About Oodle.ai
Oodle’s mission is to build an iconic observability company! Oodle.ai is an AI-native observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces—debugged in plain English. Under the hood, it’s powered by a modern serverless, S3-native architecture that’s radically simpler and 3–5× cheaper than legacy observability stacks. It's a drop-in replacement for Grafana, Elastic, and Datadog with 1-click migration. Customers include unicorns, and public companies: Lookout, Zaggle, CureFit, and Fuel Labs.
The founders are serial entrepreneurs (ex-Rubrik, AWS, YC, and IIT Alumni) who have built world class teams over the last decade. They lived through observability pain points for 8+ years - both as a buyer at a high scale company for 4.5 years (Rubrik) and as a company builder selling to the same buyer (4+ years at YC Startup). Our team has built and launched world-class products like Rubrik Security Cloud, AWS S3, DynamoDB, and Snowhouse at Snowflake. The team has not only co-founded startups but also understands how to scale them. We are backed by Engineering Capital, Pear VC, and SNR VC (2025's best early stage investor).
We’re winning customers who are tired of:
-
Datadog cost blowups
-
Elastic/OpenSearch operational overhead
-
Grafana/Loki scaling ceilings
-
Slow incident resolution
The Role
We’re hiring a Founding SDR to build our outbound engine from scratch.
This is for someone who has done early-stage startup selling before (ideally infra/devtools), sells well to technical buyers, and brings real hunger + high energy.
