    About this role

    What do we do?Our mission is to radically accelerate the pace of software development by empowering every engineer to ship at the speed their agents write code. We’re building the last piece of the puzzle to enable this - the part that makes it actually safe to ship.AI is enabling engineers to write code faster than ever before. But software review and testing hasn’t caught up.

    Engineering leaders are drowning in long software review cycles and more bugs than ever. The bottleneck isn’t writing code anymore, it’s everything that comes after it.We spent 3 years building patented foundational technology to solve this.

    Our CTO, Quentin, spent over a decade at Palantir, where he led the 0 to 1 of core products that insiders credit as the primary value drivers behind Gotham and Foundry. Since then, we’ve grown 5x year-on-year and now work with top engineering orgs - Notion, ElevenLabs, Mercor, Dropbox, Discord, LaunchDarkly, Wiz, CoreWeave, Wealthsimple, and more.You’ll be joining us at a pivotal time.

    We’ve raised $20m from Chemistry, Menlo and Coatue, the same investors behind Twilio, Twitch, Intercom and PagerDuty and are backed by angels including the founders of Vercel, Datadog, Segment, Dropbox, the CTO of GitHub, CPO of Adobe, head of engineering at Cursor and many more.This is an opportunity to join a company going through hypergrowth as we scale from millions of annual recurring revenue to $100m ARR.If this excites you, come help us build it!What is the opportunity?Join us as a Founding AE hire in London and own the full sales motion end-to-end, from first discovery to strategising pilot deployment to closing the deal.Most AEs work a narrow slice of the stack, repeating the same sales scripts and motion deal after deal and handing off to a sales engineer the moment a conversation turns technical.

    Here, you’ll own the sales cycle from discovery to pilot, then stay on as deployment lead to make sure it actually succeeds. You’ll own technical conversations, building
