At Momentic, we’re building the definitive verification layer for software. Despite decades of innovation, the promise of fully automated testing has remained elusive, still requiring significant human intervention. Now, as AI coding tools dramatically accelerate code output, they're generating bugs faster than traditional testing methods can catch them.
Enter Momentic: The AI-native testing platform for modern development teams. Customers like Notion, Bilt, Quora, and Xero already use Momentic to ship high quality product. Millions of Momentic tests are executed every single day.
THE PRODUCT
- Our product is incredibly sticky. Our customers run us on every pull request and merge and before each deploy as quality gates
- Our product is leagues ahead of competitors and the status quo today (think Selenium/Cypress/Playwright). We have an insanely high POC conversion rate
- Check out the demo video on our website
THE OPPORTUNITY
- We’ve done a lot of work on building in-bound pipeline for this segment. We get a consistent stream of inbound and don’t have bandwidth to manage inbound. We also have the ability to increase spend for leads in this segment.
- Conversion on these deals is within industry standards, but sales process hasn’t been optimized yet.
- Today we run a quick process: First sales call (discovery & demo), move to commercials, then let the customer start using the product.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own deals from start to finish in the mid-market segment
- Manage a large number of accounts; discovery, lightweight technical demo, and negotiation
- Optimize the sales process; increase conversion rate and decrease time to close
- Contribute to scaled outbound process to build additional pipeline when required
YOU’RE PERFECT FOR THIS ROLE IF…
- You have 2+ years mid-market sales experience
- You have a background in developer tools, testing/observability, or infrastructure
- You have a track record of selling technically complex products to developers or engineering leaders
- You’re based in SF and willing to commute to the office
About us
- Recent Series A raise of $15M led by Standard Capital, with participation from existing investors - Y Combinator, FCVC, and Transpose Platform.
- We’re a team of 13 and growing (GTM team is 1 Founder, 1 AE, 1 Solutions Engineer, and 1 CSM)
- Located in-person San Francisco @ 650 5th St (Lunch everyday and commuter benefits)
BENEFITS
- Competitive Medical, Vision, Dental insurance
- 401K
- Unlimited PTO
- Offsites and events (French Laundry last quarter)
- Fully stocked kitchen (Unlimited supply of sparkling water!)
Sponsorship
We can sponsor TN Visas. We can't sponsor or transfer H1B visas or Green Cards (I-140).

Location: San Francisco @ 650 5th St

How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Account Executive
Target SaaS and enterprise tech employers
Software and enterprise technology companies hire Account Executives at scale and have established immigration processes. They're far more likely to understand OPT work authorization and have HR teams equipped to handle the paperwork without friction.
Lead with your degree in applications
OPT eligibility depends on your role connecting to your field of study. Emphasize your business, marketing, or communications degree in your resume and cover letter to make the OPT authorization pathway immediately obvious to recruiters reviewing your application.
Address your timeline proactively in interviews
Employers often hesitate because they don't understand OPT. Explain your authorized work period clearly, mention that no sponsorship is required during OPT, and if you're on a STEM extension, clarify that it adds 24 months of authorized employment.
Pursue roles with a defined quota or territory
Account Executive positions tied to a geographic territory, named accounts, or industry vertical demonstrate structured responsibilities. This specificity strengthens the case that the role requires a degree, which reinforces your OPT authorization and supports future H-1B sponsorship arguments.
Build pipeline early in your OPT period
Account Executive hiring cycles can run four to eight weeks from application to offer. Start your search well before your OPT start date or before your current authorization ends to avoid accepting a role under deadline pressure.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I work as an Account Executive on F-1 OPT?
Yes, if the Account Executive role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a field related to your major. Most AE positions at technology and SaaS companies specify a degree in business, marketing, or communications as a requirement, which aligns well with common F-1 majors. Confirm the job posting lists a degree requirement before applying.
Do Account Executive jobs qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Some do, but it depends on your degree and the employer's STEM designation. If you hold a STEM-designated degree such as information systems, data analytics, or a quantitative business field, and the employer is E-Verify enrolled, you may qualify for the 24-month STEM extension. A standard business or marketing degree typically does not qualify for STEM OPT.
How do I find Account Executive jobs that are open to OPT candidates?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for F-1 OPT students, so you can browse Account Executive openings without wasting time on roles that exclude international candidates. Searching there saves you from applying to positions where OPT work authorization is a non-starter and helps you focus on employers who have hired OPT students before.
Does an employer need to file any paperwork to hire me on OPT as an Account Executive?
No petition or USCIS filing is required during standard OPT or STEM OPT. Your employer does need to sign your STEM OPT I-983 training plan if you're on a STEM extension, and they must be enrolled in E-Verify. Outside of that, you're authorized to work, and the employer's HR team simply onboards you like any other employee.
What happens to my Account Executive job if I don't get selected in the H-1B lottery?
If your OPT expires and you're not selected in the H-1B lottery, you lose work authorization and cannot legally continue in the role. Some employers will explore alternatives like the O-1A visa for individuals with extraordinary ability or cap-exempt H-1B sponsorship through a nonprofit or university affiliate. It's worth discussing contingency options with your employer before the lottery results are announced.
