About Us Oliv.AI is a SalesTech global startup headquartered in San Francisco, debuting the world's first team of AI Agents for sales. With our recent $5.2M Seed funding, we solve one of the biggest problems for revenue teams: unreliable deal data. Oliv captures Deal Intelligence from every meeting, call, and email—without any rep involvement. The result is a clear, detailed view of every deal, presented in scorecards built on trusted sales methodologies like MEDDICC, BANT, and SPICED. Our AI agents are built for sales teams—sales managers, AEs, and RevOps—handling the work that takes them away from selling. With Oliv AI, sales teams can bring back focus on deals, strategy and conversation. About the Role We’re looking for an exceptional engineer to join the core team at Oliv AI. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can take an ambiguous product or engineering problem, figure out what actually needs to be solved, and drive it end-to-end from architecture and prototyping to production and iteration. You’ll primarily work on backend systems, but we don’t want engineers constrained by boundaries. If the problem requires frontend, infrastructure, data, AI/LLM integrations, or internal tooling, you should be comfortable figuring it out. We’re looking for someone with strong engineering judgment, someone who can spot what is not working, simplify complexity, think from the customer’s perspective, and improve the systems and practices around them. What You’ll Do Own complex, ambiguous engineering problems from first principles through production Design simple, scalable, reliable systems and make strong architectural trade-offs Think beyond the ticket and understand the customer problem behind what you’re building Identify technical or product issues proactively, not only when they are assigned Work across backend, frontend, infrastructure, data, and AI when needed Prototype quickly, test different approaches, and make decisions based on evidence Use mode

With Oliv AI, sales teams can bring back focus on deals, strategy and conversation. The role This is not a traditional marketing role, and it is not a pure engineering role either. You will decide which accounts matter, build the systems that research them, write the content that reaches them, build the partnerships that amplify it, and turn all of that into qualified pipeline. Two things have to be true about you at once. You are technically sharp enough to build your own workflows, wire up your own APIs, and ship a working system without waiting on engineering or anyone else. Nothing you own should be blocked on a single person, including us. And you are obsessed with distribution — content, syndication, social, and partnerships — because pipeline goes to whoever the buyer already trusts. That means newsletters, communities, podcasts, comparison pages, partner audiences, and the people who influence them. What you will own GTM strategy and experimentation Develop and continuously refine Oliv's ICP, market segments, buyer personas, and account-selection criteria. Translate company goals into specific growth hypotheses and campaign plans. Identify new audiences, buying signals, use cases, and distribution opportunities. Build a structured experimentation roadmap across content, social, syndication, partnerships, outbound, and ABM. Define success metric
