Summary: Maple is a company focused on building AI agents for local businesses, enabling them to handle customer interactions over natural voice. The role involves owning revenue-generating systems, building and automating pipelines, and collaborating with sales, marketing, and operations to drive growth. Responsibilities: - Build and automate pipelines that close loops from the top of the funnel for any channel to closed-won revenue - A rep tooling layer that makes a Maple AE genuinely faster than an AE at any other company - Work with sales, marketing, and ops to solve bottlenecks and unlock growth - Keep our data clean and systems running smoothly - Prototype, test, and roll out new tools and automations - Whatever other system needs to exist six months from now that neither of us has thought of yet. You'll find them. That's half the job Required Qualifications: - 1–3 years in a technical, ops, or growth role - Gets excited by the business problem underneath the engineering problem - Has a reasonable amount of context on, or genuine curiosity about, how modern GTM actually works. You've at least heard of cold outbound, attribution, PLG, partner channels, SDR motions - Operates with zero hand-holding. You don't ask 'what should I build next', you show up with three options and an opinion on which is right - Writes code that ships, not code that architects. When you see a problem, your instinct is to build the scrappy 40% solution, measure it, and iterate and not to design the perfect system first - Uses modern tools (Claude, Cursor, Linear, whatever) fluently and without shame - If you're not sure whether you're qualified, apply anyway — we hire on trajectory and wiring, not pedigree Required Skills: Coding, Pipeline automation, Internal tooling, Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), Sales, marketing systems knowledge, Growth operations, Experimentation, measurement, Curiosity, Independence, Opinionated decision making Benefits: Full health, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, and unlimited PTO, Tools budget, coffee budget, whatever-you-need-to-be-great budget
