Amari AI — Founding Enterprise GTM

Type: Full-time | On-site | San Francisco, CA Compensation: $150,000–$180,000 base ($240K–$300K OTE, uncapped) + 0.25%–0.75% equity Hiring count: 1 Visa sponsorship: None available Reports to: Founder

Amari builds AI agents for the logistics industry, automating the document-heavy, manual workflows that slow down global trade — reading shipment documents, classifying goods, and generating compliant customs filings with minimal manual input. The company is past early validation, has achieved product-market fit, and is already deployed with enterprise customers processing meaningful operational volume. Amari raised $4.5M from First Round Capital and Pear VC and is now scaling the platform's breadth and depth.

• First sales hire, real ownership: Owns the enterprise acquisition engine end to end, working directly with the founder to build the playbook from scratch — no inherited pipeline, no SDR org, no mature motion to inherit.
• Clear path to GTM leadership: The opportunity to grow into GTM leadership is real and tied directly to building a repeatable motion.
• PMF already in hand: Deployed with enterprise customers processing live operational volume, backed by First Round and Pear, so the seller is building on proof rather than selling vapor.
• Uncapped upside: $240K–$300K OTE, uncapped commission, plus meaningful founding-level equity.
