About the company
Our client is an early-stage artificial intelligence company building highly accurate detection technology for schools, universities, and other organizations that need to understand whether content was created by people or AI. Its product has demonstrated 99.98% accuracy and is already trusted by leading academic institutions. The company has raised $3.95 million in seed funding, is on track for rapid revenue growth, and operates from Brooklyn with a small, hands-on team.
About the role
We are hiring an Account Executive to own new business across the education market. You will inherit an active pipeline while also building your own opportunities, running the full sales cycle from prospecting through pilots, procurement, negotiation, and close.

- Strong knowledge of education procurement, budgeting, and academic calendar cycles
- Experience owning the full sales cycle, including outbound prospecting and pilots or trials
- Evidence of progression from a business development role into a closing role
- Comfort operating without extensive enablement or a dedicated BDR team
- Willingness to work onsite in Brooklyn five days per week
Nice to have
- Deep experience selling into higher education
- Experience selling into both higher education and K-12 institutions
- Success in a small or early-stage software company
- Familiarity with artificial intelligence, academic integrity, or education technology

Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name Raydar in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).
Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.
