About ProdE
ProdE is the product brain for AI-native software teams. We turn codebases into docs, answers, and specs that AI agents can execute. Technical buyers rave about it (we outscored Claude Code by 40% on AI codebase documentation benchmarks) and we're building the go-to-market motion to match.
The role
You own the full cycle (prospect, discover, demo, pilot, negotiate, close) selling to technical leaders (CTOs, CPOs, CTPOs, VPs of Engineering and Product) at fast-moving software companies.
You'll run a high-velocity, pilot-led motion: get teams into a paid pilot fast, prove value inside four weeks, convert to paid. Speed and conversion are the game, not six-month enterprise sieges. This is an individual-contributor closing role on a small team, where your work compounds fast and the playbook is still being written.
What you'll do
- Own the full cycle end to end: outbound, discovery, demo, pilot, negotiation, close.
- Run a high-velocity, pilot-to-paid motion. Land teams in a paid pilot quickly, drive it to a clear success criterion, convert to an annual contract.
- Self-source pipeline: cold call, cold email, work conferences, and convert inbound pilot interest. AI tooling welcome, human touch required.
- Help build the playbook with the co-founders so the team can run on it.
- Run a modern stack: HubSpot, Outreach, Apollo, Clay, Gong.
- Travel for conferences and key customer meetings across India when needed. Be effective remote by default.
What we're looking for
- 3+ years closing full-cycle B2B SaaS. Closing, not BD or SDR.
- You've sold dev, product, or security tooling: Linear, Jira, Confluence, Sourcegraph, Cursor for Business, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, LinearB, Jellyfish, Snyk, or similar.
- You thrive in a fast, high-volume motion and know how to keep deals moving. You shorten the cycle when the signal is there, and walk away when it isn't.
- Cold calling is part of the job. You don't outsource it.
- Comfortable with software. Microservices, CI/CD, code review, and agent reliability aren't foreign words.
- You live in the AI space (agents, LLMs, evals, the major model labs) and can hold your own with a technical CTO. That's the level of conversation our buyers expect.
- High agency, honest in deals. You figure things out without a playbook and walk away from bad fits.
- Hungry and high-ownership: you want to help build the motion, not inherit a finished one.
- India-based and near a major metro so you can meet customers in person. Bangalore is a plus.
Nice to have
- An existing network of India engineering and product leaders.
- Sales experience at an early-stage startup.
- Heavy hands-on use of Clay, Apollo, Outreach, Gong, HubSpot.
- Active LinkedIn presence.
- Appetite to grow as we scale the team.
Who you'll work with
You'll work with us, the co-founders, every day. Abhishek (CEO) led AI Agents at Leena AI (YC S18), growing it from $100K to $10M ARR. Nilesh (COO) was a Director at a Series B company selling into large enterprises. IIT Delhi and CMU. We join demos with you, in the trenches with you.
Compensation
Competitive base + uncapped commission tied to quota + meaningful equity. We'll walk you through the full structure (base/variable split and quota included) on our first call. No surprises.
How we hire
A fast process built to respect your time: an intro with a co-founder, a working session (expect a mock discovery call), and a final conversation. We move quickly for the right person.
