About Traversal
What Traversal's reps carry is an AI site reliability engineer, agents that diagnose and fix incidents across large production environments, sold to SREs, platform teams and engineering leaders at big enterprises through technical proof-of-concepts run with its sales engineers and founders. Coverage is cut by US region: four enterprise AE seats (East, West, South and Central), each full cycle from outbound prospecting through contract negotiation, and a Regional Director for the West who leads that region's AEs while still working evaluations. The rest of the team is being built at the same time: an SDR lead to hire and run a small outbound pod against activity and pipeline targets, a sales enablement lead for AE, SE and SDR onboarding and certification, a revenue operations and strategy seat covering Salesforce, forecasting, territories and commission plans, and a GTM engineer in marketing who builds AI prospecting, enrichment and lead routing workflows. Seven of the nine sales titles are remote and two (RevOps and the GTM engineer) are in New York, and the AE postings ask for a track record selling developer tools. Its site announces a $120 million raise at a $1 billion valuation.
