At Dust, we want to provide knowledge workers and teams the tools required to get higher-quality work done, faster.

It's inspiring to imagine how much time we'll save with software that truly 'gets it'. Small tasks. Repetitive tasks. Tasks that will be seamlessly handled when the right context is intelligently shared in real-time.

Most knowledge workers aren’t developers. Software that will really help them has to be powerful and simple to use. It has to fit their needs and personalities nicely. With the right tools, we believe that we can ultimately give the world’s 1 billion knowledge workers 25% of their time back. So they can move on to do more rewarding and interesting things.

We’re excited to build products that humans use to become better versions of themselves. We’re not here to replace humans, though. While we don’t mind a robot analogy, it has to be R2-D2, not Skynet.

While Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude or Mistral Large are already very powerful, they remain unwieldy and, as a result, vastly underused. Rather than focusing on developing new foundation models, Dust is laser-focused on the product experience. We believe that existing models are powerful enough, and that most of the value can be unlocked and delivered to customers by refining product experiences, interfaces, and interactions with applications powered by LLMs and fueled by customer data.

About the team

We’re a small and determined team of optimists that likes to focus on customers, getting great things done by shipping, and doesn’t take itself too seriously while doing so. We want to build a team that remains as small as it can be while serving a growing number of customers incredibly well.

We’ve been founders before. We’ve worked at Stripe, Square, Alan, Front, OpenAI, etc... We know what can happen when a few people feel empowered and work together well with a clear purpose in sight.

This role

As a Sales Account Executive at Dust, you will be instrumental in generating new business opportunities to fuel our sales pipeline. We are looking for a generalist that is comfortable with handling all parts of the sales funnel from lead generation to closing and can wear many hats. Passion for Dust, hunger to learn and motivation to perform are musts for this role.

Joining Dust also means pioneering a new form of Business Development. As a GenAI-native company, Dust aims to illustrate how GenAI can help redefine the experience customers can expect from software and how sales teams can be designed with GenAI in mind.

You’ll contribute to building a new product and category from the ground up in a fast-paced environment that encourages a doer attitude and ownership over outcomes.
