  • FOUNDING SDR (SALES DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTATIVE)
  • Location: US (2540 N 1st Street, San Jose, CA)
  • Type: Full-time
  • Reports to: CEO (initially)

We’re winning customers who are tired of

The Role

We’re hiring a Founding SDR to build our outbound engine from scratch.

This is for someone who has done early-stage startup selling before (ideally infra/devtools), sells well to technical buyers, and brings real hunger + high energy.

What You’ll Do

  • Prospect into SRE, DevOps, Platform, Infra, VP Eng
  • Run high-volume outbound across email, LinkedIn, and calls
  • Book qualified meetings and generate real pipeline
  • Learn the product deeply and improve messaging weekly
  • Build sequences, talk tracks, and a repeatable SDR playbook
  • Partner directly with the CEO + founding team

You’ll do well here if you have

  • Early-stage startup experience (Seed/Series A)
  • Experience selling infra/devtools to technical buyers
  • Entrepreneurial (has desire to start a company one day)
  • Strong outbound fundamentals + high activity
  • High ownership, urgency, and consistency
  • Comfortable coming to office 5 days / week (occasional travel)
  • The ability to learn fast, iterate, and bounce back quickly

This role is not for someone who

  • Expects to be told what to do every day
  • Needs a perfectly defined process before executing
  • Can’t handle ambiguity, change, or intensity

Who This Role Is for

This role is for someone who is entrepreneurial and wants to help build a foundational company - the kind of platform that becomes an industry default. If you want to be part of creating something in the league of Snowflake, Databricks, Rubrik (category-defining infrastructure), you’ll thrive here.

What Success Looks Like (First 60-90 Days)

  • Consistent meetings/week with ICP-fit accounts
  • Strong outbound motion that improves weekly
  • Clear learnings on personas, industries, and messaging
  • A repeatable playbook we can scale with future hires

Compensation

  • Competitive base + uncapped commission
  • Meaningful equity (early team)
  • Path to AE / Founding GTM / SDR Lead as we scale

What We Offer

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Top tier health, medical, and dental benefits
  • Meaningful equity ownership
  • Stunning colleagues
