## Job description

## About Teleskope

Teleskope is redefining data security for the AI era with the only dedicated platform that combines precise visibility with automated remediation. Teleskope continuously scans, catalogs and classifies data in-motion and at-rest while automating policy-based actions, helping organizations proactively manage data sprawl while securely enabling AI adoption. Fresh off our $25 million Series A round, Teleskope is entering a high-growth phase backed by top-tier investors and exceptional product-market fit.

## About the Role

We're looking for our Founding SDR to build the outbound motion at Teleskope from the ground up. You'll set the playbook — cadences, signals, segmentation, AI workflows — that every future SDR runs on. This is a true builder role. You're the right fit for this role if you are excited by joining an early-stage team and thriving in an autonomous and highly creative environment. This is a hybrid role requiring 3-4 days in office in New York City.

## What You’ll Do

- Generate pipeline through thoughtful, multi-channel outbound — email, calls, LinkedIn, and the new channels you'll experiment with along the way
- Engage with and qualify prospects in enterprise companies to understand their security challenges and set up meetings with Account Executives
- Partner closely with marketing on lead gen, inbound follow-up, and field/event campaigns — you'll be a real voice in shaping how we run demand
- Contribute to the development of prospecting strategies and messaging to effectively communicate Teleskope’s value proposition
- Get creative with AI and GTM stack (Clay, Amplemarket, HubSpot, Sales Navigator, LLMs) to build workflows that research target accounts, map decision-makers, surface buying signals, and keep pipeline and reporting clean in HubSpot
- Consistently hit or exceed weekly and monthly qualification and opportunity creation quotas

## About You

- 1-3 years of experience in B2B SaaS sales, market development or lead generation (cybersecurity, data, or infrastructure a plus)
- Hands-on with a modern GTM stack — Clay, Amplemarket, HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) for research, signal-spotting, and personalized outreach
- Process-oriented and data-driven with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to synthesize and explain complex concepts in a simple way
- A customer-centric and results-oriented mindset
- Have a can-do attitude and tons of hustle. You're the kind of person who finds a way — and you're already asking how quickly you can become a seller
- Must be based in New York City
- Willingness to travel for industry events

Nice to Haves:

- Experience in security, privacy, or data governance domains
- Experience in a startup environment is strongly preferred

What you'll get:

- An opportunity to join an early-stage startup in one of today’s fastest-growing markets
- A clear path to AE. This role is designed as the first step toward a closing seat with a real, defined path forward as you grow into it
- A beautiful office in NYC’s Financial District, with breakfast and snacks provided daily, and weekly catered lunch
- Flexible vacation and work-from-home days
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Health, vision, dental, 401k and more benefits, heavily subsidized by Teleskope

## About Teleskope

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Teleskope provides an automated data security platform that uses a Data Reasoning Layer to detect, classify, and remediate sensitive data exposure in real time, enabling safe AI adoption.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Venture Capital-backed; Seed + Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, USA
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Elizabeth Nammour (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Data security / cybersecurity
- **Target customers**: B2B; enterprise and mid-market organizations (e.g., fintech, financial services, media)
- **Mission or purpose**: To automate data security so teams can move fast while keeping data governed, especially as AI tools are adopted.

## Products & Services
- **Teleskope Platform**: An agentic data security platform that autonomously scans, catalogs, and classifies data in motion and at rest. It enforces remediation (block, quarantine, redact, notify, delete) natively without handoffs to third-party tools. The Data Reasoning Layer understands business context (e.g., chemical IP vs. hospital PHI) to reduce noise and enforce least-privilege access.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $32.2M (Seed round in April 2024, Series A of $25M in November 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: M13, Primary Venture Partners, Lerer Hippeau (lead investors); also AirAngels, Correlation Ventures, CyLon Ventures, Essence Global
- **Growth Signals**: Trusted by organizations including Ramp, LegalZoom, Alloy, GoFundMe, and The Atlantic. The Atlantic reported a 95% reduction in time spent on data deletions. Headcount grew from ~29 (PitchBook) to 37 total employees (Built In), with 24 in product + tech roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Native remediation** – resolves exposure within the same platform (no SOAR handoffs), providing a full audit trail and reversibility.
- **Context-aware classification** – learns each organization’s unique risk profile and workflows, filtering out noise.
- **Speed and coverage** – two-second detection, 100% data coverage, 10x faster issue resolution than manual processes.
- **Agentic approach** – autonomously maps what AI tools and copilots can access, preventing sensitive data from reaching external LLMs.

## Strategic Focus
- **Enable responsible AI adoption** by giving security teams automated guardrails so employees can use AI tools without exposing sensitive data.
- **Reduce manual work** – shift security teams from alert triage to investigation and advisory by automating remediation and enforcing retention policies, cutting storage costs and legal exposure.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a place where people can do their best work and feel proud of the impact they make every day. Emphasis on building “more than software.”
- **Work policy**: Hybrid – team is on-site in New York City Tuesday through Thursday each week; 24/7 office access; employees encouraged to come in on Mondays and Fridays if they choose.
- **Tech stack**: Python, Go, TypeScript, React, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Azure, GCP, PostgreSQL, Pandas, D3.js. Engineers work across the full stack.
- **Team size**: ~37 total employees, with 24 in product + tech (as of mid-2026).
- **Perks**: Modern NYC HQ, offsite events, and a collaborative engineering culture.
