Account Executive

About Paradigm

Paradigm is a new type of spreadsheet for automating manual research with agents. We are based in San Francisco and is backed by 7M+ from General Catalyst, Y Combinator, and the best builder/operators out there including cofounders of Ramp, Dropbox, and more.

Our team is small and talent-dense. We are serial builders who have worked and studied at Google, MIT, Microsoft, Penn, Citadel, Bridgewater, Vercel, and more.

The spreadsheet interface is just the beginning. Our mission is to build a new type of agent-centric workspace that massively increases the productivity of knowledge workers. If you want to work on frontier AI systems that tackle meaningful real-world challenges and push the boundaries of what intelligent software can do, apply to join us.
