Account Executive - Obviously AI

All businesses want to build AI, but there’s a cold-start problem - no one knows where to start. At Obviously AI, our vision is to turn every company into an AI company. To do this, we’ve created a software to build AI and LLM models in minutes, without writing code. This no-code software is the centerpiece, enabling users to harness the full power of AI effortlessly. To further the experience, our customers also have access to top-tier data scientists who offer expert guidance and support, helping them get the most out of their data.

We’re a small, scrappy group of people with a strong bent toward failing fast, bias for action and attention to detail. We’re focused on doing the best work of our lives and believe in having a healthy separation of work and play. We keep working hours flexible and are building a team that is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

Obviously AI is backed by some of the top venture capital firms in the US, and you’ll be on the ground floor of a fast-growing company with a big mission.
