RemoteRemoteBusiness Development$90k–$120k/yrFull-time

Responsibilities

  • Drive Sales Opportunities: Proactively engage users exhibiting high-potential usage signals (e.g., specific API patterns, advanced feature experimentation, new workspace invites) to guide them toward opportunities for the sales team.
  • Identify & Convert: Execute highly personalized, data-driven outreach sequences to connect with AI practitioners, technical leads, and business decision-makers. Your goal is to understand their platform behaviors and signals in order to generate qualified sales leads.
  • Surface PQLs: Partner with RevOps and Growth to analyze product telemetry and surface Product-Qualified Leads (PQLs) with clear expansion potential (e.g., users building RAG, Agents, semantic search, or recommender systems).
  • Work on GTM Automation: Collaborate with RevOps to build and maintain scalable sales automation workflows using tools like Clay, n8n, Zapier, Retool, and our own product's query insights to dramatically reduce manual prospecting.
  • Create Feedback Loops: Work cross-functionally with Product and Marketing to provide direct feedback on inbound quality, user friction points, and emerging persona trends from the front lines.

Requirements

  • Has 1–2+ years of BDR/SDR experience in a fast-paced, technical startup—ideally in developer tools, data infrastructure, or the AI/ML space.
  • Deeply understands modern PLG + Sales hybrid models and is energized by the challenge of bridging product usage to revenue.
  • Possesses a "guide" or "teacher" mindset, genuinely motivated by helping users solve problems and achieve "aha" moments that lead to deeper product adoption.
  • Thrives in ambiguous and fast-changing environments; you have high agency, are proactive, and are guided by data.
  • Passionate about AI, automation, and GTM innovation. You naturally use tools like ChatGPT, Clay, Gong, and Loom to be more effective.
  • Loves metrics (PQLs, conversion rates, consumption) but doesn’t wait to be told what to do, constantly iterating on playbooks and documenting what works.

Bonus Points

  • Direct experience with vector databases, LLM applications, embeddings, or developer ecosystems.
  • You've built your own prospecting automations or played with tools like Navattic, Salesroom, Regie.ai, or n8n.
  • You have worked in a pod-based or "full-cycle lite" GTM setup where BDRs are responsible for driving adoption and consumption metrics, not just booking meetings.
  • You can show examples of creative, high-value outreach you've designed.
