About the Company

We're building the real-time data gateway for the emerging AI-agent economy — APIs that let AI agents access live data from authoritative sources of truth. As information consumption shifts from humans searching pre-crawled indexes to agents doing real-time targeted crawling, we're building the layer that doesn't yet exist. We serve 150+ enterprise customers, are just shy of $10M ARR, profitable, and grew 10x in 2025. Backed by a top-tier accelerator and leading venture investors.

Founded 2023 · 11–50 people · Industry: AI Tools / data infrastructure

The Role

We're hiring 2 Account Executives to close mid-market and enterprise deals across a $50K–$500K ACV range (sweet spot $50–200K), running the full cycle from prospecting through close. The motion is conversion-heavy with strong inbound supplemented by outbound; cycles range from same-week closes to year-long deals, averaging 60–90 days.

What you'll be doing

  • Full-cycle sales: prospecting, discovery, demo, negotiation, and close on $50K–$500K ACV deals.
  • Convert high-volume inbound into closed deals across mid-market and enterprise segments.
  • Run outbound to expand into target accounts beyond inbound.
  • Maintain flexibility across deal sizes from $50K to $500K (no hard verticalization yet).
  • Travel occasionally to in-person customer meetings and 2–3 conferences per year.
  • Contribute to the founding sales motion as the company scales toward Series A and beyond.

Requirements

  • 2-7 years full-cycle B2B SaaS sales
  • $50-500K ACV (sweet spot $50-200K)
  • Mid-market + enterprise (NOT SMB-only)
  • SDR or founding AE background a huge plus
  • Technical adjacent (CS, solutions eng, ex-founder)
  • SF 5 days in-person

Green Flags

  • Took a company C→C, A→C, or A→D as first or early salesperson.
  • SDR-then-AE pattern at a high-growth startup
  • Ex-founder (somewhat successful) now pivoting to sales
  • Technical adjacent: ex-solutions engineer, CS major/minor, ex-software engineer who moved to sales, ex-data science background
  • Top of team performance: ranked number 1 or 2 on a team.
  • Hustle and speed signal: fast ramp, willing to grind, comfortable closing same-week deals AND working year-long enterprise cycles

Red Flags

  • Databricks or Snowflake mass-hire AEs
  • Slow-moving enterprise sellers without scrappy chapters.
  • Job-hoppers.
  • SMB-only background
  • Needs new H-1B sponsorship. Transfers OK, fresh sponsorship is not.
  • Quota % padding without context.

Why Join

  • Category-defining product with no incumbent owner in a fast-emerging space.
  • Explosive, profitable traction: 150+ enterprise customers, ~$10M ARR, 10x growth in 2025.
  • Uncapped OTE — strong performers clear $500K+, with $1M+ achievable in year two.
