We have thousands of agents deployed across scale-up startups and Fortune 500 companies. We have PMF and are doubling revenue every month. And we have far more enterprise inbound than we can handle. ## About the role Until now, I've closed every deal at Dataleap myself. I need someone to do it better than I do. You'll work directly with me, the CEO and founder, across the full sales lifecycle, from the first cold email to the signed contract. You'll also take over a large and growing pile of inbound leads and demo requests that we can't keep up with today. As our founding sales hire, you won't be handed a playbook. You'll write it. Every pitch, objection and closed deal shapes how Dataleap sells for years. As we scale, you'll help hire and build the sales team underneath you. You'll also have a front-row seat to AI. You'll sell the product that is changing how enterprises operate, and you'll use it to change how sales works. ## What you'll do - Outbound: Find our ideal customers and get them on the phone. Grow our outbound motion from zero into a repeatable engine. - Inbound: Demo and close the warm prospects who come through our front door. Turn interest into signed contracts, fast. - Events: Host events for prospects and customers, from intimate executive dinners to agent hackathons, so people walk away wanting to work with us. - Systems: Own the source of truth for our sales data. Build the pipeline, processes and reporting we'll need to grow this team 10x. - Agents: Build your own set of Dataleap agents to scale yourself. We expect you to cut manual work out of your job systematically, not to use AI as a productivity boost. - Be the voice of the market: Bring what you hear from buyers back to product and engineering. Push for what customers need, and push back when they're wrong. - Find the thousand things I haven't listed here, and just do them. You're a fit if - You're a closer. You've carried a number and hit it, ideally selling complex software to enterprise or fast-growing companies. You know how to run a multi-stakeholder deal from champion to procurement. - You're a hunter. You don't wait for leads. You enjoy outbound, find creative ways into accounts, and can't stand a quiet pipeline. - You're an AI power user. You don't just "explore AI", you live in it. You can demo agents credibly because you build them yourself, and you can hold your own with a CTO. - You're high agency and fast. You set the agenda, prioritize ruthlessly, and communicate clearly and to the point. - You're low ego and high ownership. Some of the work isn't glamorous, like cleaning the CRM or chasing a signature at 11pm, and you do it anyway. You want to work hard and be obsessed with what you do. - You build systems. You can't help turning chaos into process, and you think about how the next ten reps will sell, not just how you will. - You speak German at a native level and are based in Munich (or ready to move here). ## What you get - A first-hand view of how a YC company goes from founder-led sales to a scaled revenue engine, with you building it. - Direct exposure to the best people at YC, Founders Inc and CDTM. - Frequent trips to San Francisco to keep you at the frontier of agentic AI. - The best mentors and coaches for whatever problem you're working on. - An unlimited AI budget to automate your own work. - Generous equity and a compensation package (base plus uncapped commission) that reflects the impact I expect this role to have. - The path to build and lead the sales team as we scale. - I will personally make sure this is the fastest growth opportunity of your career. - If you ever want to start your own company, I'll back you. ## About Dataleap ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Dataleap builds the Agentic Operating System for enterprises, enabling business teams to create AI employees (agents) without engineering assistance. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; Y Combinator S24) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA (also has office in Munich, Germany) - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Jan Damm (CEO) and Jan-Hendrik Ruettinger (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI / Agentic Automation - **Target customers**: B2B – tech-forward companies ranging from 2-person startups to 2,000-person unicorns; later expanding to all companies. - **Mission**: “Make knowledge work at your computer fun” – give non-engineering roles (sales, ops, HR) the same AI superpowers that engineers get with tools like Cursor and Claude Code. ## Products & Services - **Dataleap Platform**: A cloud-based agentic work platform that lets business users describe tasks in natural language and have autonomous AI agents execute them. Features include: - 200+ pre-built integrations with common tools (Confluence, ServiceNow, Okta, etc.) - Support for custom HTTP APIs and MCP servers - Custom interfaces with action buttons generated from user data - Human-in-the-loop approvals, reviews, and handoffs - Multi‑model support to choose the best LLM for each task - Triggers from app events, schedules, and webhooks ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Total Funding**: **$3M** (announced Feb 4, 2026) – raised exclusively from founders and operators.

The founders come from Google, BCG, and Oxford AI research. - **Who they look for**: “Extremely good” individuals who resonate with redefining work – currently hiring Founding Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (Munich), and Deployment Strategist. ## Sources 1.
