Account Director (AI / Emerging Tech)

Greptile

<div>
 We want to build agents that autonomously validate code changes. Today that looks like AI that reviews pull requests in GitHub, catching bugs and enforcing standards. We&rsquo;re reviewing close to 1B lines of code a month now for over 3,000 companies.
 
 
 
 Problems We&rsquo;re Excited About
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Coding standards can be idiosyncratic and are often poorly documented; can we build agents that learn them through osmosis like a new hire might?
 </li>
 <li>
 Can we identify for each customer what types of PR feedback they do and don&rsquo;t care about, perhaps using some sample efficient RL, in order to increase signal-to-noise ratio?
 </li>
 <li>
 Some bugs are best caught by running the code, potentially against discerning AI-generated E2E tests. Can we autonomously deploy feature branches and use agents to parallel try to break the application to detect bugs?
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Trajectory
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 7,000+ customers
 </li>
 <li>
 Raised $30M from Benchmark, YC, Paul Graham, Initialized
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Team
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 We have assembled a small, talent dense team who have scaled critical functions at companies like Stripe, Google, Figma, LinkedIn, etc.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Qualifications
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 BS in Computer Science or equivalent
 </li>
 <li>
 Some research experience, ideally with ML/LMs/Agents
 </li>
 <li>
 Strong programming skills and good product intuition
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Responsibilities
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Experiment with and apply recent advancements in agents/LMs etc. to improve the performance and capabilities of our products
 </li>
 <li>
 Example: you might study multi-agent architectures, prototype and evaluate a multi-agent code review workflow, and then work with a team to integrate successful prototypes into production systems
 </li>
 <li>
 Stay current with the latest research in LLMs, information retrieval, and developer tooling
 
 
 </li>

Research Engineer

Arcade Food Theatre

<div>Everyone's building AI agents, but almost nobody gets them to production.
Building an impressive demo is easy. Building an AI agent that can securely take action inside enterprise systems is hard. The moment an agent accesses customer data, executes a workflow, or makes changes on behalf of a user, authorization, governance, and trust become the real engineering challenge.
Arcade is the MCP runtime that gives agents the power to do both seamlessly. We connect agents to the systems they act in, then give each one a permission slip and a paper trail - proof of what it's allowed to do, and a record of what it did. That's what makes AI safe to turn loose: real actions, on real systems, already shipping inside Fortune 100 companies.
The Revolution Needs You
Every AI app needs agentic &quot;tools&quot; - special functions that let AI models take real actions. Without tools, AI can only chat. With tools, AI can actually do things. We're building the definitive tools catalog and tool-calling platform that will unlock AI's true potential. Think Zapier for AI Actions. Think Auth0 for AI. Think really big.
Why This Is The Opportunity of a Lifetime<ul><li>
Traction: Real deployments with Fortune-100 customers like Morgan Stanley and Open Table</li><li>
Founder-Market Fit: Our CEO previously founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta), where he created the first Authentication API for developers. He's done this before - and this time the market is 10x bigger. Our CTO led the vector database team at Redis, shipped 100+ LLM applications, and is a contributor to LangChain and LlamaIndex. He knows this space better than anyone.</li><li>
Dream Team: We've assembled authentication, integrations, distributed systems, and AI experts from Okta, Redis, Microsoft, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, Airbyte, Disney, and HPE who've built and founded multiple successful developer platforms.</li><li>
Perfect Timing: Every enterprise is racing to put agents in production - almost none get there. The problem isn't better models, it's proving which agent can take which action, on behalf of which user, against which system. That's us.</li><li>
Massive Market : We're building critical infrastructure for the biggest technological shift of our generation. Every AI app will need what we're building.</li><li>
Backed By The Best: Our Series A round is led by SYN Ventures, with strategic investment from Morgan Stanley and Wipro. Our earlier investors have also backed Databricks, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Perplexity, Cohere, ScaleAI, Confluent, Elastic, and Firebase. They see what we see - this is going to be huge.</li></ul>
The Challenge
The number of deployed Arcade customers is growing rapidly, and after a deployment goes live, someone needs to own everything that happens next. Right now that's ad hoc. We need a leader to build our support function from zero - on a product that looks nothing like typical SaaS. To help a customer succeed, you&rsquo;ll need to understand MCP, OAuth, SSO, tool-calling, and cloud infrastructure. Nobody has been debugging agent authorization at enterprise scale long enough to write the playbook for it. That bar is why Arcade is becoming core infrastructure inside Fortune-100 companies, and it's why this role matters more here than it would anywhere else.
You'll be our first support hire and own the team&rsquo;s growth and processes. For the first several months you'll be doing the L2 support work yourself while you grow the team and build the function. That&rsquo;s how you&rsquo;ll earn the pattern recognition that makes everything you design afterward correct instead of theoretical. This will include not only helping customers, but also improving our docs, configuring agentic support &amp; automations, setting SLAs, and defining escalation paths that let the team scale sub-linearly as customers grow. Do it right and support becomes a product in its own right - fast, technical, and a direct input into what we build next. You&rsquo;ll be reporting to the Head of Product because you'll have some of the strongest signals about what we should build next and we want you sitting right inside the conversation.
What You'll Do<ul><li>
Build the support function from scratch: stand up L0 (docs), L1 (AI &amp; automations), and define the routing, SLAs, and escalation paths up to FDE (L3) and Engineering (L4).</li><li>
Own L2 support: be the human escalation point for real technical issues - Okta/SSO not working, tools not getting called correctly by the LLM, gateway and user-source configuration, auth edge cases.</li><li>
Grow and lead the team. Use your experience to scale a world-class support org that customers rave about and sets the technical bar for what a support organization looks like.</li><li>
Automate aggressively so support does not need to scale with customer count. An AI-first approach is central to how you'll work.</li><li>
Partner with FDE: take over as primary customer contact after first deployment so FDE can move to the next customer; over time, absorb &quot;standard&quot; onboarding and cluster setup - especially for marketplace (AWS/Azure) deployments to make that experience seamless.</li><li>
Close the loop with Product and Engineering: turn recurring tickets and friction into prioritization signal and product fixes.</li></ul>
Required Skills<ul><li>
You've built or led a support team for a technical, B2B product.</li><li>
Strong technical fluency in infrastructure and auth - OAuth, SSO/SAML, APIs and tool-calling, cloud deployment concepts. You can debug alongside a customer, not just triage.</li><li>
A player-coach mindset: energized by doing hands-on support with customers and building the process behind it.</li><li>
Track record designing SLAs, ticket routing, and escalation in a way that balances customer empathy with business reality.</li><li>
Background in developer, infrastructure, or auth products, and the MCP/AI-agents ecosystem.</li><li>
AI-pilled: you reach for AI and automation to move fast and keep the customer experience quick.</li></ul>
Bonus Points<ul><li>
Experience supporting self-hosted enterprise customers.</li><li>
Hands-on with modern support tooling like Pylon.</li><li>
Experience with cloud marketplace deployments (AWS/Azure).</li><li>
San Francisco based (or open to relocating).</li></ul>
Join The Movement
We're not just building a product - we're leading a movement to transform AI from just chatbots to agents that can take actions against real systems. This is your chance to be at the forefront of that revolution.
If you want to look back in 5 years and say, &quot;I helped build that&quot;, then we want to talk to you. Ready to make AI actually useful? Apply now!

We are the go-to authority for understanding AI, from AI labs and enterprises to media, investors, and policymakers. Our benchmarks don&rsquo;t just measure the cutting edge of AI, they are actively shaping the frontier.
Our benchmarks and analysis are trusted by hundreds of thousands of users and are the go-to reference for leading AI labs including OpenAI, Google, Meta, NVIDIA and Anthropic, and major publications including the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, the Financial Times and The Economist.
We are a team of 40+, on track to double by end of year, backed by Nat Friedman (GitHub, Meta), Daniel Gross (SSI, Meta), Andrew Ng (Google Brain, DeepLearning.ai, Amazon), Adam D&rsquo;Angelo (Quora, Poe, OpenAI), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face) and other industry leaders.
The Opportunity
Our benchmarks and analysis are what the industry turns to when they need to understand AI capabilities, from AI labs and enterprises to media, investors, and policymakers. This role puts you at the forefront of the AI Frontier &ndash; you won&rsquo;t just observe the cutting edge of AI, your work will define what cutting edge means.
We&rsquo;re hiring Members of Technical Staff to design the evaluations that set the standard for how AI is measured, produce analysis that shapes how companies and the broader industry understand AI, and work directly with the leading AI labs and enterprises who rely on our insights. You&rsquo;ll develop new benchmarking methodologies, manage relationships with some of the most important AI labs and enterprise customers in the world, and help drive the product direction of our platform. The bar for success is becoming a world expert in modern AI technologies.
This is a unique combination of product, research, technical, and client-facing work, suited to highly driven technical generalists who thrive on breadth and ownership. Many of our strongest team members come from top-tier strategy consulting backgrounds, though we hire from a range of disciplines.
You&rsquo;ll work directly with our founders and across the full team. The people who join now will have an outsized role in shaping both our products and the company itself. The coming wave of AI scaling is going to change the world in ways we don&rsquo;t yet understand - and we&rsquo;re offering a front row seat.
What You&rsquo;ll Do<ul><li>AI Benchmarking Product Development: Structure, design and execute projects to evaluate AI systems and technologies, including developing new AI evaluation methodologies and datasets that advance our benchmarking capabilities</li><li>Strategic Analysis of AI: Drive developing reports and data visualizations to communicate complex AI concepts to enterprises looking to shape their AI strategy</li><li>Partner with Leading AI Companies: Collaborate with leading AI companies to support them in benchmarking their technologies, from agentic AI applications to models to hardware.

Team members will be expected to contribute to company strategy and should expect to drive large initiatives that will support us in being the leading AI benchmarking company</li></ul>
What We&rsquo;re Looking For
You have an intense interest in AI, a genuine desire to become a world expert in the field, and strong analytical and coding skills to back it up.
We hire MTS from three backgrounds. You should clearly fit one of these profiles:
Strategy Consulting
Backgrounds include: Management Consultant, Associate, Engagement Manager, Data Scientist, or similar roles at firms like McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or equivalent. Strong preference will be given to candidates with experience within a Data Analytics division such as QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, BCG X or equivalent.
You know how to structure ambiguous problems, build analytical frameworks, and communicate findings to senior stakeholders. You&rsquo;re now looking to apply those skills to something deeply technical. The key differentiator: you have a genuine technical interest in AI and ability to code. You follow model releases, you have opinions on where the technology is heading, and you want to be closer to the subject matter than consulting allows.
AI and Machine Learning
Backgrounds include: ML Engineer, ML Researcher, AI Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Technical PM, Solutions Engineer, Technical Pre-Sales, or similar roles at AI companies or AI-focused teams.
You have hands-on experience with modern AI systems and understand how models work at a technical level. You&rsquo;re looking for a role with more breadth and industry exposure than a pure research, engineering, or PM position, where you can combine technical depth with client-facing work and strategic analysis.
Technical Product Management
Backgrounds include: Founding Engineer, Product Manager, Technical Co-founder, Head of Product, or generalist roles at early-stage AI companies.
You&rsquo;ve built and shipped AI products in a fast-moving environment where you had to operate across research, engineering, product, and commercial work simultaneously. You understand both how AI systems work technically and how they get brought to market. You&rsquo;re looking for a role where that breadth is the job, not a side effect of being early at a small company.
Across all three profiles, we require:<ul><li>3+ years of relevant professional experience</li><li>Strong analytical and critical thinking skills</li><li>Proficiency in Python and data analysis</li><li>Genuine, demonstrable interest and knowledge of Frontier AI. We want people who have informed opinions about where AI is heading, not just people who use AI tools</li></ul>
Why Artificial Analysis?<ul><li>Shape how AI gets built: The leading AI labs track our benchmarks and use them to guide their development priorities. Your work will directly influence the direction of AI.</li><li>Become a world expert in AI: You will evaluate every major model, across every major capability, as they are released. Very few roles offer this breadth of exposure to frontier AI.</li><li>Work with the most important players in AI: You&rsquo;ll manage relationships with teams at the leading AI labs and major enterprises as a trusted, independent voice.</li><li>Join at a defining moment: We&rsquo;re 40+ people, on track to double by end of year, backed by some of the most connected investors in AI. The people who join now will shape the product, the team, and the strategy as we scale.</li><li>Competitive compensation including equity</li></ul>
