About the role

About Momentic

Momentic is an AI driven dev tool, we do code testing. Code testing is the worst part of building product. Our AI emulates users to find broken workflows. For example, our AI can place a (fake) online order of Bon Nene on your favorite food delivery app and alert the proper product team if the test order doesn’t go through.

We aren’t alone, our competitors include:

  • Free legacy products like Playwrite and Cypress (extremely costly to build and maintain)
  • Companies that outsource testing to humans abroad (slows down dev cycles)

We’re focused on building the best possible product and eliminating tedious work and we’re doing it with some amazing customers and investors.

  • Customers: Webflow, Retool, Quora, Podium, Chegg, Runway, and sixty-something more.
  • Investors include: Funders Club, Y Combinator, & General Catalyst

About the Team

We are a team of six: Wei-Wei (CEO), Jeff (CTO), Henry (Eng), Angelo (Sales), Kailen (Design) & Alex (Success) + soon {{YOUR NAME HERE}} (Founding Sales Engineer)

Here’s a bit about the team:

  • Wei-Wei: ChatGPT described him as “driven, sharp, tactical, scrappy, fearless (Wrangles bugs, cash, and chaos).”
  • Jeff: This post gives a bit of insight into who Jeff is.
  • Henry: His about me states: “Numerous years of experience crafting homegrown, artisanal, 100% made in the USA regular expressions that are intuitive and easy to read… I also beta-test chairs.”
  • Angelo: The closer. Described by chatGPT as an ambitious, golf-loving, AI-slinging rascal.
  • Kailen: The tallest person in the office. Fun Fact: He spent a year as a bike mechanic & races (yes, he has a fancy bike).
  • Alex: Chat GPT describes him as “curious, precise, empathetic, strategic, & iterative.”

Our team is highly technical, but we surround ourselves with top tier sales people. Steve and Kaytlin both help out part time, plus we have investors who are sales leaders at Anthropic, Retool, and Stripe. We rely on our network when we need sales input, and you can too.

About the role

We’re looking to hire a Founding Sales Engineer. This person will drive revenue while building the sales organization from the ground up — building demo environments, defining technical fit qualification, enabling adoption, refining tooling, and optimizing the POC process.

In this role, you will:

  • Act as an advocate for prospects and customers. We’re building fast, you’ll have a hand in what we build and when based on your expertise and critical understanding of our users.
  • Own the technical demo, POC, and successful implementation for deals of all sizes from outreach to close.
  • Partner closely with Sales to support new business growth and upsell.
  • Work closely with the founders to shape our sales strategy, product roadmap, and overall growth trajectory.
  • Create foundational GTM materials.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need to:

  • Have 3+ year’s experience in early-stage technical sales.
  • Be the technical counterpart for sales and marketing.
  • Balance long-term positioning with short-term revenue goals.
  • Have a high sense of agency and accountability; prioritize your work without much outside input.
  • Be ambitious, eager to experiment, and fail fast in pursuit of a repeatable sales process.
  • Be based in San Francisco and able to work regularly from our FiDi office.

Nice to haves:

  • A track record of selling technically complex products to developers or engineering leaders.
  • Experience selling into upper mid-market and enterprise (B2B SaaS).

Benefits:

  • Attractive compensation: We offer candidates three compensation packages with differing cash/equity mixes (High cash, lower equity vs. Lower cash, higher equity). We aim to offer competitive compensation based on stage and experience.
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
  • Paid company holidays, sick time, and unlimited time off.
  • A sweet office in SF (snacks, daily lunch, and Spindrift!).
  • Monthly credits to spend on commuting to and from our FiDi office.

About Momentic

One of the most tedious parts of software development is testing. The testing industry has long been plagued with archaic and fragmented software, with Selenium turning 20 years old this year.

By leveraging cutting-edge AI, we’re able to automate the most time-consuming tasks so engineers can focus on what matters, shipping features to customers. Engineers at companies like Chegg and Retool use Momentic to author tests 10X faster.

Momentic is one of the fastest-growing startups to come out of YC with strong traction. We’re generating revenue and are well-funded by some of the best investors in the Valley with years of runway.
