These are 23 open sales postings at AI companies, grouped by role. Every row was opened live on the employer's own job board on September 26, 2026, and was accepting applications that day. Pay is quoted exactly as printed, because the same-looking number means base salary at one company and on-target earnings at another.

This is an editorial sample, not a full list and not an endorsement. Postings close and ranges change, so open the link before you apply. For what the pay terms mean, read [how OTE and sales pay plans work](/blog/how-ote-and-sales-pay-plans-work), then run a range through the [AI Sales Pay Calculator](/lab/ai-sales-pay-calculator).

## SDR and BDR

## Sales and solutions engineer

Sales and solutions engineers carry the technical side of the deal: discovery, demos, architecture and proofs of concept. They are the bridge from sales to [forward-deployed engineering](/blog/what-is-a-forward-deployed-engineer).

## Account manager

Account managers own existing customers and the revenue that comes from growing them. At usage-priced AI companies, that means consumption as much as renewals.

## Customer success manager

Customer success managers drive adoption after the contract is signed. Several of these carry OTE or commission, a sign the company treats retention as part of the sale.

## How to read this list

**Check the label before the number.** Anthropic's "Annual Salary" is OTE for sales roles. OpenAI's "Estimated Base Salary" is base, with commission on top. Baseten, Sierra and Modal print a range without saying which. Runway and Cohere contradict themselves between header and body. Ask the recruiter which figure is correct before comparing offers.

**Entry-level doors are few, and they are SDR doors.** Of the 23 rows, only Rogo's SDR (0 to 2 years), Legora's BDR (internships welcome) and Clay's ClayDR (open to exceptional entry-level candidates) explicitly invite people without sales experience. Everything else asks for prior quota or customer-facing work. [Breaking into AI sales](/blog/breaking-into-ai-sales) covers how people get from outside into one of those seats.

**Domain knowledge counts.** Harvey's CSM welcomes people from legal firms, Rogo sells to banks and private equity, and Cohere's SLED role wants public-sector sales history. If you come from an industry, look for the AI company that sells into it.

**Location is mostly in-office.** Most rows are on-site or hybrid in San Francisco or New York. Runway, Cohere, Sierra and Modal list remote options.
