About Telnyx

Telnyx is an industry leader that's not just imagining the future of global connectivity—we're building it. From architecting and amplifying the reach of a private, global, multi-cloud IP network, to bringing hyperlocal edge technology right to your fingertips through intuitive APIs, we're shaping a new era of seamless interconnection between people, devices, and applications.

We're driven by a desire to transform and modernize what's antiquated, automate the manual, and solve real-world problems through innovative connectivity solutions. As a testament to our success, we're proud to stand as a financially stable and profitable company. Our robust profitability allows us not only to invest in pioneering technologies but also to foster an environment of continuous learning and growth for our team.

Our collective vision is a world where borderless connectivity fuels limitless innovation. By joining us, you can be part of laying the foundations for this interconnected future. We're currently seeking passionate individuals who are excited about the opportunity to contribute to an industry-shaping company while growing their own skills and careers.

 

The Role

Most communications platforms resell someone else's network. We built ours — a private global IP network, our own carrier interconnects, and the voice, messaging, wireless, and inference stack that runs on top of it. When latency and uptime are the product, owning the infrastructure is the difference between a demo and a deployment.

We're hiring Enterprise Account Executives to sell that stack across US Central. You'll own a named list of 30–40 accounts and work in a pod with a dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to turn them into production Telnyx customers.
This is not a remote overlay on an existing territory. One AE, one FDE, full cycle — executive relationship through production deployment. You win together. Nothing gets thrown over the wall.
You sell the workload, not the SKU. Enterprises buy a production outcome — an AI contact center, a SOC/NOC agent, global communications, connected mobility, enterprise inference — that runs on Telnyx primitives. You lead with the outcome, not the product menu.

The Pod Model

Enterprise AE — owns the named-account list, builds the executive relationships, gets in the room, runs commercial qualification and close, expands the account. 

Forward Deployed Engineer — owns technical discovery, designs the architecture, builds the proof of concept when one is required, gets the first workload live, clears blockers and finds the next workload.

What You'll Do

• Own 30–40 named enterprise accounts in US Central, narrowing to about 10 Tier 1 accounts, each worth $1M+ in annual potential
• Write a workload thesis for every Tier 1: the specific production outcome, who owns it, what it's worth, and what has to be true to win it
• Get in the room with CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and the line-of-business owners who actually hold the budget
• Run the full cycle alongside your FDE — prospect, qualify, design the commercial architecture, negotiate, close
• Agree the commercial destination before any custom work begins. No free discovery, no free development.
• Hold the line on POC discipline: named executive sponsor, written success criteria, production pricing already discussed, a decision date, and a signed commercial document. POCs end in production or they end.
• Expand the account — one workload becomes three, one $500K customer becomes a $2M customer
• Forecast accurately and keep the pipeline clean. No surprises.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of enterprise sales experience selling CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, telecom, or AI/ML platforms
• Consistent overachievement against a seven-figure quota, with individual deals over $1M
• Credible with executive and technical buyers alike — you hold your own in the boardroom and in the architecture review
• Hunter mentality. You build your own pipeline and you like doing it.
• Consultative selling range: you can build the ROI case for a CFO and the technical case for a VP of Engineering, and hold your ground against Twilio and Vonage
• Disciplined with a methodology (MEDDPICC, Challenger, SPIN) and with the stack (Salesforce, Outreach, Gong)
• Excellent written and verbal communication. You listen before you pitch.
• Willing to travel across US Central to meet customers in person

Bonus Points For

• Fortune 500 or large-enterprise new-logo experience in the US Central market
• Complex sales cycles involving RFPs and competitive bake-offs, plus procurement, security, and legal review
• Working knowledge of SIP trunking, number provisioning, carrier networks, or AI/ML infrastructure
• Established relationships in the US Central enterprise ecosystem — energy (ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Halliburton), logistics (American Airlines, Southwest, FedEx, UPS), healthcare (HCA Healthcare, Baylor Scott & White, Tenet), financial services (USAA, Charles Schwab), or Houston/Austin/Chicago/Denver markets

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
