These systems were built to help humans process customer requests.\nWe believe that era is ending.\nThe next generation of customer communication will be run by intelligent agents that can understand customers, reason across company knowledge and systems, take action, and communicate proactively, not just wait for customers to reach out.\nOpen is the platform for that new world.\nCompanies use Open to deploy autonomous AI agents across chat, email, WhatsApp, and voice, both inbound and outbound. These agents can resolve support requests, follow up with customers, recover missed opportunities, re-engage leads, trigger conversations at the right moment, and execute complex customer-facing workflows end to end.\nOpen does not just help companies respond faster. It gives them an intelligent communication layer that can decide when to engage, what to say, what action to take, and how to move the customer forward.\nOver time, customer communication will stop being a collection of tickets and campaigns managed by separate systems. It will become one intelligent layer that continuously understands, acts, and communicates on behalf of the company.\nOur ambition is to make Open the default infrastructure through which companies communicate with their customers.\nNot another helpdesk.\nThe system of intelligence for customer communication.\nWe are backed by Y Combinator, SpaceTime, and Pioneer Fund.\nThe Role\nWe are hiring a Business Development Representative to open doors in the German-speaking market: researching target accounts, starting conversations with support and CX leaders, and booking qualified meetings for our Account Executives.
