Founding Account Executive @ String

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!

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

We solve all of these problems for them so that they never have to worry about scraping. Thus, we 1) significantly improve their end products driving millions in revenue and 2) save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in engineering costs.

Our end customers use our product to

Building this would have been impossible before the AI revolution. We have a unique opportunity to build the first platform where anyone can collect structured data across any website with just a prompt. And we’re excited to be at the forefront of solving this problem for our customers.

It’s not often that a startup is hiring their first sales person after hitting 7 figures in ARR when they’re in the initial stages of PMF. And we haven’t yet churned a customer. For the right person, this will be an opportunity for immense career growth both to own responsibility beyond the typical AE role and to move into managing other sales people much faster than otherwise possible.

This role will transform your career and give you the badge to go on to whatever you want to do next. We believe you’ll have the skills to be a 10x asset to any startup you join in the future - the type of person that hot startups want to bring in as their first VP of sales.

We’ve also structured our compensation to be higher than market rate and to include accelerants and equity to ensure we get the best talent. Other benefits include:

Feel free to read through our team values to see if working with us will be a good fit for you. If you get excited from reading the values page, it’s likely a good fit and vice versa.
