We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and high-performing Business Development Representative (BDR) to drive revenue and pipeline across the North American market. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and bring a relentless, high-performance mindset to every quarter. While you will partner closely with marketing to capitalize on inbound demand, your true energy comes from building a robust pipeline from cold lists and uncovering untapped opportunities through strategic Account-Based outbounding.

We sell to the elite engineers architecting demanding systems, and your mission is to get a seat at the table with them before our competitors even know a deal exists. You won't just be pitching a product; you’ll be leading with value selling, deeply understanding their technical bottlenecks and business objectives. You will expertly multithread into accounts, navigating from engineering leads up to C-level executives to assemble the full buying committee.

• Strategic Pipeline Development: This is the core of the role. Generate a consistent, growing flow of qualified opportunities within your defined territory. You will work hand-in-hand with regional Account Executives (AEs) on territory planning and account mapping, running weekly syncs to align on target accounts and ensure your meetings convert to real revenue potential.
• Execute Multi-Touch Cadences: Leverage AI and advanced research to map out the buying committee (from Lead Engineers to VPs of Data and Chief Architects). You break through the noise with highly personalized, multi-touch cadences across cold calls, emails, and Linked In.
• Partner with Marketing & Demand Gen: Collaborate with Field Marketing to capitalize on event follow-ups and targeted campaigns. Engage closely with Demand Generation to action MQLs and AI-scored intent signals, ensuring rigorous qualification so no opportunity slips through the cracks.
• Speak the Prospect's Language: Engage credibly on architecture, latency, scale, throughput, and cost. You will elevate every conversation by translating these deep technical concepts into undeniable business impact.
• Drive Market Intelligence: Facilitate feedback loops with Marketing, Product, and Sales Leadership. Share real-time insights from the field regarding messaging effectiveness, prospect objections, product-market fit, and emerging market trends.
• Maintain Operational Excellence: Drive a high-velocity, account-based outreach strategy. You manage your pipeline with rigor, keeping Salesforce records complete, timely, and accurate, while demonstrating elite professionalism and autonomous ownership over your book of business.

• Proven Technical BDR: 2+ years of outbound pipeline generation experience. Selling into the database, data infrastructure, cloud, or developer tools space is highly preferred, backed by a track record of consistently meeting and exceeding quotas.
• AI-Augmented Operator: You embrace the future of sales. You actively use generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to research accounts faster, scale your personalization, and work smarter than the competition.
• A Genuine Hunter: You know how to capture the attention of a Director, VP of Engineering, or C-level executive. You speak confidently as a peer and advisor, driving authentic, high-value conversations.
• Fearless Communicator: Strong on the phone and exceptionally quick on your feet. You don't freeze at objections; you use curiosity to turn them into the next high-value discovery question.
• Sharp & Strategic Writer: Your outreach is concise,…
