About

Founding Account Executive

Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn't been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.

We recently raised an $85M Series B from Benchmark, and we are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We're high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.

Now, we're looking for a Founding Account Executive to help us bring Exa to new verticals & to the world (aka New York City)!
