This is a build-the-engine-from-scratch opportunity at a well-backed, early-stage AI infrastructure company building graph-native context and memory for AI agents. The platform delivers persistent context via a GraphDB on object storage — with semantic search, git-style temporal versioning, and entity resolution — purpose-built for modern AI workloads.
You will be the first GTM hire, sitting directly next to the CEO on deal strategy and positioning, and the first person accountable to a revenue number. GTM spans three lanes: enterprise anchor deals, pilot programs, and PLG self-serve. The ICP is Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI at seed-to-Series D AI companies.
If you've wanted to build a GTM motion from zero at a company with genuine technical differentiation, this is that role.
Own end-to-end pipeline: sourcing, qualifying, closing, and expanding deals across all GTM lanes
Run outbound to Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI at seed-to-Series D AI companies
Drive enterprise deal cycles from first call to signed contract
Design and iterate on the GTM motion — identifying what works, what doesn't, and how to scale it
Collaborate closely with the CEO on positioning, deal strategy, and ICP refinement
Align activity across enterprise anchors, pilots, and PLG self-serve in parallel
Required:
Early-stage GTM experience with direct, end-to-end revenue ownership — ideally at a developer tools or infrastructure company
Proven track record sourcing, qualifying, negotiating, and closing enterprise deals with multi-stakeholder cycles
Outbound prospecting experience targeting engineering leadership at AI/ML companies
Technical enough to have credible conversations with engineering leaders
Builder mentality: you create structure, you don't follow it
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to craft compelling messaging and value propositions
Ability to work in-person in San Francisco
Nice to Have:
Prior experience selling to AI engineering teams
Experience running PLG and enterprise motions simultaneously
Existing network in the Bay Area AI/ML ecosystem
Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 annually
Meaningful equity — early employee ownership in a well-differentiated product
Flexible PTO
Learning budget: books, courses, conferences, and compute
Wellness programs and daily meals in the office
Top-tier hardware and software
Periodic team offsites
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
This is a full-time, on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. In-person presence is required.
Be cautious! Do not send money to a potential employer. Do not pay any money for a potential contract of employment or for pre-employment training.
