About Gladia

Gladia builds the audio AI infrastructure behind the new generation of voice products. Our mission is to give every voice platform true conversational intelligence — the audio infrastructure that understands every conversation, turning voice into the world's most valuable data layer.

Our API turns real-world conversational audio into accurate, structured, real-time output — powered by our proprietary Solaria ASR, across 100+ languages, with industry-leading latency.

Hundreds of companies build their voice products on Gladia — from meeting assistants and voice agents to sales-enablement and contact-center platforms. We started in Paris, our growth is developer-led and heavily US-driven (and we're going after the US market hard).

Headquartered in vibrant tech hubs like Paris and New York City, Gladia has been by OVH Groupe — Europe's leading cloud provider — and now operates as a fully autonomous brand and company within the Group.

We're guided by four values:

• Honest — Say the real thing, kindly.

• Smart — Work smart, ship fast.

• Builders — Own your scope, build to last.

• Caring — Support people, take pride in the craft.

Our Sales team targets and closes new business with Gladia's most strategic customers and prospects. As an AE, you'll uncover the challenges organisations ( voice agents, meeting assistants, contact-center platforms) face when they build and run Speech AI at scale and land the right Gladia solution for them. You'll sell a technical, usage or contract based API product to engineering and business stakeholders. Based in Paris. Reporting to Head of Sales.

The role

• Work alongside Forward Deployed Engineers in complex Sales cycles and Gladia evaluations

• Identify the real business drivers behind every opportunity, and qualify hard.

• You build your own pipeline — you can show the method, not just the results.

• Experience selling to engineers and IT decision-makers.

• Strong knowledge of sales methodologies (MEDDICC, BANT, or similar).

• Experience winning new logos in an innovative tech environment (SaaS, API, dev tools, IT infrastructure or similar).

• Collaborative problem-solver, with high standards, proactivity and genuine curiosity.
