Cockroach Labs • Austin, TX

About The Position

Category-defining tech. Career-defining work. The next era of software won’t operate at human scale. Applications will create applications. Systems will coordinate with systems. Data and decisions will move faster than teams can react to them. The infrastructure powering that world cannot be fragile, reactive, or limited by the assumptions of the past. Cockroach Labs exists to build what comes next — before the world requires it. We created CockroachDB to survive failures, scale without compromise, and adapt to changing conditions automatically. Now we’re helping define a future where complexity fades into the background and infrastructure simply works, no matter the scale. This is the kind of challenge that attracts people who want to shape industries, not just participate in them. The work is ambitious, the standards are high, and the impact is real. The Role Cockroach Labs is hiring a Sales Development Representative with a primary focus on driving pre-event marketing engagement. This is an execution-focused, entry-level SDR role centered on generating event registrations, building awareness, and setting meetings ahead of key marketing programs and field events. This role works closely with the Marketing and Field Events teams to ensure that priority programs — including executive dinners, regional field events, and flagship conferences like RoachFest — are well-attended and generate meaningful sales conversations. Success in this role is measured by pre-event outreach activity, meetings set, and registrations driven. To be eligible for this role, you must be based in Austin, TX and will be expected to go into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays.
