About F5
F5's sellers carry its Application Delivery and Security Platform (BIG-IP, NGINX and Distributed Cloud Services, deployed in data centers, public clouds and at the edge) and a newer AI Security Platform assembled from the CalypsoAI and Surepath acquisitions. Field account executives hold a quota on named enterprise accounts and work deals with systems integrators, large service providers and regional VARs, and 39 of the 125 openings are solutions engineers and architects paired with them, about one for every two quota sellers. A Digital Sales organization covers the mid-market with digital territory account managers and key sales account managers on a 50/50 pay mix, fed by business development reps in Spokane Valley, Washington and by language desks (Hebrew in Tel Aviv, Italian in Cork). Specialist teams sell to service providers (solutions engineers dedicated to Telefonica in Madrid and Orange in Paris, CSP account teams in Tokyo and Jakarta), to government (the Defense Information Systems Agency from Reston, US federal revenue, Japanese public accounts) and to AI security buyers, where a New York metro sales manager leads enterprise AEs and AI product specialists across the US. Between a third and a half of the openings are US field roles spread over most states; Tokyo has 10, Singapore 8 and Seoul 5, and the rest are in India, Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe, the Gulf, South Africa and Latin America.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
