About the role

What you’ll do

  • Drive enterprise account strategy — Work alongside AEs to map target accounts and identify the right entry points across security, platform, and engineering teams.
  • Run thoughtful, technical outbound — Craft highly personalized outreach that resonates with developers, DevOps, and security leaders — no generic sequences.
  • Understand how modern infrastructure works — Research how companies build and ship software (containers, CI/CD, cloud environments) to make your outreach relevant and credible.
  • Lead meaningful early conversations — Qualify opportunities by understanding technical context, risk posture, and business priorities.
  • Build real pipeline, not just meetings — Focus on creating opportunities that move forward — quality over quantity.
  • Act as an extension of the AE — Collaborate on account plans, messaging, and deal progression.
  • Use tools intelligently — Leverage Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft, and data tools to execute efficiently — but never at the expense of quality.
  • Continuously improve the motion — Test messaging, share insights, and help refine how we engage the market.
  • Be a feedback loop to the business — Bring insights from conversations back to marketing and product — especially what resonates (or doesn’t) with technical buyers.

What we're looking for

  • 1+ years as a BDR/SDR, ideally working with mid-market or enterprise accounts
  • Proven ability to generate pipeline through outbound (not just inbound qualification)
  • Experience engaging multiple stakeholders within technical or complex organizations
  • Strong writing skills — especially in crafting personalized, relevant outreach
  • Curious and motivated to learn how modern software and security actually work
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and building your own approach
  • Experience with Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft, or similar tools
  • Track record of hitting or exceeding pipeline targets

What makes this role compelling

  • Sell something technical buyers respect — security + open source + developer-first
  • Go deeper technically — engage with real infrastructure and security problems
  • Operate as part of the deal team — not just top-of-funnel support
  • Have real impact on revenue — not just activity metrics
