The Graduate SDR will generate leads, conduct outbound campaigns, secure meetings for AEs, and collaborate on sales strategy in a fast-paced environment.
Data quality is the bottleneck of the AI era. Every Fortune 500 is trying to solve it. We're the team they call.
Today we're the data quality layer for accounts like Disney, Ralph Lauren, CBRE, HelloFresh or 2K Games. The industry is exploding because AI doesn't work on bad data.
We're scaling our SDR team in the US. This job is a perfect way to start an enterprise sales career by selling infrastructure to the most technical buyers in the market.
One of our SDRs recently went from SDR to AE in 9 months. The path is clear, and we expect you to walk it in 12.
Who we are
- Founded in 2018 by Maarten (Collibra employee #5) and Tom (creator of OSS projects that have generated hundreds of millions in value)
- Two products: Soda Core (open source) and Soda Cloud (commercial SaaS).
- 50+ employees
- Backed by Point Nine, Hummingbird, Singular, and Eurazeo.
- Offices in New York
What you'll actually do
Months 1–6: ramp and execute
- In-person sprint in New York with the co-founder and the rest of the SDR team
- Learn the enterprise data stack well enough to hold a real conversation
- Learn the ICP: Data Engineers, Heads of Data Platform, Chief Data Officers
- Learn the tools: Salesforce, Lemlist, our sequencing stack, our data providers
- 50 dials/day to warm and cold prospects (the floor, not the ceiling)

- Build your LinkedIn presence - we'll help you grow it into a real channel
- Sit in on every intro and demo call your AEs run
- Hit quota by the end of month 1 of full-time
- Attend in-person events with the team
Months 6–12: scale and own
- Pre-qualify deeper; raise the quality bar on every meeting you book
- Start taking some intro calls yourself
- Run your own custom outbound campaigns — not just the playbook
- Work your first SMB deals end-to-end
- Train the next SDRs we hire
- Attend conferences, run field events, build your network
- Know your numbers cold and consistently exceed quota
How you'll operate
- Playbooks exist - use them. We have proven messaging, sequences, and tooling.
- High volume, high precision. Every email and every call should be sharp.
- Direct access. You'll work with AEs, Sales Engineers, the CRO, and the co-founder. No layers.
- Own your pipeline. Nobody is going to chase you for activity. We expect you to chase the number.

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
