About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the deployment outcome. GM-level responsibility for your customers' revenue numbers. We're aiming to 5x their meetings booked within a 1 month trial.
Build agents across the breadth of a sales rep's workday. Account strategy, prospecting, outbound emails, LinkedIn DMs, gifting, call prep, followups. Each one requires going deep on how the rep actually works.
Fully automate nuanced work on the SDR's behalf. These agents should learn over time, calibrate trust with the user, and have clear evals that prove they work.
Embed into customers. Our customers have shared Slack channels with our engineers; you'll be on calls with users one day and shipping agent improvements back to them the next.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of engineering experience, ideally including time as a technical founder, founding engineer, or forward-deployed engineer at a place with a high bar.
Production experience with AI agents. For example, you've shipped a prompt or tool change in response to a specific user complaint that same week.
Strong opinions, held loosely, about which insights from the field belong in the platform vs as customer-facing modifiers.
High agency. Comfortable owning an outcome without a clear playbook.
Strong communication. You can explain the agent to a sales team, the team's needs to engineering, and the deployment status to leadership.
Based in San Francisco, excited to be in-office 3+ days per week.

Benefits

Comp & perks

A world-class team. Around 40 engineers, mostly former founders or founding engineers and veteran builders from places like Applied Intuition, Scale, Airtable, Citadel, and Jane Street. Thirteen Olympiad medals across the team.
A founder seat in shape. GM-level ownership of a 0-to-1 product line. The skills you build here are the ones you need to start a company next.
Top-of-market compensation.
