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
- Ship fast, learn faster: We deploy daily, not monthly
- Talk to users, shape the roadmap: Sit in with founders on calls that shape what we build
- Train AI agents: Help build LLM-powered testers that explore, learn, and adapt in real time
- Work across the stack: Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, from commit to production
- Turn prototypes into production: Run real experiments on models, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines
What We're Looking For
- Relentless drive: You execute fast, adapt faster
- Hackathon scar tissue: You've shipped projects with no safety net
- Fluency with AI/LLMs: LangChain, vector stores, prompt engineering
- Full-stack firepower: Frontend, backend, infra, no silos
- Product obsession: You care more about outcomes than outputs
- Experimental instinct: You build → test → learn → repeat
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
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.
Skills Required
- Execute quickly and adapt to changing requirements
- Experience shipping projects, particularly in hackathons or with limited support
- Fluency with AI and large language models, including LangChain, vector stores, and prompt engineering
- Full-stack development experience across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
- Product-focused mindset and emphasis on outcomes
- Experimental approach involving building, testing, learning, and iteration
- Experience shipping AI features in a side project
- Experience building a product from zero to one
- Ability to thrive in a chaotic environment with high ownership
What We Do
Duku AI is building autonomous testing infrastructure for the AI era. Its platform uses intelligent agents to simulate real users navigating software, identify critical failures that conventional tests miss, and help teams verify that products work before release. By automating quality assurance and adapting as products evolve, Duku aims to provide a trust layer for AI-written software and modern engineering teams.
