Recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025, a Tech Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, and a winner of Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech, we are building the Age Layer for the internet — the fundamental infrastructure that allows digital platforms to verify age and manage compliance globally without friction.

We replace fragmented, manual compliance with a unified API that handles age verification, parental consent, and regulatory logic across 200+ markets.

Role Overview

We are looking for a commercially driven Sales Development Representative to help build pipeline and generate qualified opportunities across digital platforms and technology companies.
This is an inside sales role focused on outbound prospecting, account research, lead qualification, and early stage relationship building. You will work closely with the sales team, marketing, and company leadership to open doors with senior stakeholders across product, legal, trust and safety, privacy, policy, security, engineering, and business leadership functions.
This role is not limited to one segment. While some of your work may include AI companies and developer platforms, the role is broader and will support outreach across gaming, social platforms, digital services, marketplaces, creator tools, and other technology companies facing growing pressure around youth safety, privacy, identity, and age assurance.
The right person for this role is hungry, organized, persistent, and strong at both research and outreach. You should be comfortable building new relationships from scratch, tailoring messaging to different buyer types, and operating in a fast moving startup environment.
