We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.The Opportunity:This is not a typical vertical SaaS role.You will be selling Deepgram’s voice AI infrastructure into restaurant technology platforms (think Toast, Olo, DoorDash, POS/ordering systems) — the companies powering how restaurants operate at scale.Your job is to land and expand strategic platform accounts, embedding Deepgram as the voice layer across their products.This is a true enterprise hunting role: greenfield, high-ownership, and high impact.LocationWe either want you based in San Francisco, where many of our customers and partners are located.

Because of this, benefits will differ by region — in some cases international employees receive benefits US employees do not, and vice versa. As we scale, we will continue to evaluate where we can create more alignment, but a 1:1 global benefits structure is not always legally or operationally possible.Backed by prominent investors including Y Combinator, Madrona, Tiger Global, Wing VC and NVIDIA, Deepgram has raised over $215M in total funding.
