Scale AI
Supplies AI training data and builds AI apps
Scale is building AI for the world's most important decisions. From the front lines of national defense to the core of global enterprise, we provide the data engine and agentic infrastructure that powers the next generation of American and allied interests.
As an Account Executive (AE) supporting the Air Force, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and mission-critical production in the Air Force domain. You will lead the charge in deploying agentic AI, meaning autonomous, reasoning systems, into operational workflows.
We are looking for an executive account leader who understands that winning at the Air Force is not about a successful six-month prototype. It is about getting into program budgets. Scale already has proven programs across the Department of War (DoW) and in Air-Force-adjacent work. Your mandate is to take what works, bring it to your buying centers, and convert it into funded, multi-year Air-Force business.
This is an individual contributor role with heavy leadership expectations. You are the CEO of your territory: one accountable owner for the customer and the commercial result.

You'll also receive benefits including, but not limited to: comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, retirement benefits, a learning and development stipend, and generous PTO.

Scale AI supplies the data that AI labs use to train and test their models, and it builds custom AI applications for companies and government agencies such as the Pentagon. It first made its name labeling camera and sensor data for self-driving car companies like Waymo, then worked with OpenAI on InstructGPT, the 2022 forerunner of ChatGPT. Freelancers, some of them doctors and lawyers, write, label, and grade examples through its Outlier platform, and labs pay Scale for this data and for tests of model quality. Clients pay Scale to build AI tools on their own data, and some of those tools run on classified military networks. Alexandr Wang and Lucy Guo founded Scale AI in 2016, and it is based in San Francisco.
