We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We're high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.

- Run product demos that make customers say "wow"
- Develop and execute strategies to land high-value customers
- Work closely with SDRs to keep the pipeline strong and moving
- Negotiate contracts, hit targets, and drive revenue growth
What You'll Need
- 2+ years in a sales role, ideally in SaaS or AI/tech products
- Experience managing a full sales cycle, from lead generation to close
- Strong communication skillsyou can tell a great story and sell a vision
- A consultative approachhelp customers see the business value, not just the features
- A competitive edgeyou're driven, persistent, and love closing deals
