StatusPal | Founding GTM Lead | REMOTE (Europe / EU-overlapping timezone) | Full-time | €55–75k base + uncapped commission (~€100–140k+ OTE) + 1–2.5% founding equity

StatusPal helps engineering and IT teams detect, fix, and communicate incidents — monitoring, incident response, and status pages in one platform. We're small, profitable, and bootstrapped (no VC, no runway clock), with real revenue and customers. What we haven't built yet is a growth engine — that's this role.

We're hiring our first commercial hire to own go-to-market end to end: both marketing/demand (content, SEO, partnerships, paid) and sales (outbound, demos, closing). You'd wake up thinking about how we sell more, lean on AI to punch above your weight, and bring in freelancers or reps when the numbers justify it — running the whole function so it compounds without the founder in the day-to-day. Strong fit if you've done a hands-on 0→few-million at an early-stage B2B SaaS and want real ownership and upside over a big-company base.

Not a fit if you want a finished playbook, warm leads handed to you, or to be purely a marketer or purely a closer — this role owns the whole path.

I'm the founder and will reply to everyone. Full details + apply: https://statuspal.notion.site/Founding-GTM-Lead-39009d5544a7...

Maybe a dumb question but, are there advantages of using Llama instead of ChatGPT besides cost and the fact that it’s open?
Re:Tell HN: Gmail rate limiting emails from AWS SES on Friday August 18, 2023 @10:50AM (#37176465)
Would you happen to know of better alternatives for sending critical email notifications? We're just now working on moving away from Mailgun into SES. This thread is making me reconsider.
That's only for MacOS. I meant something like that but for iOS. Any ideas?
Man, I’d love to find a simple Safari extension to make the HN’s font slightly larger and enable dark mode in iOS without the need to use another app.

Is this technically possible? If so, I might go ahead and code this myself ^^

Re:Man Cures Acid Reflux By Eating Upside-Down on Wednesday May 24, 2023 @01:00PM (#36060960)
How long does it take for you to realize if cutting something off your diet helps?

Since I feel like some foods can take days to affect my GERD it can be difficult to tell what helps and what doesn’t.

Yep, quite slow for me (EU).
Re:Ask HN: Who else is working/on call over Christmas? on Saturday December 24, 2022 @10:27PM (#34123897)
I’m on call too. As a solo founder of a small SaaS.

I’m curious if there’s a community like a Slack channel for sharing this kind of experiences?

Thanks! Any idea of how 1password compares with bidwarden in terms of security?
Does Bitwarden support a keyword shortcut that brings up the password search? (outside of browser preferably), couldn't find one.
After migrating to another password manager, do you also need to rotate all your passwords? Or at least the most sensitive ones? Or is the LastPass hack so far unlikely to compromise the passwords? (since I understand only encrypted data is in hacker's hands)
I didn’t receive any emails from Heroku about this, thank you so much for this reminder. Saved us a lot of headaches.
Re:Introducing Notion AI on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @12:07PM (#33626576)
For me this is huge. No more random formatting on google docs from team members, notion removes this from the picture and ppl can focus on the content.

Also the ability to nest documents, insert tables that are easy to manage and again formatting is a solved issue.

Oh boy CF if a difficult one to replace :/ will have to start looking for EU alternatives.
Re:Shopify Is Illegal in Germany on Friday November 11, 2022 @01:13PM (#33564460)
Thanks a lot this is super helpful, much appreciated.

I was just thinking about the other services, for example would Cloudflare be ok? We proxy all our traffic through them, and they are key for DDOS prevention, I suppose data goes encrypted to them.

Re:Shopify Is Illegal in Germany on Friday November 11, 2022 @12:55PM (#33564174)
Actually maybe it wasn’t clear because of the parent comment I commented in, but we are a EU company, but for our server hosting we use a US provider.

Do you know if that that makes any difference?

As a EU resident myself I completely understand, it just is a bit tough to make the changes as a small company, but if it’s legally required we’ll make them ASAP.

Re:Shopify Is Illegal in Germany on Friday November 11, 2022 @12:37PM (#33563890)
We definitely store PII as we have to store users emails an even phone numbers.

So we basically need to migrate to a EU based could provider ASAP?

Would this privacy shield 2 fix this problem? I suppose we can’t just wait for that.

Re:Shopify Is Illegal in Germany on Friday November 11, 2022 @12:25PM (#33563700)
Is it not even ok to store this data if the company is clear about the fact that they are hosting the data in servers of US company like AWS?

Like making it clear in the DPA/PP?

Ask HN: What todo app do you use?

I’m looking to replace my physical notebook daily todo lists (I know there’s something unique about physically checking tasks out on a notebook, but sometimes is not so practical so I want a good digital alternative). Is there an app out there that is really up to the challenge?My flow is as follows:For each day I write the date and the tasks I really want to tackle that day.I also have a...

Re:How we renamed our Design Converter to Magical Ass on Friday July 29, 2022 @08:46AM (#32276161)
Oh man, that's a classic, always check what your name idea means in different languages ^^ it's actually close to "ass" in Spanish too (culo).

Do you plan to keep the new name? Personally I don't think is so bad.

I created this unofficial Hacker News status page so I could subscribe and get notified once HN comes back up :) https://hacker-news.statuspal.io/
What do you like about Mattermost that’s missing in MS Teams?

Can you link a couple of sources that show companies that successfully leverage this use cases?
