About the job

Empowering Innovation with AI

At tierzero, we believe that engineers should focus on building, not battling operational challenges. Our AI agents handle tedious tasks, allowing engineering teams to work efficiently and effectively. With our solutions, companies can achieve a remarkable 40% faster incident resolution, saving over 7,000 engineering hours annually. Our clients, including Discord, Drata, and WeightWatchers, testify that they cannot function without tierzero.

Having successfully raised $7M from Accel and SV Angel, we are now seeking our inaugural Sales Development Representative (SDR) to spearhead our outbound sales efforts and transform a vast market opportunity into a robust sales pipeline.

Your Role

As our first outbound hire, you will collaborate closely with the CEO, who currently oversees the entire sales cycle. Your primary focus will be on generating leads and filling the sales funnel with qualified opportunities.

You will start from scratch, creating your own outreach strategies, identifying key messaging, and determining which personas to target. Every outreach you initiate will play a pivotal role in shaping tierzero's sales approach for years to come.

Your Responsibilities

Generate Pipeline from Ground Up

  • Engage in cold calling and emailing, creatively prospecting within engineering organizations of Series C+ companies. We're looking for a proactive go-getter who can turn opportunities into action.

  • Conduct thorough research on target accounts, mapping organizational structures, and identifying the right contacts—whether it's the Engineering Manager feeling the operational pain, the VP of Engineering assessing AI tools, or the Staff Engineer who is intrigued yet skeptical.

  • Develop multi-step outbound sequences, testing various messaging strategies and calls-to-action, while rapidly iterating based on effectiveness.

  • Utilize customer-centric language that resonates with engineers, ensuring our outreach feels authentic and relatable.

Collaborate with the Founding Team to Establish Outbound Sales Processes

  • Define and refine our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), target personas, and buying triggers through data-driven experimentation.

  • Create qualification criteria to differentiate between worthwhile meetings and polite declines.

  • Set up dashboards, KPIs, and a reliable process for pipeline creation.

  • Document successful strategies to ensure they are replicable, paving the way for future team members you will help recruit.
