Get to know us better CodiLime is a specialist engineering partner for complex, modern networks and software-defined infrastructure. Since 2011 we’ve designed, delivered, and maintained custom solutions across networking, cloud, and security for networking vendors, telecoms, software providers, and semiconductor companies. Over 90% of our clients are based in Silicon Valley, giving us strong expertise working at the forefront of global tech innovation.

While no longer a startup - we have 250+ people on board and have been operating since 2011 we’ve kept our people-oriented culture. Our values are simple:

Act

to deliver.

Disrupt

to grow.

Team up

to win.

The opportunity We’re expanding our US footprint - especially in the San Francisco Bay Area - by helping customers modernize and automate networks, migrate to cloud, virtualize network functions, and build resilient, secure networked products. This BDM will be our point of attack in the Bay Area ecosystem, opening net-new logos and growing strategic accounts in networking/SDN, cloud-native.

Why CodiLime

A sharp, niche engineering bench across networking, cloud, and security that customers consistently cite as a differentiator.

Offer portfolio spanning

network virtualization & cloud migration, automation, infrastructure design/build,

and

environment modernization

—gives you multiple “doors” into an account.

Collaborative culture and seasoned delivery leadership used to working with US clients and distributed teams.

What You’ll do

Own new-logo hunting

in the Bay Area: build and convert a pipeline of networking vendors, cloud-native platform teams, telecom/edge players, and semiconductor/network silicon companies.

Run the full cycle : prospect, qualify, shape problems with solution architects/engineering leads, drive proposals/SOWs, negotiate MSAs, and close.

Position CodiLime services

(network virtualization & cloud migration, network automation, infrastructure design and build, environment modernization) against customer needs and ROI.

Develop partner/economic buyers : engage product engineering leaders, heads of networking, CTO/VP Eng, procurement, and relevant partners to accelerate cycles (informed by competitor BDM roles emphasizing partner/channel collaboration).

Forecast with discipline : maintain accurate CRM hygiene, deal reviews, and predictable quarterly commits.

Be the voice of the customer : relay market feedback to delivery and marketing to refine offers and collateral.

Represent CodiLime locally : meetups, industry events, selective travel in the US.

What You’ll bring

5-10+ years

of new-business sales in engineering services/consulting or complex solutions for

networking/SDN, cloud, and/or security ; comfort selling to technical leaders.

Working fluency with concepts like

network virtualization (NFV/VNF), SDN, network automation, Kubernetes/cloud-native stacks, data-center and telco networking —you don’t need to be an engineer, but you can credibly discuss architectures and trade-offs.

Bring an existing, active network

of contacts (C-level/VP) in the

Networking/SDN, Cloud, and/or Security

sectors to immediately accelerate lead generation and market penetration.

Hunter DNA : consistent track record of sourcing pipeline and closing multi-stakeholder, services-led deals.

Experience building

partner ecosystems

(cloud/telco/network vendors, ISVs, SIs) to create pipeline and co-sell motions.

Mastery of complex sales choreography: discovery, business case creation, proposal/SOW structuring,

MSA

negotiation, and deal governance.

Clear, persuasive communicator; comfortable presenting to executives and deeply technical teams.

Location : Based in the

San Francisco Bay Area

with on-site client meetings as needed and periodic US travel for key accounts and events.

Beyond the criteria above, we would appreciate the nice-to-haves:

Network or cloud vendor background, or prior experience selling to

networking vendors, telecoms, cloud-native security/observability players, or semiconductor/network silicon teams .

Familiarity with

Kubernetes ecosystem

and modern DevOps/CI/CD practices found in networked software products.

Existing Bay Area relationships that shorten the path to first meetings.

The goals You’ll be measured on

Sourced pipeline

creation and

new ARR

from US customers.

Meetings

with target ICPs and

qualified

opportunities

opened per quarter.

Win rate / cycle time

on services opportunities;

expansion

within initial wins.

Executive

references

from closed customers.
