You will work closely with our Sales, Customer Success, and Product & Engineering teams to ensure successful customer engagements.

Our culture

• Small, High-Impact Team: Join a team of alumni from Stripe, Square, OpenAI, and other top tech companies. We're intentionally keeping our team small and mighty – every individual has massive scope and impact.
• Transparency & Collaboration: Our repository is open source, and we leverage serendipity between team members. We believe the best ideas emerge when the team shares information and insights openly.
• Proactive Problem‑Solving: If you see something broken, fix it—without waiting for permission. We don't wait for solutions - we create them.
• Ship to Learn: We move fast and learn from real user feedback.
• Intellectual Humility: We value strong convictions balanced with open‑mindedness. Team members confidently advocate for their ideas while remaining receptive to new perspectives and evidence that might change their minds. If new data emerges, we adapt quickly.

• Create and configure custom LLM agents in Dust to demonstrate practical applications

• Represent the voice of the customer with Product & Engineering teams to ensure insights and feedback are being implemented into product strategy

• Educate customers on how to maximize value from generative AI within their workflows

Location

We're prioritizing building our team with an in‑person culture at our offices in Paris, San Francisco, and New York because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together.

We have an office‑first culture. Some of the best things about building at Dust are the energy, the fast decisions, and the unexpected conversations that unlock a hard problem, which happen because we are in the same room. Being together is not a formality; it is how we do our best work, and it is something we actively protect.

That said, we hire people with strong judgement and we extend that trust to how they manage their time. When working from home makes more sense for what you need to get done that day, we trust you to make that call.

Learn how we think and work.

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
