- Partner closely with the founders, engineering, and product teams to refine messaging, inform roadmap prioritization, and accelerate product‑market fit.
- Engage deeply with technical buyers, developers, and AI teams evaluating open‑source, fine‑tuned, or agent‑focused models.
- Build repeatable outbound and inbound processes, including tooling, qualification frameworks, sales reporting, and early playbooks.
- Work with marketing and community to drive launch success for new open‑source model releases.
- Represent Fastino at conferences, workshops, demos, and customer sessions.
- Collaborate with the founders to set revenue targets, positioning, and go‑to‑market strategy.
- Bring customer insights back into research and engineering to improve our model performance, APIs, and developer experience.
- Wear multiple hats as we scale—everything from first‑call outreach to shaping deals to defining onboarding and support flows.

- Comfortable selling highly technical products to engineering leaders, founders, and applied AI teams.
- Demonstrated success exceeding quota in high‑velocity or mid‑market/enterprise cycles.
- Energetic, hands‑on operator with a biased‑to‑action mindset.
- Strong communicator—comfortable demoing LLM capabilities and engaging with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Builder mentality: thrive in ambiguity, create structure where needed, and can scale into a managerial role as the team grows.
- High integrity, extreme ownership, and relentless follow‑through.
