Encord is the multimodal data layer for physical AI. Manage, curate, annotate, and align petabytes of data - from sensor streams to video to text. Trusted by 300+ AI teams including Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, Zipline, and more. Backed by Y Combinator and CRV.
About the role
Physical AI is our fastest-growing segment. Over the past 12 months, we've grown Physical AI revenue 10x. The companies building the next generation of robotics, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent physical systems have a data problem — and Encord is the only full-stack solution built to solve it. We're now building the founding sales team that will take this to market.
What they're looking for
- A consistent top or near-top performer in your current or most recent sales role
- Comfortable selling technically complex solutions to skeptical, STEM-trained buyers — you don't need to be an engineer, but you can hold the room with one
- Energized by ambiguity and early-stage environments where you have real ownership and real accountability
- A natural relationship builder who earns trust through preparation, follow-through, and genuine curiosity about customer problems
- Entrepreneurial by disposition — you see gaps as opportunities, not blockers
- Resilient, high-output, and genuinely motivated by the quality of your work
