Teams securely connect their company data, build on our open-source Python framework, and deploy applications to their users.\nOur customers use Reflex to modernize legacy software, build operational tools, and turn company data into applications their teams use every day.\nWe’re hiring a Founding SDR to help turn that demand into qualified enterprise conversations. You’ll work directly with our CEO and founding Account Executive, with meaningful ownership and room to grow as we build the sales team.\nReflex’s last funding round valued the company at nine figures.\nOur founders and team\nReflex was founded by Alek Petuskey and Nikhil Rao with a simple goal: make it easier to build web apps in Python. An internal experiment grew into an open-source framework that now powers over a million applications. Today, we’re bringing that foundation to enterprises so teams can build, deploy, and manage critical applications in one place.\nOur founding team includes open-source maintainers, IOI medalists, and people who helped build developer-tool unicorns from their early days. We build in the open and use feedback from our community to shape the product. As our Founding SDR, you’ll work closely with the founders and sales team to turn this adoption into enterprise relationships.\nThe role\nYou’ll execute and improve our enterprise prospecting process: research accounts, identify the right people, start conversations, and follow through until qualified prospects meet with our team.\nOur founders and sales team will provide the target customer profile, initial account priorities, messaging, and qualification criteria. You’ll own consistent execution and bring back insights that help us improve the approach.\nYour prospects will come from inbound interest in our open-source framework and free product, conferences and executive events, referrals, and target account lists developed with the team.\nThis is a full-time, fully in-person role at our San Francisco office.\nCompensation\nBase salary: $90,000-$110,000 per year. On-target earnings (OTE): $200,000 per year, including base salary and variable compensation at target performance. Equity: 0.1%.\nWhat you’ll do\nRun daily prospecting through cold calls, email, and LinkedIn.\nResearch target accounts and identify business, operations, IT, and data leaders with relevant needs.\nFollow up promptly with inbound prospects, event contacts, and referrals.\nQualify interest against clear criteria and book meetings with our sales team.\nOwn scheduling, reminders, and rescheduling so booked meetings actually happen.\nKeep contact history, outcomes, and next steps accurate in our CRM.\nTrack activity and conversion, share what prospects are saying, and test improvements with the team.\nUse AI and sales tools to accelerate research and execution while keeping outreach accurate and personal.\nWhat we’re looking for\nAround two years of SDR, BDR, or comparable outbound prospecting experience.\nA track record of consistent execution and qualified meeting generation.\nComfort picking up the phone and starting conversations with senior business leaders.\nClear, concise writing and the curiosity to ask good questions.\nStrong organization and follow-through across multiple prospects and conversations.\nExperience using a CRM and working within a defined sales process.\nCoachability, persistence, and a willingness to learn from results.\nSomeone who enjoys prospecting and wants to become excellent at sales development.\nExperience selling B2B software is helpful. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you should be interested in AI and comfortable learning how customers use software to solve business problems.\nYour first 30, 60, and 90 days\nFirst 30 days: Learn the product, customer use cases, and qualification criteria with the founders and founding Account Executive. Shadow sales conversations, practice the pitch, research your initial accounts, and launch your first outreach sequence with feedback from the team.\n\nBy 60 days: Own daily prospecting and follow-up for your assigned accounts and inbound leads. Run outreach across phone, email, and LinkedIn; qualify conversations; and manage meeting handoffs with clear CRM notes. Review replies, attendance, and opportunity conversion with the team to identify what is working.\n\nBy 90 days: Own a repeatable campaign for an agreed customer segment. Document the messaging, objections, follow-up steps, and qualification signals that generate useful conversations. Bring a results-based recommendation for the next campaign and a playbook a future SDR can use.\n\nWe’ll agree on activity and qualified-meeting targets during onboarding and adjust them as we learn from actual conversion data.\nHow we’ll measure success\nYour primary outcomes are qualified meetings that happen and progress into real sales opportunities.\nWe’ll set clear ramp expectations and review outreach activity, replies, meeting attendance, and opportunity conversion together. You’ll know what success looks like and receive direct coaching from the founders and sales team.\nOwnership and growth\nYou’ll help establish the habits and processes that future SDRs use as the team grows.\nAs you demonstrate results, you’ll have room to own campaigns and customer segments, improve our messaging and prospecting process, and help onboard future teammates. Your conversations will directly inform how we understand customers and bring Reflex to market.\nIf you want to work closely with founders, see the impact of your work, and earn increasing responsibility in an early sales organization, we’d love to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5685,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Custom Software Development","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-09T00:29:02Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-25T22:54:22Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-09-29T01:35:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.473,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":55,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/reflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/reflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T00:23:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":510,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2675},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2675"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Freflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Freflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Freflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/reflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Freflex-founding-sales-development-representative-sdr"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":557913}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"reflex.dev","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":557913},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
