Computer use agents to deploy enterprise marketing campaigns. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You'll be one of two founding sales hires. You'll close deals with me (Clint). We have a full marketing engine - dinners, outbound, demand gen - that generates plenty of pipeline. Your job is to close it. And you're working for a founder who has actually done the SDR job and the AE job, not one who thinks sales is a vending machine.
What they're looking for
- You're one of the smartest people in most rooms you're in. This is the thing we weight above everything else, and we test it directly in the first 20 minutes. Charisma doesn't cover a gap here
- You own a room. You're usually the one at dinner doing most of the talking, and the table is better for it. You can hold a position with a CMO who has decided they know more than you do
- You want to close. Not advise, not strategize, not build - close. Five demos a day and a number against your name
- You've done something hard that wasn't sales. Founded a company, switched fields, ran events, shipped something, learned a language. We care about this more than your quota history
- You take feedback like it's free. Two founders will tell you plainly when you're wrong, most days, and you'd rather have that than a quarterly review
More about this role
Enterprise marketing still runs through agencies because launching one campaign means coordinating specialists across Marketo, HubSpot, Meta, LinkedIn, CMSs, and a dozen other systems. It takes weeks.
CharacterQuilt uses computer-use agents to do that work inside the software companies already use. A campaign that took three months can now ship in two days. We were among the fastest-growing companies in YC Spring 2026 - $1.5M to $3.5M in revenue during the batch alone - and just raised a $13M seed round.
The story: we built a Clay replacement, then ran an agency for 12 months. That's why the agents actually work - we did every one of these jobs by hand first. Customers like Follett ($2B company) and Asana ($2B company) are genuinely launching campaigns in 1 day instead of 1 month.
Bhairav, my co-founder, did AI research at NASA, NVIDIA, and MIT. When a customer buys CQ, they're buying forward-deployed engineering in their marketing team. My background is SDR, then AE, then product marketing, then demand gen - I've done all the GTM jobs.
