About us
Encord is the universal data layer for AI that helps 300+ AI teams train and run models on the right data. Our platform indexes, curates, annotates, and evaluates data across the full AI lifecycle, from development through production.
Trusted by Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, Zipline, and more. We're an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of AI and have raised $60M in Series C funding from Wellington Management, CRV, Next47 and Y Combinator.
The role
Encord is scaling rapidly, with strong product-market fit and a clear mandate to significantly accelerate revenue this year. As one of our first quota-carrying hires in London, you'll play a foundational role in building our go-to-market engine.
Reporting to the Head of Sales and working closely with our founders and leadership team, you'll help take a category-defining AI infrastructure platform to market — selling into some of the most advanced AI teams in the world as we expand from core computer vision into Physical AI, one of the next major frontiers in AI.
This is a rare opportunity to join after early traction is proven, but before the GTM motion is fully built.
