Beta Testing Jobs in Irvine, CA (NOW HIRING)

Douglas Adams once said, "Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet." Funny, because it's true; so much so that it sparked our unrelenting mission to increase the positive impact of technology on people's lives.

From robot vacuums and voice assistants to banking apps, smart toys, and backyard grills, Centercode has helped shape countless products in virtually every household, and chances are good we've impacted your life already. We're full of people who take pride in striving toward our goals and having a blast while doing it. We're always on the lookout for enthusiastic, like-minded people to join us in making everyday life better through technology.

As an Account Executive, you'll drive new SaaS revenue while leveraging Centercode's network of advocates and executive communities. This role combines full-cycle enterprise sales with strategic relationship development across our Advocates (industry professionals who open doors), and members of our Braintrust (executives in product and quality disciplines). You'll identify and close opportunities sourced independently, as well as through marketing leads and network introductions. 

Working closely with our Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams, you'll translate connections into pipeline and build long-term customer relationships that support Centercode's continued growth. If you thrive on building connections, spotting win-win opportunities, and turning conversations into partnerships, this is the role for you.
