Sales role focused on founding sales development at Oodle.ai, an AI-native observability platform.
Responsibilities
- We’re hiring a Founding SDR to build our outbound engine from scratch.
- This is for someone who has done early-stage startup selling before (ideally infra/devtools), sells well to technical buyers, and brings real hunger + high energy .
Conditions
- Competitive base + uncapped commission
- Meaningful equity (early team)
- Path to AE / Founding GTM / SDR Lead as we scale
- Unlimited PTO
- Top tier health, medical, and dental benefits
- Meaningful equity ownership
- Stunning colleagues
Other
- Location: US ( 2540 N 1st Street, San Jose, CA) Type: Full-time Reports to: CEO (initially)
- Oodle’s mission is to build an iconic observability company! Oodle.ai is an AI-native observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces—debugged in plain English. Under the hood, it’s powered by a modern serverless, S3-native architecture that’s radically simpler and 3–5× cheaper than legacy observability stacks. It's a drop-in replacement for Grafana, Elastic, and Datadog with 1-click migration. Customers include unicorns, and public companies: Lookout, Zaggle, CureFit, and Fuel Labs.
- The founders are serial entrepreneurs (ex-Rubrik, AWS, YC, and IIT Alumni) who have built world class teams over the last decade. They lived through observability pain points for 8+ years - both as a buyer at a high scale company for 4.5 years (Rubrik) and as a company builder selling to the same buyer (4+ years at YC Startup ). Our team has built and launched world-class products like Rubrik Security Cloud , AWS S3, DynamoDB, and Snowhouse at Snowflake. The team has not only co-founded startups but also understands how to scale them. We are backed by Engineering Capital, Pear VC, and SNR VC ( 2025's best early stage investor ).
- We’re winning customers who are tired of:
- Datadog cost blowups
- Elastic/OpenSearch operational overhead
- Grafana/Loki scaling ceilings
- Slow incident resolution
- Prospect into SRE, DevOps, Platform, Infra, VP Eng
- Run high-volume outbound across email, LinkedIn, and calls
- Book qualified meetings and generate real pipeline
- Learn the product deeply and improve messaging weekly
- Build sequences, talk tracks, and a repeatable SDR playbook
- Partner directly with the CEO + founding team
- You’ll do well here if you have:
- Early-stage startup experience (Seed/Series A)
- Experience selling infra/devtools to technical buyers
- Entrepreneurial (has desire to start a company one day)
- Strong outbound fundamentals + high activity
- High ownership, urgency, and consistency
- Comfortable coming to office 5 days / week (occasional travel)
- The ability to learn fast, iterate, and bounce back quickly
- This role is not for someone who:
- Expects to be told what to do every day
- Needs a perfectly defined process before executing
- Can’t handle ambiguity, change, or intensity
- This role is for someone who is entrepreneurial and wants to help build a foundational company — the kind of platform that becomes an industry default. If you want to be part of creating something in the league of Snowflake, Databricks, Rubrik (category-defining infrastructure), you’ll thrive here.
- Consistent meetings/week with ICP-fit accounts
- Strong outbound motion that improves weekly
- Clear learnings on personas, industries, and messaging
- A repeatable playbook we can scale with future hires
