We’re creating a new category of AI-native creative tooling: a collaborative workspace where humans and agents generate, edit, and orchestrate images and videos together. Instead of jumping between fragmented tools, prompts, and workflows, Melius gives artists, creators, and teams a single canvas to direct AI systems end-to-end. Our platform combines real-time collaborative infrastructure, multimodal AI models, and agentic workflows to help brands, studios, and creative teams scale high-quality creative output faster than ever before. We’re based in New York City, backed by top-tier investors, and focused on building one of the defining creative software companies of the AI era. ## THE ROLE We're looking for a Sales Development Representative to help build the top of our sales funnel and introduce Melius to the world's most innovative brands. As one of our earliest GTM hires, you'll identify and engage creative leaders, marketers, and AI-forward teams through highly personalized outbound. You'll work closely with founders to build a repeatable outbound motion, experiment with new prospecting strategies, and play a key role in shaping how Melius goes to market. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own outbound prospecting across email, LinkedIn, phone, and other creative channels. - Research target accounts and craft highly personalized outreach to senior marketing, creative, and brand leaders. - Generate qualified meetings for the sales team and consistently exceed pipeline goals. - Build account plans and identify buying signals across enterprise organizations. - Experiment with new outbound strategies, messaging, tooling, and AI workflows to improve conversion rates. - Work closely with founders to refine ICPs, messaging, and sales playbooks. - Maintain a clean, organized CRM and continuously improve outbound processes. - Represent Melius with professionalism, curiosity, and strong product knowledge. ## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 1–3 years of experience in sales development, business development, or a customer-facing role at a high-growth startup or SaaS company. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to craft thoughtful, personalized outreach. - Highly motivated, resilient, and comfortable with high-volume outbound. - Curious, coachable, and eager to continuously improve your craft. - Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. - Excited to experiment with AI tools, automation, and modern outbound techniques. - Interest in AI, creative technology, marketing, or enterprise software is a strong plus. - Ambition to grow into an Account Executive or broader GTM leadership role over time. - Comfortable working in-person from our NYC office 5 days a week. ## COMP / BENEFITS - Competitive salary + meaningful equity ownership - Medical, dental, and vision coverage - Wellness benefit (gym, massages, etc.) - All meals covered - Unlimited PTO ## About Melius ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Melius is a visual canvas and platform where creative professionals and AI agents collaborate to generate, iterate, and compose images, video, audio, and text. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: New York, United States - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Arnav Ramu (Co-Founder & CEO), Young Kim (Co-Founder), Joowon Kim (Co-Founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Creative Software, AI Agents, Media & Entertainment - **Target customers**: Creative professionals (marketers, designers, filmmakers, content creators), agencies, e-commerce teams, and GTM/growth teams. - **Mission or purpose statement**: "The creative canvas where humans and agents create together." The company aims to let users act as creative directors while AI agents handle execution, eliminating the need for prompt engineering. ## Products & Services - **Melius Canvas**: An infinite, multiplayer canvas where users arrange "nodes" (text, image, video, file, group) and wire them together with "edges" to compose multi-step generative workflows. Every prompt is exposed, and every output is editable. - **Agent "Mel"**: A built-in AI agent that users brief in natural language. Mel handles model selection, prompt writing, and workflow assembly across multiple models. - **Supported Models**: Integrates with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Flux, Seedream, Nano Banana, Veo, Sora, Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, and more. - **Magic Resize**: A feature to take one winning asset and automatically reformat it for every platform. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: Revenue-generating (founders have stated "we have revenue" on LinkedIn); currently in Seed stage per F4 Fund. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by F4 Fund (a seed-stage venture firm focused on media & entertainment). Partnering with Contra for a $10,000 challenge. - **Growth Signals**: Very early stage with massive momentum. LinkedIn shows a 42.9% monthly headcount growth (4 employees as of mid-2026). Website traffic grew +1,827.3% month-over-month. Actively hiring founding engineers and founding GTM roles. ## Competitive Advantages - **Agent-First Canvas**: Unlike single-model tools, Melius provides a tunable, multimodal node-based canvas where users can inject their taste at any step in the workflow. - **Multiplayer & Agent Collaboration**: Built for real-time collaboration between humans and AI agents, not just human teams. - **Model Agnosticism**: Access to all major image, video, audio, and language models from one interface, letting users pick the best tool for each task without switching platforms. - **No Prompt Engineering**: The "Mel" agent abstracts away prompt engineering, letting users focus on creative direction. ## Strategic Focus - **Product Velocity**: Rapidly shipping new features and model integrations (e.g., GPT Image 2, Happy Horse 1.0, Veo 3.1, Magic Resize). - **Community & Talent**: Running challenges (e.g., Contra partnership) to attract creative developers and build a community. Aggressively hiring to scale the small team. - **Vertical Expansion**: Targeting specific use cases (e-commerce product shots, agency concept work, GTM campaign creative) while staying platform-agnostic. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: A high-agency, fast-shipping startup environment. The team is tiny (4 people) but growing, meaning early employees will have outsized impact on product and culture. - **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Based in New York, NY. Hiring for NYC-based roles (founding engineers, founding GTM). - **Notable Perks**: Founders are offering a $25,000 referral bonus for new hires. The company has revenue and ships "incredibly quickly." Working directly with the co-founders (ex-Scale AI, ex-Nike, ex-Google, ex-Snowflake talent pool). - **Engineering Culture**: Building a creative canvas that integrates with cutting-edge AI models. The tech stack includes Brex and Ramp. Ideal for engineers who love creative tools, AI, and fast iteration. ## Sources 1. [melius.com](https://melius.com/) 2.
