Industry
Position Group

Cookiy AI is building the AI-native Scale AI. We are a US-incorporated data company with a network of 170M+ everyday people worldwide, selling three things to frontier labs and robotics companies:

  • DATA LABELING & HUMAN FEEDBACK - RLHF, preference pairs, red-teaming, expert evaluation, agent-trace annotation.
  • 2. CONSUMER PRIVATE DATA - real people licensing their own behavioral, conversational and first-person data, with consent.
  • 3. ENTERPRISE PRIVATE DATA - SOPs, knowledge bases, CRM histories, engineering workflows and agent traces: acquired, de-identified, licensed.
  • THE ROLE - 5 to 10 hours a week. Advisory. Paid.
  • We are hiring a part-time Founding Sales Advisor alongside our full-time US sales hire. You are someone senior and currently working in (or recently departed from) the human-data industry who can:
  • Open doors to 3-5 real data buyers at frontier labs or robotics companies
  • - Pressure-test our pricing and packaging against what the market actually pays
  • - Tell us which of the three lines to build first
  • - Join one or two buyer calls a week
  • This is deliberately structured so you can do it without leaving your current role, subject to your own employer's policies. Compensation is a cash retainer plus advisor equity plus commission on anything you source.

  • - You are based in San Francisco. The labs are here.
  • - Comfortable with an early-stage company still choosing between three business lines.
