Compensation

  • $150K – $200K • Offers Equity • $150K – $200K Commission

$150-200k, with OTE of $300-$400k. OTE includes both base salary and performance-based pay. We are an early-stage startup, so we favor equity over cash in our current compensation philosophy. You should too, or an early-stage startup might not be for you. That said, we expect cash compensation to progress quickly as the company matures.

About you:

  • Strong Rolodex in Automotive: Experience selling technology products to major OEMs in the automotive ecosystem (e.g., auto OEMs, TierX suppliers, etc.), with a strong network of contacts in these segments.

  • 0→1 Sales Pipeline: Proven ability to build a pipeline from scratch, including identifying key target accounts, stakeholders, and decision-makers within key verticals and target companies.

  • Start-Up Vibes: thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment; self-directed and self-motivated where you are the front line to help define the messaging and product with early customers.

About P-1 AI:

We are building an engineering AGI. We founded P-1 AI with the conviction that the greatest impact of artificial intelligence will be on the built world—helping mankind conquer nature and bend it to our will. Our first product is Archie, an AI engineer capable of quantitative and spatial reasoning over physical product domains that performs at the level of an entry-level design engineer. We aim to put an Archie on every engineering team at every industrial company on earth.

Our founding team includes the top minds in model-based engineering, deep learning, and industries that are our customers. We just closed a $23 million seed round led by Radical Ventures that includes a number of other AI and industrial luminaries. We invite you to join our team of the world’s best engineers and AI researchers, building AI’s most impactful use case.

About the Role:

In this role, you will maintain end-to-end deal ownership of sourcing, developing, and scaling customer relationships with leading industrial firms. You will build and maintain a customer pipeline across target industrial verticals and communicate how our technology helps them meet their engineering and business goals. You will work closely with business development and customer engineering teams to strategize on enterprise deals, ensuring we maintain strong relationships with our top accounts. As our first sales hire, you will be counted on to shape the early sales team and its culture.

This is an opportunity to make a significant impact shaping P-1 AI’s growth at the enterprise level, working with some of the world’s most respected industrial companies.
