Lead Technical Recruiter
About Unify
Unify was founded January 17th, 2023 by Austin Hughes (former Ramp) and Connor Heggie (former Scale AI). Prior to Unify, Austin led Ramp’s growth product team focused on new customer acquisition, and Connor was a machine learning research engineer at Scale. Other members of the founding team come from companies like Airbnb, Spotify, and LinkedIn.
Our mission is to build the first system-of-action for go-to-market teams, starting with an end to end platform powering warm outbound. Today, outbound sales is dominated by cold, mass outreach that floods people's inboxes and converts to deals at a tiny rate. We’re building a platform to power warm outbound, allowing go-to-market teams to get in touch with the right people at the exact time they’re looking for a solution.
We've grown revenue 39x year-over-year, and are already serving customers like Lattice, Airbyte, and OpenPhone (see here for case study). We’re a high energy team and we’ve raised $19M from Thrive, Emergence, OpenAI and others. Come join us in changing how go-to-market works.
