Tech Lead

Rebuilding a company for the AI era.

At Teachable, we power hundreds of millions of dollars a year in creator sales, and we are in the middle of rebuilding how this company goes to market; from the ground up, with AI in the stack from day one.

That means the sales motion you are joining is being written right now. We are instrumenting the funnel from zero, building signal-driven prospecting on top of AI tooling, and replacing manual research and hand-typed email with systems.

You would be one of a small number of people whose fingerprints end up on all of it.

Most sellers never get this shot. You either join a startup with no product and no customers, or a large company where the playbook was frozen five years before you arrived.

This is the rare third thing: a real business at real scale, with a product people already love, being rebuilt in public.

Teachable is a platform for creators who want to build a more impactful business through courses, coaching, downloadable content, and community. With Teachable, creators can engage their online audiences and get paid-on their own terms. Today, tens of thousands of creators use Teachable to share their knowledge and, to date, have reached more than 46 million students around the world.

Are you ready to join a dynamic, cross-cultural team at an exciting turning point in our company’s journey? Now part of the global Hotmart Company portfolio, Teachable continues to take the creator economy by storm as a true industry leader. Together, Teachable and Hotmart are delivering market-leading products that prioritize creator control and flexibility, alongside meaningful partnership and support from our team. If you have big ideas, relish the chance to challenge convention, and deeply believe in the power of creators to shape the future, we want you on our team!
