The job

What you'd do

Team up with the sales team to give technical demos and help close deals with software engineers and product managers at companies from startups to very large ones in the Central region.

What you'd sell

Helps companies catch and fix mistakes their AI makes

When a company runs AI that handles tasks on its own, it has to watch how the AI behaves with real customers. The problem is, the AI can go wrong in ways nobody sees until customers complain. Braintrust finds the patterns that matter in how the AI works and gives teams tools to fix them, so problems get caught early.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

1.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
2.
What are the base and the OTE for this role?
No point investing hours before you know the number.
3.
What's the annual quota, and how was it set?
A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.
4.
Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?
Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.
5.
How long is ramp, and what's the quota during it?
Full quota on day one means you start behind.

Why I built it this way ↓

Most résumé tools try to make you look like a match. I'd rather help you find out if you are one.

Nothing made up.
Nothing goes on your résumé that you didn't do. If a line would need a number you didn't give me, I ask. I don't guess. On Braun Board it's checked in code, not just promised.
Curiosity before conclusions.
If the job wants something your résumé doesn't show, I ask before I assume. Plenty of sellers have done the thing and just never wrote it down.
Sorting, not selling.
Some jobs won't line up with what you've done. Finding that out before you apply isn't a loss. It's an hour back, spent on a job that fits.
No score.
A match score tells you how well you copied their words. It doesn't tell you whether you'd be good at the job, or happy there.

It's the same way I teach selling. We don't control who says yes. We do control where we spend our time, and whether everything we say is true.
