At Shakudo, we are building the world’s first operating system for data and AI. We use the term operating system in the truest sense of the word. Like iOS, Windows and Linux, Shakudo’s end-to-end OS offers ever-evolving, automatically operated, best-of-breed open-source components tailored to each business's unique needs. As we scale our go-to-market, we’re looking for a Channel BDR to build and grow our partner channel from the ground up. This is a unique BDR-adjacent role where your primary mission is outbound—finding, engaging, and signing up independent consultants and advisors who work with CIOs, CTOs, VPs, and other technology leaders at large enterprises. Think of it as sales meets ecosystem building: you’ll be the person who goes out and recruits the consultants who already have the ear of the tech executives we want to reach. Each consultant you sign up becomes a Shakudo partner, leveraging their existing relationships to open doors and generate qualified meetings. The more partners you recruit and the more results they drive, the more you succeed. Why this role?
Shakudo has strong product-market fit, and our customers are building some of the most innovative data products in the market. We want to amplify our reach through a partner channel—and we need someone who thrives on high-volume outreach to build it. This isn’t your typical BDR role:
Directly shape a new channel: You’ll be the first dedicated hire building Shakudo’s consultant partner network.
High-volume, high-impact outbound: You’ll make a lot of calls and send a lot of messages—and every partner you sign up compounds your impact.
Fast track to channel leadership: Prove the model and grow into a leadership role managing the partner ecosystem. Shakudo offers a high-impact package: competitive salary, meaningful equity so you share in the upside of transformational technology, and comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage. More importantly, you'll work on technology that matters. This role is based onsite to support the high security requirements of our clients and enable effective collaboration. Our culture is intense, focused, and fast-paced—we move quickly and hold ourselves to a high bar. We expect high ownership: you will be hands-on, driving outcomes directly rather than delegating or waiting for direction. Individual contribution matters here—your work will have a visible, measurable impact on the company’s growth. We have a welcoming office environment, fully stocked with snacks, regular team outings, and a team that is deeply driven by the work we do together. Shakudo is an equal opportunity employer and encourages candidates of all backgrounds to apply. We foster diversity and inclusivity and welcome applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.
