Braintrust is the agent observability platform. By actively applying intelligence to agent traces and automatically surfacing the most critical patterns, Braintrust gives teams the visibility to understand how agents behave in production and the tools to improve them.

Teams at Notion, Stripe, Box, OpenAI, and Cloudflare use Braintrust to trace their agents, find the issues in their observability data, and run evals that tell them how to improve.

About the role

  • Navigate complex sales and win trust through consultative sales conversations with technical teams.

Ideal candidate credentials

  • You have 5+ years of full cycle sales experience, selling to technical audiences.

  • You have the drive and willingness to go deep on our product to carry a technical conversation with AI teams.

  • You are ready to roll up your sleeves and drive impact to exceed revenue targets.

  • You have a strong worth ethic, competitive drive, and you naturally inspire and motivate those around you.

  • You have thrived in environments where things are sometimes loosely defined and may have competing priorities or deadlines.

Benefits include
