About the role
About Pareto
Humanity is in a virtuous cycle: human insight improves AI, and better AI expands what people can do. Sustaining it depends on the one input that can't be automated: expert human judgment.
At Pareto, we build the platform that turns that judgment into the data, evals, and RL environments frontier models learn from. We work with leading frontier labs like Anthropic and GDM, and we give skilled people everywhere a way to shape the future of AI and share in what it creates.
This RL environment and human-data infrastructure is already in production. Our job now is to scale it.
About the Role
Pareto is hiring an AI Engagement Manager responsible for owning customer relationships, engagement health, and long-term success across our most strategic AI accounts. This role blends technical credibility with relationship depth — you will manage a portfolio of Tier-1 customers, serving as a trusted advisor to researchers, PMs, and engineering leaders shaping next-generation AI systems. You ensure Pareto remains a valued execution and thought partner across the full customer lifecycle.
