Why it matters: OTE tells you what you could earn. Attainment tells you how realistic it is.

Ask: “What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?”

What Sardine sells

One place to stop fraud and money laundering

Businesses that take in money online have to stop fraud and check for money laundering, but the information for those checks often sits in separate tools. Sardine brings that information together so fraud can be stopped in real time. Risk teams get one clear picture instead of piecing it together themselves.

Base is listed but not OTE. Ask what the variable is and how many people hit it.
Transparency
Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
Pipeline
Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.
Time on market
Open 8 days.
Company hiring
8 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace.

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. 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. 2.

    What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?

    Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.

  3. 3.

    Has the comp plan changed in the last 12 to 18 months? What changed?

    A plan that changes every year means the goalposts keep moving.

  4. 4.

    Who sits with reps and reviews calls each week?

    Coaching is often what's behind a good or bad attainment number.

  5. 5.

    What's the OTE, and what did the median rep earn last year?

    Base is what you're guaranteed. OTE and the median show the upside.

  6. 6.

    Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?

    New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

  1. 1.

    Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?

    What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.

  2. 2.

    Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?

    The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.

  3. 3.

    I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?

    Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.

Full posting
Who we are: Sardine is the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime. Our integrated solution unifies data across risk teams to help organizations stop fraud in real time, prevent AI-driven attacks, and automate fraud and AML operations. Sardine’s platform is strengthened by one of the fastest-growing fraud consortiums in the market, spanning more than 6 billion profiled devices, 800 million consumers, and 3 million businesses worldwide. Leading companies including FIS, GoDaddy, Intuit, Edward Jones, ZoomInfo, and Checkout.com rely on Sardine to secure and grow trust in their products. Our culture: - We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation. - We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule. - We're a remote-first team spread across time zones, so no office to report to - work from wherever helps you do your best work. Just a couple of things to keep in mind: pay is based on where you're located, and you'll need to keep a home base in the country you're hired in. So while we love the "coffee shop today, mountains tomorrow" life, this isn't a passport-optional, work-from-anywhere-on-Earth kind of remote - think flexible within your country, not borderless.

What you’ll need : - 2+ years of experience in an enterprise BDR role, preferably within the fraud, risk, or compliance space, or experience in consulting or financial investment. - Strong work ethic and discipline, with a demonstrated history of putting in the hard work to exceed quota and owning outcomes rather than just activities. - Proficiency in outbound sales processes and sales tools (e.g., Salesforce, Sales Navigator, and ZoomInfo). - Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment while staying organized, process-oriented, and accountable to goals. - Highly motivated and hungry for success, with a track record of creating opportunities through both traditional outbound and modern LinkedIn-based social selling. - Creative problem-solver with the ability to find innovative ways to break into top accounts and build multi-threaded relationships with key decision-makers. - Excellent time management, communication skills (both written and verbal), and interpersonal abilities, with a focus on building long-term relationships the right way, not just transactional outreach. - Process-oriented mindset with a track record in prospecting and scheduling meetings with potential clients across complex enterprises. - Willingness to travel (10–20%) for conferences and industry events.
