Business Development Lead

HUD is building infrastructure to create RL training data and evals for frontier AI agents, as well as a marketplace to sell these to frontier labs through the HUD marketplace. Our platform is used by frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. We’ve raised $15M from top VCs and were YC W25.

HUD's product sells itself to the right person. Your challenge is finding and selling to them at scale.

The buyers of HUD’s data are ML engineers, AI researchers, and engineering leaders at frontier labs and enterprises. They respond not to traditional SaaS outreach, but to someone who understands what they're building, why their current eval pipeline is broken, and how HUD fixes it.

That’s why we’re looking for a Business Development Lead who can both carry technical conversations and close - and do so at scale. We’re looking for systems builders, not just salespeople.
