Sales Development Representative (SDR)
Sales Development Representative This role is eligible for full-time remote within the US. Please note that we unfortunately cannot sponsor H1B visas at this time. Who We Are Arpio is building the next generation of disaster recovery (DR) for the cloud. Modern enterprises face a growing list of threats to their cloud applications. With the increasing complexity of cloud-native environments, we know resilience to these threats is about more than just data. That’s why, at Arpio, we have built a best in class SaaS offering that makes it easier than ever to protect your entire AWS infrastructure from catastrophic downtime. Behind the scenes, we are a small but mighty team (YC21) who love to tackle hard problems and learn new things. We are fired up about working together to build an innovative new product and company from the ground up.
About the Role
Most companies don’t think seriously about disaster recovery…until they have to. Ransomware hits. A cloud region goes dark. An audit looms. That’s where we come in. As an Arpio SDR, you’ll own the top of the funnel for a platform that protects businesses from catastrophic data loss. You’ll prospect into IT and security teams, surface the gaps in their current backup posture, and book meetings that turn into real pipeline. This is a role with real ownership and real influence on how we grow. Your work directly funds our next stage of growth.
