Sales Development Representative - Remote Eligible

Company Overview

At Advex, we're working on solving the hardest problem in computer vision—data collection. In order to train a reliable AI model, you need access to the right training data. The inability to gather the right data has been the primary obstacle in the global adoption of computer vision in mission-critical industries like manufacturing and industrial automation.

Our technology improves model performance by 20-200% for any computer vision task while simultaneously reducing production costs by 10x. Our customers include Fortune 500 manufacturers (like Cognex, BMW, Shell, etc) and some of the fastest-growing startups in the world. We invite you to join us at the ground level as we embark on the rapid expansion of our product offerings and customer base.

Advex is a seed stage tech startup backed by Construct Capital, PearVC, and the founders of Dropbox and Gradient Ventures. Our team comes with over a decade of industry and research experience from top organizations and labs like CMU, Berkeley AI Research Lab, Google Brain, Waymo, and Qualcomm. We've previously founded and sold companies and created products used over 30 million times. Our team has also published research papers and won research competitions at top conferences like ICLR, AAAI, etc.
