About QualGent QualGent is solving one of the most urgent problems in modern software:

verification .

We are ex-Googlers and YC-backed founders building in one of the biggest emerging markets in software. Coding agents like Cursor, Devin, and Replit have unleashed a new era of software creation. Engineers can now ship in hours instead of weeks. The only thing slowing them down is quality assurance, the final gate before users feel the impact. This shift created a trillion dollar opportunity for verification agents. QualGent is building the verification layer for modern software teams. We have already proven this hypothesis through enterprise deals and are now focused on scaling.

Our early teammates describe the experience as:

“I’m amazed how fast QualGent moves — and how involved the founders are.” — Founding Engineer “This is the most thoughtful GTM strategy I’ve ever seen.” — GTM Advisor

This is a chance to build the verification engine for the next decade of software.

The Role We’re hiring a

Founding Head of GTM , a builder who wants to architect, run, and scale our entire go-to-market motion. You will report directly to the CEO and work closely with the founders and our GTM Engineers to drive the full customer journey. ICP → outbound → meetings → demos → contracting → closing → expansion.

This is not a traditional sales role. This is a

zero-to-one GTM architecture role

with immense ownership and upside.

You’ll define the playbook, build the system, and become the canonical GTM leader as we scale.

If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, write clearly, and love building machinery from scratch, you will excel here.

Alternate titles:

GTM Lead, Head of Sales, Head of Outbound, SDR Manager, Sales Lead, Account Executive (AE), Growth Lead.

What You’ll Do Build the Outbound Engine

Own ICP segmentation, account targeting, and persona mapping

Architect and run outbound campaigns (email, sequences, experimentation)

Build a repeatable pipeline-generation system from first principles

Improve hit rates through constant testing and iteration

Create Top-of-Funnel at Scale

Hit monthly targets for enterprise and growth-stage meetings

Own pipeline generation and early qualification

Manage a small team of interns, contractors, or offshore sourcers

Turn outbound from a founder-assisted motion into a self-sustaining engine

Partner Directly with Founders

Work hand-in-hand with the CEO on GTM strategy, positioning, and messaging

Collaborate with GTM Engineers to improve GTM automated systems

Bring market insights back to product and engineering to shape roadmap

Run the Full Sales Process

Conduct discovery, demos, and solution mapping

Build ROI cases for customers

Negotiate and close enterprise and mid-market contracts

Develop repeatable closing motions as pipeline scales

Own the System, Not Just the Activity

Build dashboards, CRM hygiene processes, and reporting

Write the canonical GTM playbook for future hires

Improve GTM strategy week over week based on experiments and data

What Success Looks Like (Your North Star) By Month 12, a strong GTM Lead will have:

Built a self-running outbound system

Delivered predictable monthly meetings (enterprise + growth)

Generated $1M+ pipeline

Closed multiple mid-market and enterprise accounts

Significantly influenced messaging, ICP, and pricing strategy

Become the natural leader of GTM as we scale

Exceptional hires grow into

VP GTM

as the company expands.

Who You Are A Builder You love creating systems from zero: messaging, ICP, outbound frameworks, playbooks, experiments.

A Clear Writer You write crisp outbound messaging, cold emails, and GTM insights with precision.

A Systems Thinker You can design an outbound engine — not just run one.

A Fast Operator You move quickly, test constantly, and bias toward action.

A GTM Athlete You’ve done some combination of:

outbound SDR/BDR work

AE-level closing

sales engineering or technical GTM

growth experimentation

DevTools/QA/engineering-focused selling

Comfortable Selling to Engineering Leaders You can speak credibly to Directors of Engineering, VPs, QA Managers, and CTOs.

Ambitious You want ownership, influence, and meaningful upside — not just a quota.

Skills & Experience We’re looking for someone who has:

3–7+ years in outbound sales, growth, or GTM roles

Proven ability to generate pipeline from scratch

Experience selling into engineering, QA, or technical teams

Strong outbound writing skills

Ability to create ICP segmentation and lead lists

Experience running experiments and improving reply rates

Experience managing SDRs, contractors, or offshore support (optional but strong bonus)

Familiarity with DevTools, QA, mobile testing, or B2B SaaS

Hunger to build, learn, and iterate fast

Bonus points:

Experience at a startup

Existing relationships with engineering or QA leaders

Why Join QualGent

over GTM

Above-market performance compensation

Real ownership

— you shape our strategy and customer motion

A massive category opportunity

created by AI agents

Extreme velocity environment

(founders ship daily)

Seed-stage equity with huge upside

Work with a team that cares deeply about product and customers

If you’re excited by the idea of building GTM from scratch in a category-defining company, we’d love to talk.
