Business Development Representative (US)

Help technical companies discover how they can use AI to answer questions about their products. As part of our growing Commercial team, you'll build the outbound engine that connects product and engineering teams with kapa.ai , the platform that makes it really easy for technical companies to build RAG assistants and deploy them where their users or employees have questions. You will own pipeline generation through proactive outbound outreach to technical leaders, booking discovery calls between them and our Account Executives. This is about picking up the phone and crafting personalized messages to start real conversations with technical leaders about how AI can help them onboard more users, reduce support burden, and build modern product experiences. With 200+ companies now using kapa (including Docker, OpenAI, Reddit and many others), having answered 5+ million technical questions, we've proven this works at scale. Strong interest in AI and the ability to have intelligent conversations about technical topics like RAG are important (we'll help teach you though!).
