The role, at a glance.
Reka is hiring an early sales team member to own complex, full-cycle enterprise sales for its generative AI and model-infrastructure products. The role covers prospecting, technical discovery, proof-of-concept support, negotiation, closing, pipeline management, and forecasting. The successful candidate will work closely with Applied AI, Product, Research, and company leadership on strategic opportunities. Strong technical fluency in model inference, APIs, fine-tuning, compute infrastructure, or AI capacity sales is important. This is a high-autonomy role in a remote-first, early-stage foundation-model startup serving US-based hiring eligibility.

Sample interview questions
I would identify the prospect's target use cases, model quality requirements, data and security constraints, current architecture, expected usage volumes, buying process, and success metrics. I would then connect those requirements to a focused technical evaluation plan and agree on clear business and technical next steps.
I would establish a joint success plan that defines the use case, stakeholders, timeline, evaluation criteria, required integrations, and decision process. I would maintain regular checkpoints, remove commercial or coordination blockers, and ensure the results are translated into an executive-ready business case.
I qualify opportunities against explicit customer pain, access to decision-makers, technical validation, commercial process, budget, and timing. I keep CRM data current, distinguish committed deals from upside, document risks, and communicate forecast changes early with evidence.
I would focus on outcomes: reliable and fast AI features, predictable operating costs, scalable usage, and lower engineering burden. I would avoid unnecessary technical detail while explaining how performance, capacity, and integration choices affect customer experience and business economics.
I would start by documenting patterns from early customer conversations, including personas, objections, qualification signals, messaging, and deal stages. I would test repeatable approaches, measure conversion points, share learnings with leadership, and evolve the process without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
About this role.
As a Member of Sales Staff, you will:
Own a book of prospective accounts end to end: prospecting, discovery, technical evaluation support, negotiation, and close
Run discovery calls to understand a prospect’s model usage, infrastructure constraints, and business goals, and map those needs to Reka’s product
Partner closely with Applied AI, Product, and Research to support technical evaluations, proofs of concept, and benchmarking exercises
Build and manage an accurate pipeline, and forecast reliably to leadership
Represent Reka at demos, meetups, and industry events as a credible voice on generative AI and model infrastructure
Work directly with leadership on strategic or complex deals given the size of the team
Help shape early sales process, positioning, and playbooks as one of the first dedicated sales hires
You may be a good fit, if you have:
3+ years of experience in sales, business development, or a customer facing technical role, selling to technical buyers or within AI, infrastructure, or developer tools
A track record of running full cycle deals and closing new business, not just generating pipeline
The ability to speak credibly about model inference, API integration, fine tuning, or compute infrastructure, or a demonstrated ability to get up to speed quickly on deep technical material
Big plus: prior experience selling AI compute or inference capacity (GPU clusters, model serving, or usage based infrastructure), you understand the buying motion around capacity commitments, utilization, and pricing
Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy at an early stage company with limited process
Strong written and verbal communication, and the judgment to tailor a message for a developer, an ML lead, or an executive
Genuine curiosity about AI and where the market is heading
