About
At Along, we are growing our founding team of passionate makers. As our new Co-Founder / CTO, you will plan, build, and test new features for users. We are a small team and you will have the unique chance to become heavily involved in the core of our product development and vision to dive deeper into Agentic AI. You are a leader from day one!
You will translate business needs into working software by taking ownership of the entire software life cycle – design, development, test, release and maintenance (end-to-end). You will also focus on improving Along’s performance and reliability by building new features or polishing parts of the product as we gather feedback and learnings from users.
This role is remote between the US and EU. Location is open and can be on both continents.

Problem we are solving
Today, sales and customer success teams are faced with the problem of selling complex products such as software, hardware or professional services to buyers that
* find 75% of their last purchase difficult
* do 95% of their decision-making outside of the seller’s influence
* have to loop in 5-7 stakeholders and look at 25-50 content pieces scattered across tools and emails to make a decision
The execution of a deal resembles project management tasks, but the tooling is stuck at emails and video calls. It’s comparable to being tasked with the organization of a large rebranding with multiple people as an agency, but you are not allowed to use solutions like Trello, Asana or Monday and can only use Emails Ping-Pong.
Along is a deal execution platform that allows customers to orchestrate the entire sales and onboarding process to bring buyers from a first interest to value in the most seamless way possible.
We are fully integrated into CRMs as official ISV partners of Salesforce, Hubspot or Pipedrive. Additionally, we are fully SOC2 and ISO27001 certified and count unicorns and old economy companies from the German Mittelstand as our customers with positive NRR.
The next steps on our product roadmap include the development of Agentic AI features to automate tasks, visualize aggregated data and plug into additional solutions in a seller’s tech stack. We are currently rolling out the next version of Along to turn our platform from an AI-enabled solution into a truly Gen-AI application.
