Senior Sales Executive - Strategic API

The Company You’ll Join

At Qloo, our cutting-edge Taste AI technology leverages extraordinary amounts of data—over half a billion records of public figures, places, and things, plus a globe-spanning consumer behavior and sentiment database—to unearth deep insights about consumer preferences. From understanding global travel trends to curating the perfect restaurant recommendation based on your unique tastes, our Taste AI engine sifts through the noise to find the signals that matter. 

And the best part? Qloo's API suite is powered by cultural entities, not personal identities, ensuring our insights are derived without relying on personally identifiable information.

Excitingly, we recently raised our Series C specifically to enhance our overall capabilities with a focus on our GTM staff. This will allow us to expand the boundaries of our Taste AI technology as the TAM and use cases continue to proliferate rapidly. This role will be instrumental in unlocking this next step in our growth. Read more about our recent Series C funding here.
