Job description

Status: Hiring

• Business Unit: Sales
• Compensation (OTE): $200k-250k + Meaningful Equity
• Reports To: CEO (Rohit)
• Location: NYC in-person 5 days a week

Overview Hey this is Rohit (CEO/co-founder) writing this. I find most JDs to be quite impersonal and bland. We do things a bit differently here at String. So to start off, I appreciate you for taking the time to read this and for considering us.

We’re building the most comprehensive platform to collect and structure data from the web. Customers ranging from the world’s largest hedge funds to seed-stage startups use String to pull 30M+ rows of structured web data per week (that’s literally 50 rows every second).

We’re generating 7 figures in ARR with no sales people. We have found initial PMF and are now building our sales team to accelerate growth. We’ve done everything so far with a lean engineering team and we recently raised a seed round (unannounced) from leading VCs and angels in our space (Auren Hoffman, Charlie Songhurst, and many more).

Half of our sales so far have come inbound and we haven’t churned a customer. We are known in our niche as the best product and therefore have many financial institutions reaching out to work with us.

We are looking for the right person to join us as our founding AE on this exciting journey! If you want to help build our sales function from the ground up and operate well in unstructured environments, we would love to meet you.

What do we do

Today any business that wants to collect web data has to jump through many hoops:

• Code individual scripts for every website they want to scrape
• Fix all those scripts as websites change, and
