What You'll Do

  • Hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing SDR team focused on both inbound qualification and outbound pipeline generation
  • Define the SDR motion; personas, sequences, messaging, territory, and handoff process — tailored to a technical, developer-centric buyer
  • Partner with Marketing to convert CodeRabbit's large free and open-source user base into qualified pipeline

What You'll Do

  • Coach SDRs on technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and pipeline generation
  • Run weekly team meetings, 1:1s, and performance reviews with a focus on development and growth
  • Foster a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and continuous improvement

What You'll Do

  • Own the SDR contribution to pipeline targets and report to senior leadership on performance, forecasts, and headcount needs
  • Collaborate closely with AEs and Sales leadership to ensure seamless handoffs and high conversion rates from SDR-sourced pipeline
  • Build the comp structure, career path, and hiring profile for the SDR org

What You'll Do

  • Track leading indicators; activity, connect rates, meetings set, pipeline generated — and use data to iterate quickly

What You'll Do

  • 5+ years in sales development leadership
  • Experience selling developer tools, DevOps, or technical SaaS — you understand how to reach and resonate with engineering buyers
  • A track record of building or significantly scaling an outbound SDR function
  • Strong coaching instincts — you know how to develop early-career talent and get the best out of people
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity; you're energized by building, not just managing

  • Familiarity with modern SDR tooling (Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, intent platforms)

What You'll Do

  • Experience selling into engineering, product, or developer personas
  • Familiarity with the AI coding or code quality space
