About Tavus

Personified Application Layers that see, hear, and respond face-to-face in real time. Build and deploy with our API, no-code PAL Maker, or enterprise Solutions. Interactive AI avatars and conversational video reimagined. Backed by Sequoia, Y Combinator and CRV.

About the role

Tavus is scaling fast on the back of our Series B, and pipeline is the engine. As a Business Development Representative , you’ll own the top of our funnel: hunting the developers, product leaders, and GTM executives building the next generation of AI-powered experiences. You’ll run an AI-native outbound motion : signal-based prospecting, deeply personalized multi-channel outreach, and, naturally, using your own AI replica to sell the very product you represent.

What they're looking for

  • • 1–2 years in a BDR, SDR, or event-driven sales role, ideally at an AI, developer tools, or API-first SaaS startup
  • • Strong verbal and written communication skills: you can hold your own with a staff engineer evaluating our API and a VP of CX evaluating ROI in the same day
  • • AI-native by default : you already use AI tools daily to research, write, and automate, and you’re energized by building outbound systems, not just working a list
  • • Comfortable with the modern outbound stack (Clay, Apollo, HubSpot, and sequencing/engagement tools), or eager to learn quickly
  • • Experience attending, organizing, or working conferences, events, or trade shows
  • • Passion for AI, startups, and emerging technology, you follow the space and have opinions about it
