Why Candidates Should Join

• First GTM hire: Founding SDR building the pipeline engine and outbound playbook from scratch, in the trenches with the founders.

The Role

Bluejay is hiring its first Founding SDR to build the pipeline engine behind the company's revenue motion from scratch — a quota-carrying, outbound-first role selling to the technical buyers who build and deploy conversational AI agents. Success is measured by qualified meetings booked, not activity counts.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and run multi-channel outbound across email, LinkedIn, calls, and events targeting AI engineers and founders deploying conversational agents
• Research and qualify target accounts, running sharp discovery conversations to identify fit and intent
• Book 10–20 qualified meetings per month and hand them off cleanly to the founding team
• Build lead lists and semi-automated outbound workflows using AI-native enrichment and sequencing tools
• Treat outbound like a product: test, measure, and iterate across channels and messaging
• Work conferences and in-person events alongside the founders to generate pipeline

Tech stack: AI-native enrichment and outbound/sequencing tooling (specific stack not listed on the role page)

Requirements

• 1+ year outbound SDR experience, quota-carrying
• AI-native workflows required
• 10 to 20 qualified meetings booked per month quota
• Technical buyer sales: AI engineers, founders, dev-tool buyers
• SF in-person, 5 days per week

Green Flags

• AI-native in daily workflows
• Experience selling to technical buyers
• Scrappy, early-stage startup experience

Red Flags

• Job hopping: three jobs in three years
• Not AI-native in workflows
