What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Sales Development Representative position at talentpluto?
Location: Remote (United States)
Work Model: Remote
Industry: AI infrastructure / inference
Compensation: $85K base, $140K OTE
About The Company
Our partner is an early-stage, venture-backed AI infrastructure company delivering some of the fastest inference available on open models for enterprise and serverless customers. The team is small and unusually dense, and demand is currently outpacing capacity.
The Opportunity
This is the first dedicated outbound seat on the team. Top-of-funnel work is a company priority today but sits with a founder who cannot give it the time it needs, so this hire takes it over outright rather than plugging into an existing machine.
You will build the outbound motion from the ground up: the target lists, the sequences, the calling cadence and the qualification bar. You will work directly alongside the people making product and compute decisions, and you will see the results of your pipeline in the company's revenue almost immediately.
