About Skydio
Skydio's sellers place autonomous aircraft (X10, R10, the F10 fixed-wing), docks and command software with police and fire agencies standing up Drone as First Responder programs, with utilities and corporate security teams, and with the Department of War, SOCOM and the intelligence community. Public safety is the largest motion and is cut by agency size, Majors, Mid Cities and Small Cities split East and West, plus national Campus and Corrections segments; each is hiring both a Key Account Director, who carries the team number but no accounts of their own, and a full-cycle Key Account Leader with a quota and a list of named agencies, 14 openings between them, all working next to the reseller channel. Solutions engineering is the biggest single block at 14 of 33 openings, from individual engineer to director, across SLED, utilities, site security, emerging industries, defense, federal and Japan; on the commercial side the SEs share a quota with their AE counterparts, and individual SEs travel 50 to 75% of the time. Commercial selling adds a utilities sales director, a strategic account manager leading a pod of BD, SE and program managers over a named book of the largest US enterprises' security buyers, a telecom carrier partnerships lead and a GTM analyst who owns pricing and ROI models. All but two openings are in the US, 26 remote and five at the San Mateo headquarters, while an account executive and a solutions engineer in Tokyo cover public sector and large accounts in Japan.
