At Iris.ai, we’re building an agentic AI platform that scales expert-level domain knowledge across entire organizations.
For more than a decade, we’ve worked at the intersection of scientific research, industrial data, and applied AI, helping researchers, engineers, and business teams reason over complex technical knowledge.
Our products - Neuralith, Axion, and RSpace - span the full GenAI lifecycle:
Data ingestion across text, tables, figures, and technical formats
Advanced RAG and indexing pipelines
Agentic orchestration and reasoning
Rigorous LLM evaluation and governance
What makes us different: we care deeply about accuracy, evaluation, and responsibility. We don’t optimize for demos and proof-of-concepts we optimize for systems that experts trust and use.
We’re looking for a high-performing Senior AI Sales & Business Development Executive to help execute Iris.ai’s global go-to-market strategy. This is a strategic hunter role ideal for someone who thrives in complex enterprise environments — not just closing deals, but co-creating value with clients over time.
You’ll collaborate closely with Iris.ai’s leadership, marketing, and product teams to identify and engage high-potential enterprise clients across AI, data, and R&D domains. Your focus will be on building trust with senior stakeholders, deeply understanding their challenges and closing 6–7 figure deals across multiple regions and industries.
You will play a key role in guiding prospects through the entire customer journey, working alongside pre-sales engineering to ensure seamless solution delivery — from early qualification to deployment.

If you want to do meaningful work and grow in a culture built on trust, rigor, and fairness — let’s talk.
We’re not your typical tech company. We believe in:
Real transparency — information is shared, context is open, and questions are welcome.
Fairness, designed in policies, opportunities, and growth are aligned across countries and teams.
Ownership and empoweredness to make decisions without micromanagement.
Metrics that guide us — but they never replace human thinking or responsibility
Pay
Compensation that reflects your value. Our salaries are typically 25% above local market averages, ensuring competitive, fair pay across regions and roles. And we review it annually.
Equity
We believe salary helps you get by. Stock options build wealth!
At Iris.ai all colleagues receive ownership in the company, part of our ESOP pool (3%). Because when we grow, you grow — that's what shared success really means.
(Just imagine: Someone once bought a Tesla option for $1 — it's worth $400 today.)
We’ve built our benefits to reflect how we work: with trust, fairness, and room to grow.
