Senior Account Executive

80% of internet traffic consists of images & videos, but rather than being an asset, visual content is often a tax or even a liability because it is so hard to work with and understand.  Coactive’s Multimodal Asset Platform leverages AI to make it easy for data teams to enrich (label), search, & analyze visual content.  As a result, Media companies can help their customers find more relevant breaking news, Retailers can accelerate their campaign production processes, and Social Media companies can automate content moderation.

Coactive was founded by experts who shaped the fields of high-performance deep learning and data-centric AI. We have the scars from building and working with the first generation of modern machine learning systems at Google, Meta, Pinterest, eBay, Lyft, and other leading organizations. Through our decades of experience, we have developed a playbook to democratize the toughest parts of machine learning systems.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work with one of Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Start-Ups companies, backed by key investors such as a16z, Bessemer Ventures, Cherryrock Capital, and Greycroft. This position is truly a chance to be part of a category-defining team that is attracting top-tier talent interested in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI.
