About Fabric

Fabric is building the AI Hiring OS for modern recruiting teams.

Today, hiring teams are drowning in fragmented workflows: sourcing tools, outreach tools, resume screening, scheduling, interviews, ATS updates, candidate follow-ups, and reporting. Fabric replaces this mess with AI agents that run the hiring workflow end to end: from sourcing candidates to outreach, screening, scheduling, and first-round interviews.

Give Fabric a role. Fabric returns interviewed, qualified candidates.

We work with staffing companies, enterprises, agencies, and high-growth teams that want to hire faster without compromising quality.

We are early, ambitious, and moving fast. This is not a company where sales simply receives leads and closes deals. We are still building the category, the sales motion, the playbook, the customer narrative, and the operating system around the product.

That is why this role exists. Thats the significance of the term Founding within the role name.

The Opportunity

Youll be joining as a Founding SDR to work closely with a GTM team of 4 amazing salespeople. Youll partner directly with the founders to turn founder insights + product usage data into high‑conversion sequences, sharp talk tracks, and scalable pipeline. Expect to do real work: research, write, dial, experiment, measure, iterate.

Youll help answer: Who cares most about fixing broken hiring What message breaks through Which triggers predict urgency Your fingerprints will be on our GTM playbook, tooling stack, and eventually the SDR > AE > RevOps machine we build.
