience. You should take genuine joy in helping businesses succeed by diagnosing cloud architecture challenges and advising the most appropriate technical solutions. Your sales training is more important than your engineering and/or cloud account management experience: The former builds the kind of knowledge you’ll need to hit the ground running; the latter you’ll earn along the way.

As an inaugural AWS Generative AI Partner, we offer a unique platform to leverage your expertise and contribute to our innovative projects. A strong drive to close deals and a competitive spirit are essential, but the ability to thrive in a team-driven environment will make you a great fit.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the full sales cycle post-prospecting, including discovery, client meetings, presentations, proposals, negotiations and ongoing account management, aligning with TSLs for strategic input if needed.
  • Build and nurture long-term relationships with key stakeholders at AWS.
  • Collaborate closely with our engineering team to define project scopes and ensure the successful delivery of solutions.
  • Represent Loka at industry events and conferences to enhance our visibility and expand our network.
  • Work closely with sales leads, engineers and project managers to ensure seamless project execution and client satisfaction.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business or a related field; advanced degree (MS, PhD) a plus
  • Minimum of 3+ years of technical experience in engineering, AI/ML, data science, product management, solution architecture, sales engineering or a related field OR equivalent experience in a priority vertical such as Healthcare or Life Sciences
  • Proven track record in a customer-facing role, preferably within the technology sector
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to understand and communicate technical concepts, especially in the data and infrastructure space
  • Good organizational skills and ability to manage a wide range of diverse projects and customer needs concurrently
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities effectively
  • Ability to travel to meet clients and attend industry events up to 25% of the month
  • Eligible to work in the US without sponsorship

Benefits

  • Every other Friday off (26 extra days off a year)
  • Remote and flexible (must be within one hour of Seattle, New York or Arlington AWS hubs)
  • 401(k) matching
  • Short- and long-term disability coverage
  • Premium health insurance
  • Paid sick days and local holidays
  • Premium mental health subscriptions
  • Continuous Learning Support

Please submit your CV in English.

About Loka

Loka is a Silicon Valley software consultancy with global impact, bringing innovations to market faster since 2004. We connect clients in high-precision industries like Healthcare, Life Sciences, Education and Logistics to the tech that empowers their most effective work. We believe what you develop matters and bet you do too.

In 2024 AWS named Loka Innovation Partner of the Year—the same year in which we achieved AWS Premier Tier and were named part of AWS’s inaugural Generative AI Competency class. In the 18 months prior we identified more than 200 GenAI use cases for clients ranging from Cameo to Blue Cross Blue Shield. After two decades based in the Valley, Loka operates at the bleeding edge of AI, ML, DevOps, Data and Design—and is being recognized by the most authoritative sources in the tech world.

Whether building chatbots trained on proprietary data, developing apps to hyper-specific brand requirements or helping biotech companies accelerate novel drugs to eradicate cancer, our full-cycle team of engineers, developers and designers find the solutions that fit our clients’ unique needs and steer them away from the ones that don’t. We work around the clock (literally—we count employees in 18 different countries across seven time zones) but take every other Friday off to recharge. Our Explore and Relo programs encourage Lokals to live and work in rising tech hubs around the world, igniting their curiosity and imbuing their output with global perspective. We are small but mighty, fully remote but fully engaged and always Monday ready.

If you’re a founder or leader, we can help you grow. And if you’re a talented engineer seeking an unconventional but high-achieving workplace, we’d love to work with you.
