Business Development Representative

Basis builds real agents that do real work in the real economy. Our agents operate for hours at a time, performing end-to-end work for some of the largest accounting firms in the world.

We recently raised $100M at >$1B valuation and are racing to deploy the most advanced applied ML at production scale.

Our investors include: Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois & Vinod Khosla), Accel (Miles Clements), Google Ventures, Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross, Adam D'Angelo, Jeff Dean, Jack Altman, Noam Brown, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, Clem Delangue and many other operators/technical leaders.

"Basis is on the frontier of building production-grade, long-horizon agents. They've pushed the limits of what we thought our models could do on real-world, economically valuable, complex accounting tasks. They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI

We're looking for a founding BDR to build our outbound motion from the ground up. Basis has grown entirely through inbound — word of mouth, referrals, customers finding us. Now we're going outbound for the first time, and this is the person who figures out how it works. You'll partner directly with the Director of Business Development and our founding Account Executive team to find the right accounts, crack the messaging, and turn a blank page into a repeatable playbook.

This is a builder role — for someone early in their career who wants to create something, not just execute someone else's system, with a clear path into a closing or leadership role as Basis scales.

📍 Location: NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.
