<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.sievedata.com/">Sieve</a> is an AI compute platform for video. Our goal is to build useful primitives to understand, manipulate, and create video so we can accelerate all applications of it.Today, video makes up over <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.socialpilot.co/blog/video-marketing-statistics">82% of internet traffic</a> and every application of it is growing extremely quickly — media, communications, VR, gaming, robotics, automotive, etc. TikTok went from 0 → 2B users in the last decade. Video conferencing is used many times a day by every knowledge worker. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://deepmind.google/technologies/veo/veo-2/">Google’s Veo 2 model</a> generates physically realistic video. Waymo now has <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thedriverlessdigest.com/p/waymos-market-share-is-now-equal">more market share than Lyft</a> in SF ride share. Tesla is scaling humanoid robots.As these applications grow, the need to process video grows too. But unlike other data types, video is complex, and applications of it require purpose-built pipelines to tackle specific problems. Some examples:<ul><li>Translating videos with perfect voice timing + intonation and on-screen text manipulation</li><li>Tracking which person is actively speaking in a video</li><li>Collecting &amp; cleaning millions of highly emotive talk head video for foundation model training</li><li>Tracking eye gaze and exact emotion of people as they react</li><li>Separating the foreground and background of a high-motion video clip</li><li>Finding all the most interesting plays in a sports game recording</li></ul>At Sieve, we engineer production-grade pipelines to understand, manipulate, and create video — along with flexible abstractions to run custom pipelines. These pipelines already power core features in some of the most popular creative and social video platforms in the world, and are also helping research teams collect &amp; annotate large datasets to train better video models.Why developers use SieveThe unique complexity of video requires both R&amp;D and infrastructure that is intricate, expensive, and time-consuming to build in-house. Sieve comes with a set of production-grade pipelines engineering teams don’t need to worry about building or maintaining, along with infrastructure abstractions that make it easy to develop increasingly complex and specific video processing tasks on top.

Sieve is the AI developer platform for video. We build & manage production-grade pipelines that can understand, manipulate, and create it for a variety of applications. These pipelines serve as useful primitives which developers can then use to power their applications across industries like communications, social, media, robotics, and VR.

About the role
tl;dr: we’re hiring our first Sales role. You will work with our CEO/co-founder to grow Agave from $Xm ARR to $XXm ARR+. Ideally, you are a hungry, scrappy, and energetic AE, pumped to bet on a career-defining role at a fast-growing, early-stage startup. Min. 2+ YoE closing deals in a quota-carrying role at a b2b SaaS company, ideally with experience selling into construction. More details here (link).

ROLE
We’ve made a ton of progress through founder-led sales (140+ customers, seven-figures ARR, cash-flow positive). Now, we’re seeking the right person to help us grow even faster.
You’ll own the day to day execution of our full sales cycle while working with our CEO/co-founder on all aspects of revenue - from defining ICPs and GTM strategy, to pricing details and contract terms. You’ll be the expert on our customers’ needs - our CTO and CPO will ask for your input when planning sprints and new features.
We expect you to ramp fast since you’re stepping-into a sales motion that’s working well. You’ll have an existing pipeline, refined collateral, meeting templates, a tidy CRM, and SMEs to run demos and answer domain-specific nuances. You’ll have strong inbound and referrals, which you’ll continue to convert at a high rate. You’ll build our outbound motion as we expand our product and enter new segments in construction.
To do all of this, you will need to be unique. While typical AEs execute existing playbooks, you will need to write a better one. You are not a coin-operated salesperson looking for a 9-to-5. You are a hungry, scrappy, and energetic AE, pumped to bet on a career-defining role at a fast-growing, early-stage startup. Your potential for impact will extend far beyond the ARR you close.
COMPENSATION
We want AEs eager to bet on themselves and the company, motivated by the upside in the role.
Compensation shown consists of base + commission (OTE), with meaningful equity.
Nothing makes our founders happier than writing fat commission checks for well-qualified customers we retain. We ring gongs for each deal.
WHY JOIN US
Opportunity: you have the chance to be an early, pivotal member of a fast-growing YC startup modernizing one of the world's largest and most critical industries (construction). You'll work with our world-class engineers to deliver and expand our core product.
Team: you'll work with a formidable founding team that's experienced, intense, and ambitious. We've worked together for 10 years, first at a startup that Amazon acquired, then at Amazon, and now at Agave. You'll learn a ton while having outsized ownership. You’ll have a front-row seat to the good, bad, and ugly of building a company from the ground up.
Timing: you're joining at a key inflection point. We're proven (4x revenue growth YoY, 140+ customers) but also early. This means you have lower risk but also huge upside.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Your core role is to help construction general/trade contractors automate work through software integration, saving time and grow their company more profitably. To do this, you will own our end-to-end sales process, including:
Lead gen + prospecting: research potential customers, generate leads, and build a consistent outbound sales pipeline. Attend industry events and develop connections to drive future sales growth.
Outreach + engagement: contact leads via email, cold calls, job-site visits, conferences, and more. Manage inbound and referral leads shared by external partners who co-sell with us.
Qualification + closing: run discovery calls, demos (with our technical SME experts), and follow-ups to qualify close new customers. Build proposals and RoI cases that convince qualified prospects to buy Agave. Negotiate contract terms when needed.
Process improvement: improve our internal sales processes (slides, call scripts, meeting templates, contract terms, CRM workflows, metrics, dashboards, etc.). Run weekly “Sales Review” meetings company-wide to review deals and answer questions.
Cross-team work: work with Customer Success, Engineering, and Product to consistently delight customers. Work with our co-founding team on all things sales and revenue related.
This is a unique role with potential to expand into a Sales leadership position quickly as we grow, reporting directly into the CEO.
REQUIREMENTS
Hard requirements:
2+ years of sales experience: 2+ YoE closing deals in a quota-carrying role at a b2b SaaS company. You understand the collaboration, process, and tenacity required to close 5-6 figure b2B SaaS contracts.
Construction sales experience: experience selling software into the construction industry with a track record of success.
Prior sales success: strong record evidenced by quota attainment, customer retention, and manager feedback.
In-person: pumped to work in-person in SF 5 days per week with our team.
Soft requirements:
Hands-on: you have been a successful IC and want to continue being one. You must love operating in the messy weeds of finding prospects and closing them. You do not want to be an armchair expert.
Owner mindset: you are self-directed and able to work with minimal supervision. We can trust you to disqualify poor-fit customers instead of signing them. Where there’s a gap, you fill it without asking.
Clear + persuasive communication: you love writing crisp follow-up emails to customers and articulating compelling counterpoints to their hesitations.
Strong EQ: you know when to listen and when to sell. You are attuned to social signals, especially on Zoom.
Uncanny ability to deliver results: you get the job done consistently, doing any task needed to deliver on time. You're gritty and not easily discouraged.
Product curiosity: you are curious about how our product works, and act to understand it in more detail than is typical for a salesperson.
Nice to have:
Experience at a startup, ideally Series B/C or earlier.
Familiarity with accounting concepts and nuances.
BENEFITS
Healthcare: we cover 90% of your healthcare costs with several plan options.
401k: we match 100% of your contributions, up to 4% of annual salary.
Relocation: sizable relocation bonus for folks currently located outside of the Bay Area.
Gym: on-site gym with Peloton, squat rack, Tempo, Yoga setup, and more.
Visa: we sponsor Visas (H1B, TN, etc.) for candidates who are a good fit!
IN-PERSON
We've built Agave in-person since day 1, and will maintain an in-person culture in San Francisco going forward. We form tighter bonds, build a stronger culture, and move faster since we're all working from one location. Our office is just west of Twin Peaks, 1 block from a bus stop, 10min walk from a BART station, and a 5min drive off the 101 and 280. Our entire team commutes here every day. We believe building in-person is a huge strategic advantage, and we hope you’ll join us.

(Depends on your background)
On-site (60min. x 5 people) [In-Person in SF, we pay for travel]: you'll interview with each co-founder and our lead dev. This will be a deeper dive into your experience, sales fluency, and overall fit. Each interview is 1hr, 45min for our questions and 15min for yours.
