Why this matters now

AI is rewriting how software gets built. But shipping still breaks on testing. Engineering leaders are desperate to release faster without dropping quality, and they can't get there with manual QA or brittle test automation.

Here's the bigger shift: as AI writes more of the code, the bottleneck moves from generating software to trusting it. Nobody owns that trust layer yet. Duku is building it, autonomous agents that simulate real users, catch critical failures before production, and self-heal as the product evolves.

Backed by experienced operators and investors, we're building what we believe will become a core layer of the modern software stack. We're looking for an exceptional Account Executive to help define the category. Not someone to inherit a playbook. Someone to build one.

What You'll Do

• Help founders drive execution across product, engineering, and operations
• Sit in on user and partner calls and turn what you hear into roadmap input
• Build internal systems that help us scale: GTM ops, product ops, finance workflows, hiring loops
• Pressure-test strategy: market sizing, competitor research, founder briefs
• Own special projects: anything from recruiting to analytics to product shaping
• Work inside the product engine: help spec features, run experiments, support AI-agent evaluation
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Relentless execution: you move quickly, cleanly, without hand-holding
• Founder energy: high ownership, no ego, bias to action
• Analytical sharpness: first-principles thinking and crisp communication
• Curiosity for AI, developer tooling, and autonomous systems
• Calm in chaos: you turn ambiguity into structure
• Comfort working directly with founders on things that matter
  
  

Ideal Background

There's no perfect pedigree. We hire for mindset, not credentials. That said, you might have:

• Shipped AI features in a side project
• Built something from 0 to 1
• Thrived in chaos with high ownership

If you’ve built from scratch before, even better.

Why Now

AI is rewriting software development.

But shipping still breaks on testing.

Engineering leaders are desperate to release faster without lowering quality. They can’t do it with manual QA or brittle test automation. They will need autonomous agents , full stop.

Five years from now, every high-velocity team will depend on AI-native QA. We’re building the platform that gets them there and would love for you to join us.
