At QuantAQ, our mission is to mitigate global air pollution.

As a company, we value the role that fundamental scientific and engineering research play in developing new technologies while doing so with the knowledge that what we build must scale if we want to meet our goals.

At QuantAQ, we provide access to professional-grade air quality data to a variety of clients (including research, government, and the private sector) to empower informed decision-making and to create cleaner (air) outcomes. We provide our clients with everything they need to build and manage distributed air quality sensor networks at scale including our proprietary air quality sensors (developed through years of R+D at MIT and Aerodyne Research) and our integrated software platform. We care deeply about using innovative technologies and socio-technological approaches to help businesses, governments, and community stakeholders obtain actionable air quality information across a variety of contexts.

If you're looking for an opportunity that allows you to highlight your own skills and solve one of society's most pressing environmental challenges, we would love to hear from you. To learn more about QuantAQ, check out our Climatetech Summit video.

What we're looking for

QuantAQ is seeking an experienced Sales Lead to lead the company’s sales efforts and move from founder-driven to a more sustainable and high-growth sales approach.
