We are looking for a Founding Account Executive with 3-7 years of experience to help build Raindrop's sales motion from the ground up. Raindrop is the monitoring platform for AI agents — think "Sentry for AI" — and we're growing so fast that inbound is coming in quicker than we can handle it. You'll sell a deeply technical product to AI engineers, engineering leaders, CTOs, and founders, owning the full sales cycle from outbound through close. You don't need to be an engineer, but you must be able to speak the language credibly and build genuine trust with technical buyers. This is a rare opportunity to join a 13-person team backed by Lightspeed ($15M seed) and shape how a new category of software goes to market.
What will you be doing?
Owning the full sales cycle — outbound prospecting, discovery, technical evaluation, procurement, negotiation, and close
Handling a massive influx of inbound leads while also building repeatable outbound processes
Running sharp discovery with AI engineers, CTOs, and technical founders to uncover pain and business urgency
Partnering closely with Raindrop's founders and engineers during technical evaluations and pilots
Turning patterns from customer conversations into product, positioning, and go-to-market insights that shape the company's future
Raindrop is the observability platform for AI agents — think Sentry or Datadog, but purpose-built for the unique challenges of AI systems in production. Engineering teams at Fortune 100 companies and leading AI companies including Vercel, Speak, and Clay use Raindrop to detect silent failures, hallucinations, and misbehaviors in their AI agents.
Unlike traditional software that throws exceptions, AI agents often fail silently, leaving engineering teams with little visibility into how their systems are actually performing. Raindrop learns the unique shape of each AI agent's issues, sends alerts when something goes wrong, and links straight to the underlying conversations and traces so teams can understand root causes and fix them fast.
Backed by Lightspeed with a $15M seed round, along with investors including Figma Ventures, Vercel Ventures, and prominent founders from Replit, Cognition, Framer, Notion, and Speak. Founded in 2023 and part of Y Combinator, Raindrop is defining a new category of software at the intersection of AI and observability.
The team operates out of their North Beach, San Francisco office with an intense, high-energy culture. The company is growing rapidly with inbound demand outpacing their ability to handle it, and they're actively building out their go-to-market team to match.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
