Lead Technical Recruiter

About Unify

Unify was founded January 17th, 2023 by Austin Hughes and Connor Heggie. 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 AI. The rest of our team comes from companies like Airbnb, Spotify, Bridgewater and Retool.

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 8x year-over-year, and are already serving customers like Guru, Justworks, Together.AI, Flock Safety, Hightouch and more. We’re a high energy, high intensity team and we’ve raised $58M from Thrive, Emergence, OpenAI and others. Come join us in changing how go-to-market works.
