Full Job Description
This role

We 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 do
  • Find and close deals with companies who want to use Krea's models in their own products
  • Talk to developers and technical teams, understand what they're building, and help them figure out the right setup - API, self-hosted, custom license
  • Negotiate and close API and licensing deals, including bespoke enterprise terms
  • Work with product and engineering when a deal needs something nonstandard
  • Tell us what's actually blocking deals - pricing, licensing, missing features - so we can fix it
What we're looking for
  • You've closed B2B deals before, ideally to developers or technical teams
  • You've sold API, developer, or infrastructure products, so you're not scared of a conversation about rate limits or licensing terms
  • You can talk to an engineer about how our models work without a solutions engineer holding your hand
  • You're fine building process instead of following one


Nice to have
  • You've sold AI models or ML infrastructure before
  • You know your way around open-source/open-weight licensing
  • You already know people at AI startups or companies building on generative media
  • You're into image/video generation as a space
What we offer
  • Team: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling
  • Impact: Significant scope and company-wide impact
  • Competitive compensation: generous salary & equity packages
  • Health & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverage
  • Time off: Flexible PTO policy
  • Financial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored match
  • Meals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover it
  • Transit: Ubers covered to & from the office
  • Sponsorship: We're open to sponsoring international visas where we can (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).
  • And more!

Please note the above benefits & perks are for full-time employees
