Full Job Description
About the Role

This is a ground-floor GTM opportunity at a seed-stage AI infrastructure company building graph-native context and memory tooling for AI agents. You'll be the first person accountable to a revenue number, sitting directly alongside the CEO to build the sales engine from scratch across enterprise, pilot, and self-serve motions.
What You'll Do
  • Own the full pipeline from outbound sourcing through deal expansion.
  • Run targeted outbound to Directors of Engineering and Heads of AI at seed-to-Series D AI companies.
  • Drive enterprise deal cycles end-to-end, from first conversation to signed contract.
  • Design, test, and iterate on the GTM motion across enterprise and product-led growth tracks in parallel.
  • Partner closely with the CEO on positioning, ICP refinement, and deal strategy.
What We're Looking For
  • Early-stage GTM experience, ideally at a developer tools or infrastructure company.
  • A track record of owning and being held accountable to a revenue number.
  • Technical fluency sufficient to hold credible conversations with engineering leaders.
  • Builder mentality - you create structure rather than follow it.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience selling to AI or ML engineering teams is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity running PLG and enterprise motions simultaneously is a plus.
  • An existing network in the Bay Area AI/ML ecosystem is a plus.
