Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.
As a Sales Development Representative at SpaceXAI, you'll be the tip of the spear for pipeline generation, the first voice a prospective customer hears, and the person who earns their attention before an Account Executive ever gets on a call. You'll work across the full range of our commercial segments, from fast-moving startups to mid-market engineering organizations, identifying the right buyers and creating the conditions for meaningful sales conversations.
This isn't a role for someone who waits for leads to come in. You'll build pipeline from scratch, learn how great engineering teams think, and develop a deep understanding of how Cursor transforms developer productivity. It's the fastest way to learn enterprise sales at one of the most exciting companies in AI.
What you'll do
Generate qualified pipeline for our Account Executive team through high-volume outbound prospecting, including cold calls, personalized emails, LinkedIn, and creative multi-channel sequences
Research target accounts and map stakeholders across Engineering, Product, and Leadership to identify the right entry points
Conduct discovery conversations that go beyond surface-level qualification, understand how development teams work, what's slowing them down, and where Cursor fits
Partner closely with AEs to develop account strategies, hand off opportunities cleanly, and stay looped in as deals progress
Hit and exceed weekly activity targets and monthly qualified meeting goals
Represent SpaceXAI's brand and product with conviction; you'll be many prospects' first impression of the company
Bring market intelligence back to the team: what resonates, what objections are coming up, what messaging is landing
Help build the playbook. As an early SDR, your patterns and learnings will shape how this function scales
You may be a fit if
You have 1–2 years of experience in a sales, customer-facing, or business development role. SDR/BDR experience at a SaaS or developer tools company is a strong plus
You're a relentless self-starter who takes ownership of your pipeline and doesn't wait to be handed leads
You write and speak with clarity. You can explain a complex product simply and tailor your message to a technical audience
You're curious about how software gets built and excited by the idea that AI is fundamentally changing the craft
You're organized and data-driven: you track your activity, learn from your numbers, and iterate quickly
You have thick skin and genuine resilience. You don't take rejection personally and you bounce back fast
You want to grow into an Account Executive role and are willing to put in the reps to get there
