About KreaAt Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.This roleWe need someone to sell Krea's models directly to other companies, either through our API or as open-weight models they self-host. Your buyer is a developer or product team building something on top of Krea, not a creator using the app. You'll own this from the first conversation to the signed deal.It's a new motion for us, so you'll be figuring out a lot of it as you go.What you’ll doFind and close deals with companies who want to use Krea's models in their own productsTalk to developers and technical teams, understand what they're building, and help them figure out the right setup — API, self-hosted, custom licenseNegotiate and close API and licensing deals, including bespoke enterprise termsWork with product and engineering when a deal needs something nonstandardTell us what's actually blocking deals — pricing, licensing, missing features — so we can fix itWhat we're looking forYou've closed B2B deals before, ideally to developers or technical teamsYou've sold API, developer, or infrastructure products, so you're not scared of a conversation about rate limits or licensing termsYou can talk to an engineer about how our models work without a solutions engineer holding your handYou're fine building process instead of following oneNice to haveYou've sold AI models or ML infrastructure beforeYou know your way around open-source/open-weight licensingYou already know people at AI startups or companies building on generative mediaYou're into image/video generation as a spaceWhat we offerTeam: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative toolingImpact: Significant scope and company-wide impactCompetitive compensation: generous salary & equity packagesHealth & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverageTime off: Flexible PTO policyFinancial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored matchMeals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover itTransit: Ubers covered to & from the officeSponsorship: We're open to sponsoring international visas where we can (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).
