ABOUT MELIUS

Melius is building the creative canvas for agents.

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.

- 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.
