Boston (3-4 days/week in office) | Seed stage | Open source infrastructure

We're Hoop.dev - we built an open-source access gateway that sits between your team and your databases/servers. Think of it as a smart proxy that handles authentication, auditing, and data masking without the usual enterprise security theater.

Our users love it because it actually makes their lives easier instead of harder. We've got real traction and need someone technical to help us scale.

What we're looking for

A first sales engineer. Honestly, we're not sure if we want someone from sales who can learn technical stuff, or someone technical who wants to try sales. Probably the latter.

If you're a dev/DevOps person who's curious about the business side, this could be perfect. You'd be:

Showing prospects how the product works (actual demos, not slides)
Hanging out in our GitHub community
Writing docs and technical content
Figuring out what prospects actually need vs what they say they need
Maybe speaking at conferences if you're into that

About you

You probably:

Know your way around databases, k8s, or infrastructure generally
Can explain technical concepts without making people's eyes glaze over
Are curious about why companies buy things (or don't)

Sales experience not required. Being able to code is more important than knowing how to "always be closing" or whatever.

Why now

First 20 employee at a company with real product-market fit signs
Open source project with actual users who contribute back
Work with smart people on hard infrastructure problems
Learn business skills without sacrificing your technical growth

The boring stuff

Competitive salary + equity. 3-4 days/week in our Boston office, flexible on which days. We use the tools you'd expect. Health insurance. Learning budget for books/conferences/courses.

Apply

Include your GitHub if you have one. Tell us about something technical you built or a problem you solved. We care more about how you think than your resume formatting.

No cover letter template nonsense. Just be yourself.
