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.
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
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
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.
This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. You'll be working in-office alongside the founding team.
