About the Role

This is a build-the-engine-from-scratch opportunity, not an execute-an-existing-playbook one. You'll be the first GTM hire at a well-funded, seed-stage startup building graph-native context and memory infrastructure for AI agents — think persistent memory, semantic search, git-style temporal versioning, and entity resolution, all on object storage.

The company is executing across three GTM lanes simultaneously: enterprise anchor deals, Shadow Mode pilots, and PLG self-serve. The ICP is Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI at seed-to-Series D AI companies. You'll own pipeline end to end, sit next to the CEO on deal strategy and positioning, and be the first person accountable to a revenue number.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full pipeline — from sourcing and qualification through close and expansion — across all three GTM lanes

  • Run targeted outbound to Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI at early-to-growth-stage AI companies

  • Drive enterprise deal cycles from first call to signed contract

  • Design, test, and iterate on the GTM motion: identify what works, cut what doesn't, and build for scale

  • Partner closely with the CEO on positioning, deal strategy, and ICP refinement

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Early-stage GTM experience, ideally at a developer tools or infrastructure company

  • Track record of owning and being held accountable to a revenue number

  • Technical fluency sufficient for credible, peer-level conversations with engineering leaders

  • Builder mentality — you thrive creating structure from ambiguity, not following prescribed playbooks

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have:

  • Prior experience selling to AI engineering teams

  • Experience running PLG and enterprise motions in parallel

  • An existing network in the Bay Area AI/ML ecosystem

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 USD annually, plus meaningful equity

  • High-ownership, high-agency environment — your work directly drives revenue

  • Wellness programs and free daily meals in the office

  • Top-tier hardware and software setup

  • Flexible PTO focused on deep work and outcomes

  • Learning budget covering books, courses, conferences, and compute

  • Periodic team offsites

Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
