About HUD
About the role
HUDs product sells itself to the right person. Your challenge is finding them and selling to them at scale.
Our buyers are ML engineers AI researchers and engineering leaders at frontier labs and enterprises. They dont respond to standard SaaS outreach. They respond to someone (or something) that understands what theyre building why their current eval pipeline is broken and how HUD fixes it. Someone who can have a real technical conversation then follow up relentlessly until the deal closers.
Were looking for a GTM Engineer who can scale HUDs current go-to-market motion. Youll build the pipeline run the outreach iterate closely on what works and what doesnt and close the meetings and build the systems that make this scalable by any means possible: CRMs sequencing platforms enrichment APIs custom scrapers.
The best person for this role understands sales pipelines deeply picks up new businesses fast and can articulate what HUD does to a technical buyer. Then do this at scale.
Responsibilities
Own HUDs outbound pipeline end-to-end: targeting enrichment outreach follow-up and meeting booking
Build and maintain infrastructure e.g. outbound email sequencing CRM automation lead scoring custom tooling inbound lead qualification
Develop messaging that resonates with technical buyers (ML engineers AI researchers engineering leaders) and iterate on it weekly
Quickly learn new prospect businesses and industries understanding their pain points workflows and why HUD matters to them
Use AI tools aggressively to 10x your output: vibe code scrapers automate workflows build internal tools
Track pipeline metrics and optimize conversion at every stage
Work closely with founders to develop and refine HUDs GTM playbook as we scale
Skills & Experience
Demonstrated ability to build and run a GTM motion with real measurable results
Technical fluency: comfort on the command line ability to vibe code and deep familiarity with GTM tooling (CRMs sequencing platforms enrichment tools data scrapers)
Ability to understand new businesses and technical products very quickly
Strong written communication that technical people actually respond to
Self-starter who can operate with minimal direction in a fast-paced startup
Strong candidates may also have:
Experience selling developer tools infrastructure or ML/AI products
History of building outbound systems using tools like Clay Apollo or custom automation
Technical background (CS degree previous engineering role or significant side projects)
Startup experience in 0 -> 1 and 1 -> 100
Familiarity with the AI/ML ecosystem .e.g you know what evals are what RL is and why researchers care
Evidence of creative high-leverage approaches to pipeline generation
We care about demonstrated output over credentials. If youve built and scaled a GTM in any capacity and can show the numbers we want to talk to you.
