Sales Development Representative - San Francisco

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.

• 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
