About Warp

Warp is building self-driving employee management — payroll, tax compliance across thousands of jurisdictions, benefits, IT, and HRIS — that runs autonomously so companies never have to think about back-office operations. The team processes hundreds of millions in payments across 1,000+ companies. Revenue has grown 5x+ YoY for two years and is currently growing 20%+ month over month, putting Warp in the top 5% of startups by growth. It is the only company in the market that is not a PEO yet provides full liability and end-to-end payroll compliance (state registrations, tax filings, tax notices) — no direct competitor does this today, and any US company with an EIN is fair game, so the TAM is effectively unlimited.

Founded: 2023 | Team size: ~40 in NYC, scaling to 100 by year-end (company card lists 11-50 — discrepancy) | Total funding: $25M+ Industry: Fintech (payroll / HRIS / compliance) Website: warp.co Office: New York City (Flatiron) Backers: Ashton Kutcher / Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, founders of Dropbox & Replit, SV Angel, Homebrew Capital. Team from MIT, Ramp, Brex, Google, Dropbox, Apple.

Why Candidates Should Join

  • Uncapped earning + unlimited TAM: $190K–$250K OTE with aggressive accelerators (2x commission above 140% attainment); any US company with an EIN is sellable, no segment lock.
  • Hypergrowth seat: 5x+ YoY revenue two years running, 20%+ MoM now, top 5% of startups by growth — and every LLM advance widens the moat.
  • True full-cycle ownership: Independent operator seat — sell SMB through enterprise, build your own decks, no process ceiling. 5 of 6 current AEs are at or above quota.

The Role

Run full-cycle sales end to end — outbound prospecting through demo, close, and handoff to customer success — owning a $70K monthly ARR quota and self-sourcing 30% of pipeline. The remaining 70% comes from SDR-sourced outbound, inbound, and partner channels; you're matched 1:1 with an SDR.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Run full-cycle sales: outbound prospecting discovery demo close handoff to customer success
  • Self-source 30% of pipeline through outbound (non-negotiable structural requirement)
  • Hit a $70K monthly ARR quota with accelerators (1.25x at 100–120%, 1.5x at 120–140%, 2x above 140%)
  • Build your own decks and figure things out — no sales engineer, processes flex weekly
  • Maintain and log all sales touchpoints in CRM
  • Collaborate with SDRs, marketing, and product; matched 1:1 with an SDR
  • Travel only if you want to — not a requirement

Tech stack: N/A (sales role; CRM-based)

Requirements

  • Previous payroll company experience, or extremely strong background in big fintech companies
  • 8 months to 5 years of full-cycle closing experience in a quota-carrying sales role.
  • Consistent top-tier performance, such as Presidents Club attainment or equivalent, with Mid-Market or Commercial sales experience required.
  • Proven ability to self-source at least 30% of pipeline through outbound prospecting and business development.
  • Highly driven, competitive, and motivated by performance-based compensation and career growth.
  • Thrives as an independent operator, managing the full sales cycle without dedicated Sales Engineer support.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to NYC for a 5-day in-office role

Green Flags

  • Top 5% performer at current company. Closer hitting and exceeding quota.
  • On second sales role or recently promoted, hitting a ceiling on what they can earn.
  • Has self-sourced significant pipeline before. Excited by the 30% outbound rule, not scared.
  • Hungry for money and unlimited deal-size ceiling.
  • Independent operator, builds own decks, adapts without structure.

Red Flags

  • Senior SDR/BDR with no full-cycle closing experience.
  • Hesitates on the 30% self-sourcing rule.
  • Wants structure, SE support, or built playbooks.
  • Pure relationship manager or farmer profile.
  • Requires visa sponsorship or can't do 5 days in NYC.
  • Enterprise-only background
