Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Product

About Poggio
Poggio is bringing the power of generative AI to sales teams. The Poggio platform leverages the cutting edge of AI to automate large portions of the enterprise sales workflow, including account planning, account research and meeting prep, deal reviews, territory planning, and QBRs. Poggio augments the capabilities of salespeople so they can spend more time building relationships with their customers, and less time on inward facing prep work.
We're reimagining the day-to-day of sales workflow and changing the way that sellers build relationships and earn trust with their customers. We're developing our product alongside the best enterprise sales teams on the planet, and are deployed in production powering their day to day sales motions.
We're supported in our mission by world-class investors from Accel and Spark Capital.
Our team is remote first, with opportunities for occasional in-person collaboration. We have a slight preference for SF / NYC, but we're flexible on location - our top priority is finding the perfect fit.
