About the Job & Shakudo
At Shakudo, we are building the world’s first operating system for data and AI. We use the term operating system in the truest sense of the word. Like iOS, Windows and Linux, Shakudo’s end-to-end OS offers ever-evolving, automatically operated, best-of-breed open-source components tailored to each business's unique needs.
As we continue to grow, we're in search of exceptional Business Development Representatives (BDR), tasked with leading our outbound efforts in our target industries. As a BDR, your role will be pivotal in how Shakudo grows market presence in mid-market businesses and enterprises, generates solution-oriented opportunities, and increases the number of companies that build data products on Shakudo.
You’re someone who has experience in selling Data/AI/ML infrastructure, IT solutions, system integration, or digital consulting—and you enjoy engaging deeply with CIOs, CTOs, VPs, Directors, and other tech leaders.
Why this role?
Shakudo is growing quickly, and we’re looking to expand our go to market efforts in business development. We have strong product market fit with our customers, and want to scale out our awareness with targeted outbound activity.
There is no shortage of BDR roles on the market, so we wanted to share why ours is unique:
Fast track to AE: Ideal candidates will be mentored into the role within 12 months.
Engage with buyers on some of the most innovative data products in the market.

More importantly, you'll work on technology that matters.
