What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Sales Development Representative position at Coder?
Coder is looking for a Senior Sales Development Representative (SDR) to fuel our growth by generating qualified pipeline for our Enterprise Account Managers. You’ll help bring Coder’s Environment-as-a-Service platform to some of the world’s largest companies that are adopting AI-driven development at scale.
This role is all about creating opportunities: finding and engaging the right prospects, uncovering the pain points Coder can help with, and setting up qualification calls that set our EAMs up for success. You’ll play a critical role in driving Coder’s outbound motion and helping large organizations build software faster, more securely, and at scale through the collaboration of AI coding agents and human developers.
This is a hybrid position and requires in-office presence three days a week at our office in South Austin (78704).
What You’ll Do Here
Coder is an AI software development company leading the future of autonomous coding. We empower teams to build software faster, more securely, and at scale through the collaboration of AI coding agents and human developers. Our mission is to make agentic AI a safe, trusted, and integral part of every software development lifecycle.
Our self-hosted Cloud Development Environment (CDE) is the foundation for deploying agentic AI in the enterprise. It provides a secure, standardized, and governed workspace to deploy autonomous coding agents alongside human developers, accelerating innovation while maintaining control and compliance. Coder's isolated, policy-driven environments improve productivity, cut cloud costs, and reduce data risks. Developers transition to AI at their own pace using their own tools. Platform and security teams can govern, audit, and manage a great developer experience at scale.
Interview process
We believe that the interview process should be transparent, consistent, and enjoyable. We value your time and hope to complete the interview process in two to four weeks, if schedules allow. Through your interviews, you will meet a mix of individual contributors, managers, and leadership.
AI use during the interview process
As an AI company, Coder embraces the use of AI tools, and we want to be transparent about our expectations as you navigate our interview process.
