Job description
ABOUT WHITE CIRCLE
White Circle https://whitecircle.ai/ is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.
- We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others
- We process over 100M+ API calls every month
- We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model
We’re at a multi-million dollar run rate already having signed customers like Lovable and multiple neobanks. You’ll be joining at the most exciting time - early enough that the equity can be life changing but at a point where demand has been proven.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the entire sales cycle, from prospecting and qualification through close
- Develop relationships with AI leaders, engineering teams, platform teams, security teams, and executive stakeholders
- Run product demos and help customers understand how White Circle fits into their AI stack
- Navigate complex buying processes involving technical teams, legal, procurement, and executive decision-makers
- Work closely with CEO & Head of Revenue on strategic opportunities
- Provide structured customer feedback to product and engineering teams
- Help develop the messaging, sales process, and playbooks that will support future growth
MUST-HAVES
- 2+ years closing net-new B2B SaaS/AI to mid-market or enterprise, where ACV > $100k and product was not sold mainly on brand or relationships
- Technically literate - can hold conversations about complex technical products and have credibility with technical buyers
- Previously worked as an SDR and graduated to AE in no more than 2 years
- Can operate effectively without established playbooks or processes
- Happy hunting your own deals initially
- Extensive cold calling experience
- Readiness to travel to clients
- Perfect English
Strong nice-to-haves
- Have sold technical or security/infra/dev-tools products
- Have founded a company or built something from scratch
- Have been an early sales hire at a startup, especially a YC company
- Have experience as a software engineer, solutions engineer, sales engineer, or in another technical role
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AFTER 12 MONTHS
- You’ve closed multiple large logos, adding millions in revenue
- You've helped establish repeatable sales processes and messaging
- You've built strong relationships across the AI ecosystem
WHY WHITE CIRCLE
- Salary: $140,000 - $180,000 base
- Aggressive commission structure
- Meaningful equity package
- All the hardware, tools, and services you need
- Covered subscriptions for AI agents and IDEs
- Paid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work from
- Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez
