About Krea

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.

We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.

 

This role

We need someone to sell Krea's models directly to other companies, either through our API or as open-weight models they self-host. Your buyer is a developer or product team building something on top of Krea, not a creator using the app. You'll own this from the first conversation to the signed deal.

It's a new motion for us, so you'll be figuring out a lot of it as you go.

What you’ll do

  • Find and close deals with companies who want to use Krea's models in their own products

  • Talk to developers and technical teams, understand what they're building, and help them figure out the right setup — API, self-hosted, custom license

  • Negotiate and close API and licensing deals, including bespoke enterprise terms

  • Work with product and engineering when a deal needs something nonstandard

  • Tell us what's actually blocking deals — pricing, licensing, missing features — so we can fix it

What we're looking for

  • You've closed B2B deals before, ideally to developers or technical teams

  • You've sold API, developer, or infrastructure products, so you're not scared of a conversation about rate limits or licensing terms

  • You can talk to an engineer about how our models work without a solutions engineer holding your hand

  • You're fine building process instead of following one

Nice to have

  • You've sold AI models or ML infrastructure before

  • You know your way around open-source/open-weight licensing

  • You already know people at AI startups or companies building on generative media

  • You're into image/video generation as a space

What we offer

  • Team: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling

  • Impact: Significant scope and company-wide impact

  • Competitive compensation: generous salary & equity packages

  • Health & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverage

  • Time off: Flexible PTO policy

  • Financial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored match

  • Meals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover it

  • Transit: Ubers covered to & from the office

  • Sponsorship: We're open to sponsoring international visas where we can (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).

  • And more!

Please note the above benefits & perks are for full-time employees
