Senior Business Development Representative - Enterprise

Artie Business Development Representative

Artie is a real-time streaming platform that moves production data across systems in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI workloads. Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity — and we're growing fast.

We're trusted by teams like Click Up, Substack, and Alloy, and backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight Ventures, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.

We're hiring our first Business Development Representative to build pipeline for our early sales motion. This is a ground-floor seat: you'll help define how Artie prospects, qualifies, and opens conversations with data and engineering leaders, working directly with our founders and go-to-market lead rather than through layers of management or a scripted playbook someone else wrote. It's a strong fit for someone early in their sales career who wants outsized ownership and a fast path into technical, solution-based selling.

• Generate qualified pipeline through outbound prospecting into target accounts: data engineering teams, data platform/infra, and AI-driven companies wrestling with stale or brittle data pipelines
• Research accounts, industries, and personas to craft outreach that's actually personalized, not templated
• Prospect and qualify inbound interest, quickly separating real buying signals (someone hitting the wall on Fivetran batch latency, DMS reliability, or a homegrown Debezium/Kafka setup) from noise
• Run multi-channel outbound campaigns across email, cold calls, Linked In, and video, sequencing that respects a technical buyer's time
• Conduct discovery conversations to uncover technical pain points and initiatives, learning enough about change data capture, logical replication nuances across different databases, and schema evolution to have a credible first conversation with a data engineer or CTO
• Engage data, engineering, and executive personas, then hand off warm, well-qualified meetings
• Be the first impression of Artie for prospective customers evaluating us against Fivetran, AWS DMS, Debezium, and Confluent
• Work directly with founders and the GTM lead to shape territory strategy and pipeline process as the team scales. What you build now becomes how the next ten reps work
• Consistently hit or exceed activity, meeting-generation, and pipeline targets

• 1–2+ years of experience in SaaS, cloud, infrastructure, or technology sales development (strong new grads with clear sales aptitude will also be considered)
• Genuine curiosity about data infrastructure, AI, and technical products, and comfort developing an understanding in concepts like CDC, Kafka offsets, and exactly-once delivery, not just software terminology in general
• Strong, direct written and verbal communication. You can write a cold email a data engineer will actually read
• A track record of consistent, measurable over-achievement against goals or quotas
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple accounts and priorities at once
• High ownership and grit: comfortable with the ambiguity of an early-stage startup, where process is something you help build, not something handed to you
• Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco; this is an in-person role

• Experience selling into data, engineering, or IT organizations
• Familiarity with the modern data stack:
  Snowflake, Databricks, Big Query, dbt, Postgres, or Kafka/Debezium-style pipelines
• Comfortable using AI tools (Claude and similar) or sales engagement platforms to sharpen research, messaging, and productivity
• Previous experience in a high-growth, early-stage startup environment
