What we do

We help US startups hire exceptional remote engineers from Latin America — faster and more cost-effectively than domestic hiring. We handle sourcing, vetting, and placement. Our clients get senior-level technical talent without the overhead.

It’s a relationship business. The quality of our placements is our product.

The role

We’re hiring our first dedicated AE. Right now, revenue comes from the founders. Your job is to change that — to build a repeatable pipeline from scratch and close new client retainers independently.

You’ll figure out what channels work for us: whether that’s showing up in startup communities, building referral partnerships with VCs or accelerators, working your own network, or finding a digital motion that scales. You’ll run the full sales cycle yourself — first call to signed contract — and document what works so we can eventually build a team around it.

This is a high-autonomy role with direct access to leadership. The way you sell will shape how this company sells.

What you’ll actually do
  • Build and own a pipeline of US-based startup and scaleup clients from zero
  • Prospect through community, network, partnerships (VCs, accelerators, founder communities), events, and outbound — you decide the mix
  • Run discovery calls, qualify needs, and match clients to the right engineering profiles
  • Close retainer agreements and manage the handoff to delivery
  • Identify partnership channels that generate compounding referrals over time
  • Hit a minimum quota per month; grow from there
Background that sets you up for this
  • 3–6 years in a quota‑carrying sales role, staffing, recruiting, nearshore/offshore services, or B2B SaaS selling to technical buyers all transfer well
  • You’ve generated your own pipeline before, you’re not starting from a warm inbound queue
  • You’re comfortable selling a service where trust and credibility matter more than a polished deck
  • You know how to have a real conversation with a startup CTO, VP of Engineering, or founder
  • Agency or professional services experience is a genuine plus, you understand how retainer relationships work
What we offer
  • Salary: Base + commission. OTE $220,000–$260,000 at quota
  • Equity: possible for the right candidate
  • Location: New York City, hybrid
  • Expenses: events, travel, tools — covered
