Business Development Representative (Chicago)

Company Description Bild is a cloud data management platform built for modern hardware teams, helping them spend more time innovating and designing by automating workflows such as version control, BOM management, and supplier collaboration. The company addresses a major pain point in engineering, where teams can spend over half their time on documentation and administrative tasks rather than core technical work. Bild enables hardware teams to focus on building next-generation products, including 3D-printed homes, lunar rovers, smart household appliances, and advanced virtual reality headsets. As a fast-growing organization, Bild offers team members the opportunity to contribute directly to the tools that power cutting-edge hardware innovation.
