What startups in developer tools build

Founders are usually engineers fixing a problem they had themselves, and the customer does the same job as the person hiring. Roles reward writing clearly in public, since documentation and community carry more weight than advertising.

The hiring market
What sales and business development work involves at an early-stage startup
You are often the first person selling, so there is no playbook and no inbound list. You find the buyers, run the pitch, then write down what worked so the next hire can repeat it. At a large company the territory and the price list already exist.
Experience level
Open roles by the experience the posting asks for.
