Why join us
- You define how we sell. You are our first full-time sales hire. You own enterprise accounts and companies with their own voice teams, from first meeting to collected cash, and you decide which accounts we go after. There is no sales playbook yet, and we want you to write it.
- You build the sales team. As the book grows, you hire the next sellers, and the role grows with it.
- OTE of USD 290,000 to 350,000 with uncapped commission, plus 1.25 to 1.75 percent equity.
- You hold a founding title. You report to the CEO and present the pipeline at our board meetings.
Why this role exists now
Enterprise demand already comes to us, and we have no seller yet. Recently that meant a contact-center platform, a white-label reseller, and a BPO consultant. Our CEO works those deals today, between product work. You turn deals like these into signed pilots and a repeatable sales motion.
About Speko
Speko helps developers build voice apps that talk and can make and receive phone calls. We are OpenRouter for Voice AI: managed voice agents and phone numbers, plus a router across speech and language models that we test on public benchmarks.
You walk into every deal with proof a buyer can check. Our benchmarks at benchmarks.speko.ai compare STT, TTS, LLM, and speech-to-speech models, including true cost per solved call, and we re-benchmark as new models ship. Developers find us on their own: Speko trended in the Claude connector directory in September 2026 and is listed in the Cursor marketplace and the ChatGPT app directory. Y Combinator (S26) and Heavybit back us.
