Founding SDR - SF Bay Area (Onsite only)

FOUNDING SDR (SALES DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTATIVE) Location: US (2540 N 1st Street, San Jose, CA) https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2540-N-1st-St-San-Jose-CA/8201390/ Type: Full-time Reports to: CEO (initially) ABOUT OODLE.AI http://Oodle.ai Oodle’s mission is to build an iconic observability company! Oodle.ai http://Oodle.ai is an AI-native observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces—debugged in plain English. Under the hood, it’s powered by a modern serverless, S3-native architecture that’s radically simpler and 3–5× cheaper than legacy observability stacks. It's a drop-in replacement for Grafana, Elastic, and Datadog with 1-click migration. Customers include unicorns, and public companies: Lookout, Zaggle, CureFit, and Fuel Labs. The founders https://www.linkedin.com/company/oodle-ai/people/ are serial entrepreneurs (ex-Rubrik, AWS, YC, and IIT Alumni) who have built world class teams over the last decade. They lived through observability pain points for 8+ years • both as a buyer at a high scale company for 4.5 years (Rubrik) and as a company builder selling to the same buyer (4+ years at YC Startup https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/neptune-io). Our team has built and launched world-class products like Rubrik Security Cloud https://www.rubrik.com/blog/architecture/22/3/choosing-the-right-metadata-store, AWS S3, DynamoDB, and Snowhouse at Snowflake. The team has not only co-founded startups but also understands how to scale them. We are backed by Engineering Capital, Pear VC, and SNR VC (2025's best early stage investor https://www.businessinsider.com/seed-100-best-early-stage-vc-investors-2025-5). We’re winning customers who are tired of: • Datadog cost blowups • Elastic/OpenSearch operational overhead • Grafana/Loki scaling ceilings • Slow incident resolution THE ROLE We’re hiring a Founding SDR to build our outbound engine from scratch.
