Our primary goal is to create the next generation of Gen AI-driven code reviewers: a symbiotic partnership between humans and advanced algorithms that significantly outperforms individual engineers. We combine language models with human ingenuity to push the boundaries of software development efficiency and quality.

Role Overview

• Conduct initial discovery conversations to understand customer pain points and determine fit with CodeRabbit’s solutions
• Become fluent in CodeRabbit’s product and value proposition to effectively engage technical and business stakeholders
• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Leadership to refine messaging, outreach strategies, and qualification criteria
• Maintain an organized pipeline in the CRM and consistently achieve weekly and monthly activity goals
• Share learnings and insights from prospect conversations with internal teams to help refine our GTM motion

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• 1–3 years of experience in a sales, business development, or customer-facing role (SaaS/PLG/tech preferred)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to both technical and non-technical audiences
• A curious and empathetic approach to understanding customer challenges and aligning them with CodeRabbit’s value
• A self-starter mentality: comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment and motivated to exceed goals
• Grit, resilience, and persistence when it comes to outbound prospecting and building relationships
• An eagerness to learn, adapt, and grow within a rapidly scaling GTM team

Bonus:

• Familiarity with developer tools, AI, or open source ecosystems
• Experience in a Product Led Growth (PLG) environment
• Proficiency with sales engagement tools and CRMs

What We Offer

1. Work on cutting-edge technology with real-world impact
2. Collaborative and innovative environment
3. Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
