Our mission
Aquabyte is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea and preserve for generations to come.
We are a diverse, mission-driven team that is eager to work alongside kindred spirits. If this vision makes you smile, gives you goosebumps, or otherwise inspires you please get in touch.
Our product
We are currently focused on helping salmon farmers better understand their fish populations and make environmentally-sound decisions. Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect the health status, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.
Above all, Aquabyte is a customer-driven company. Our product development is dictated by the needs of fish farmers and we prioritize customer delight in everything we do. We are committed to build a global, collaborative team that creates value far beyond Silicon Valley.
Our role
To achieve our ambitious and global goals, we are looking for an experienced and commercially minded person to fill the newly established position of Senior Sales Manager. This role will be crucial when we build radically better decision-making systems for aquaculture worldwide.
Our sales organization is still in the development process, and here you will find all opportunities to influence and take responsibility. You will immediately be responsible for developing long-term relationships with existing and new customers. Therefore, your ability to connect with key business leaders and stakeholders is critical. You will also be our link between customers and our interdisciplinary teams to ensure deliveries that create excitement.
