Soda is looking for an SDR Intern to support our sales team and help scale our outbound efforts. In this role, you’ll focus on reaching out to prospective customers, qualifying inbound and outbound leads, and booking meetings for our Account Executives (AEs).
You’ll also help AEs with follow-ups, and assist in moving deals forward through the sales pipeline. Additionally, you’ll occasionally join in-person events to support our sales and marketing efforts. You’ll work closely with SDRs, Account Executives, and Lead Researchers.
👥 About us
Soda helps customers detect, resolve, and prevent data quality issues by combining automated post-production monitoring with pre-production pipeline data testing. We enable Data Engineers to effectively “shift left” data quality initiatives from business to engineering.
Founded in 2019 by Maarten (employee #5 at Collibra) and Tom (creator of multiple OSS projects that generated hundreds of millions in value), Soda is trusted by companies like Tesla, Slack, Adyen, Walmart, and J.P. Morgan Chase. Our product offering includes:
Soda Core – our open-source project
Soda Cloud – our commercial SaaS platform
We’re well-funded, with backing from top investors such as Point Nine Capital, Hummingbird, Singular, and Eurazeo. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of data quality software for years to come.
🤝 Our Values
At Soda, we value freedom with responsibility, transparency, and a growth mindset. We avoid politics and embrace open, direct communication. We raise potential issues early and communicate frequently. You’ll have the autonomy to prioritize and organize your work, and we expect you to grow with the company.
As Soda continues to grow, we envision successful interns progressing into full-time SDR roles and, over time, Account Executive positions.
