Goodfire
ApplyGoodfire is an AI interpretability research lab. We build interpretability agents and infrastructure to understand, monitor, and align AI models.
We believe that AI is the most consequential technology of our time. Yet AI models are trained by trial and error today, with limited understanding of what drives their behavior. Our goal is to advance the research and technology needed to fully understand and align AI so humanity can trust superintelligence.
Goodfire is a public benefit corporation founded by researchers who helped pioneer the field of interpretability at OpenAI and Google DeepMind. We are headquartered in San Francisco and have raised over $200M from leading investors including Lightspeed, Menlo, and B Capital.
We're looking for an Account Executive, Life Sciences to create and close strategic partnerships with the teams using AI to transform drug discovery, biology, clinical development, and the broader life sciences ecosystem. This role demands consultative selling ability, technical curiosity, and domain judgment: the ability to understand how life sciences organizations are building models and where Goodfire can create concrete value.
This is a high-autonomy role where you will help define our Life Sciences go-to-market motion from the ground up. You will own strategic accounts end to end: identifying high-potential organizations, building relationships with technical and executive buyers, partnering with the Field Team to scope pilots, negotiating commercial terms, and expanding successful engagements into long-term partnerships.
Our buyers are Heads of AI, CTOs, research leaders, and technical executives inside organizations trying to use frontier models in high-stakes scientific workflows. You'll need to be thoughtful, technically curious, direct, and credible enough to earn trust with people applying AI to some of the most complex problems in the world.
Goodfire is looking for individuals who embody our values and share our deep commitment to making interpretability accessible. We are building a team first and foremost.

Improve constantly
We are constantly looking to improve every piece of the business. We proactively critique ourselves and others in a kind and thoughtful way that translates to practical improvements in the organization. We are pragmatic and consistently implement the obvious fixes that work.
Take ownership and initiative
There are no bystanders here. We proactively identify problems and take full responsibility over getting a strong result. We are self-driven, own our mistakes, and feel deep responsibility over what we’re building.
Action today
We have a small amount of time to do something incredibly hard and meaningful. The pace and intensity of the organization is high. If we can take action today or tomorrow, we will choose to do it today.
We are hiring for this position in our San Francisco HQ. We are in person 5 days a week, with one company-wide remote week per month.
This role offers market competitive salary, equity, and competitive benefits.
Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to join a vital mission at an important point in its trajectory — we are developing groundbreaking technology with a world-class team on the critical path to ensuring a safe and beneficial future for humanity. If you want to do your life’s work with us, even if you believe you do not meet every single requirement, apply now.
