  • Experience at an AI data vendor and existing relationships with AI lab research, post-training, or data teams.
  • Comfort with early-stage ambiguity and a founder-led working environment.
  • Healthcare or clinical data exposure and enterprise AI sales experience are helpful.
  • US work authorization valid for at least 24 months is required. TN, F-1 OPT or STEM OPT, and H-1B transfers are accepted; new H-1B sponsorship is not available.
