# Founding Sales at Sim

- **Company:** Sim
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Compensation:** $150k–$175k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-08-26
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-12
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/sim/885a61aa-590e-4c14-91e3-2d877c0c76f1

## Job description

Our mission is to automate knowledge work. Sim is a platform to build autonomous AI agents for enterprise systems. Teams connect their integrations and Sim builds a knowledge graph of company data and processes; from there, they work with Sim to build and monitor the AI agents and workflows that run production systems. Sim is talent-dense. We're looking for special people who are mission-driven, passionate, and creative. We're a team of 10 working full-time, in person in San Francisco. We have a flat organization: you'll work directly with the founders and own your work from idea to execution. We sponsor visas.

## About the Role

We're deploying agents across Fortune 500 companies and already working with eXp Realty, Rivian, and Volkswagen Group Technologies. You'll work directly with the founders to build on that traction and turn demand for Sim into a repeatable sales process. You'll own the sales cycle end to end: identifying high-value use cases, running technical discovery and product demonstrations, guiding evaluations, and negotiating and closing deals. Your conversations with customers will shape our commercial strategy and product direction, translating buying criteria, deployment requirements, and objections into how we sell and what we build next. You may be a fit if

- You can translate complex technical capabilities into a clear business case and earn the trust of engineers, IT leaders, and economic buyers.
- You've closed deals without an established playbook, or can demonstrate the initiative, commercial judgment, and follow-through to build pipeline and win customers.

New graduates are welcome. We care about what you can do; projects, internships, and independent work count.

## Compensation

$150K–$175K base / $300K–$350K OTE (50/50, uncapped) plus a 0.1%–0.2% equity grant. OTE assumes quota attainment. Applying If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach out to schedule a few short conversations. After, we'll schedule an onsite in our office, where you'll work through a live scenario, discuss ideas, and meet the team.

## Equal Opportunity

Sim is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

## About Sim

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Sim provides an open-source visual workspace for developers to build, deploy, and manage AI agent workflows by connecting LLMs to tools like Slack, Supabase, and Gmail.
- **Entity Type**: Private (YC Spring 2025, Series A funded)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Emir Karabeg (Co-Founder & CEO) and Waleed Latif (Co-Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Industry**: Technology – AI Agent Infrastructure / Developer Tools
- **Target customers**: B2B – technical teams, individual developers, and enterprises building AI agent workflows.
- **Mission/Purpose**: “Build, deploy, and manage AI agents” from a single workspace, making agent creation as visual and intuitive as possible.

## Products & Services
- **[Sim Studio](https://www.sim.ai/)**: An open-source drag-and-drop canvas to design, test, and deploy AI agent workflows. Supports hosted and local LLMs, granular tool use, structured output, and deployment as APIs, scheduled runs, or chat interfaces. Integrates with 1,000+ apps (Slack, Supabase, Pinecone, Gmail, etc.).
- **Pricing Tiers**: Free (trial), Pro ($25/month), Teams ($100/month), and Enterprise (custom). Each tier scales credits, file storage, table rows, workspaces, execution limits, and log retention. Enterprise adds SSO/SCIM, SOC2 compliance, self-hosting, and dedicated support.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed; raised a $7M Series A (led by Standard Capital with 10 investors) and a $500K pre-seed from Y Combinator (July 2025).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding ~$7.5M; 70,000+ developers using the platform; 26,000+ GitHub stars in eight months; 4,646 LinkedIn followers (610% YoY growth).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (lead pre-seed), Standard Capital (lead Series A), and a network of 1,000+ integrated apps (Supabase, Pinecone, Slack, etc.).
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 866% YoY (from ~1 to 7 employees), active job postings up 150% quarterly, and the company expanded presence to Brazil. Recently launched enterprise-grade features (SSO, SOC2, self-hosting).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Open-source + visual canvas**: Combines the flexibility of open-source agent frameworks with a Figma-like drag-and-drop UI that eliminates boilerplate code.
- **Rapid adoption**: Among the fastest-growing developer tools on Y Combinator’s roster (Spring 2025 batch), with strong community engagement.
- **Broad integrations**: Pre-built connectors to 1,000+ tools and support for any LLM (including local via Ollama).
- **Founder-market fit**: Both founders have deep technical backgrounds (UC Berkeley NLP/CS, Amazon infrastructure at scale) and prior startup experience.

## Strategic Focus
- **Enterprise readiness**: Investing in compliance (SOC2, SSO, SCIM) and self-hosting to capture larger organizations.
- **AI workforce management**: Expanding “AI command center” capabilities to orchestrate multiple agents, manage shared workspaces, and monitor runs.
- **Open-source community**: Continuing to grow the GitHub repository and developer ecosystem to drive adoption and contributions.

## Why Work Here
- **Early-stage impact**: Join a 7-person team where every employee shapes product, culture, and direction.
- **High growth trajectory**: 866% headcount growth in one year, rapidly scaling user base, and fresh Series A funding.
- **Compensation & equity**: Competitive base salaries ($120K–$220K) plus meaningful equity (0.20%–1.20% depending on role).
- **Location & culture**: Based in San Francisco; likely in-office/hybrid given small team. Founders emphasize collaboration (“build agents together in real-time”).
- **Technical pedigree**: Surrounded by engineers from Amazon, UC Berkeley, and prior YC startups; work on cutting-edge AI infrastructure.
