About White Circle

White Circle is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.

  • We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others

  • We process over 100M+ API calls every month

  • We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model

We’re at a multi-million dollar run rate. You’ll be joining at the most exciting time - early enough that the equity can be life changing but at a point where demand has been proven.

What you'll do
  • Own the entire sales cycle, from prospecting and qualification through close

  • Develop relationships with AI leaders, engineering teams, platform teams, security teams, and executive stakeholders

  • Run product demos and help customers understand how White Circle fits into their AI stack

  • Navigate complex buying processes involving technical teams, legal, procurement, and executive decision-makers

  • Work closely with CEO & Head of Revenue on strategic opportunities

  • Provide structured customer feedback to product and engineering teams

  • Help develop the messaging, sales process, and playbooks that will support future growth

Must-haves
  • 2+ years closing net-new B2B SaaS/AI to mid-market or enterprise, where ACV > $100k and product was not sold mainly on brand or relationships

  • Technically literate - can hold conversations about complex technical products and have credibility with technical buyers

  • Previously worked as an SDR and graduated to AE in no more than 2 years

  • Can operate effectively without established playbooks or processes

  • Happy hunting your own deals initially

  • Extensive cold calling experience

  • Readiness to travel to clients

  • Perfect English

Strong nice-to-haves

  • Have sold technical or security/infra/dev-tools products

  • Have founded a company or built something from scratch

  • Have been an early sales hire at a startup, especially a YC company

  • Have experience as a software engineer, solutions engineer, sales engineer, or in another technical role

What success looks like after 12 months
  • You’ve closed multiple large logos, adding millions in revenue

  • You've helped establish repeatable sales processes and messaging

  • You've built strong relationships across the AI ecosystem

Why White Circle
  • Salary: $140,000 - $180,000 base

  • Aggressive commission structure

  • Meaningful equity package

  • Fully remote within the US

  • All the hardware, tools, and services you need

  • Covered subscriptions for AI agents and IDEs

  • Paid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work from

  • Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez

How we hire
  1. Intro call with Head of HR (25 min)

  2. Call with Head of Revenue (45 min)

  3. Take-home assignment

  4. Final conversation with our CEO (30 min)

Please submit your application in English.
