Requirements
Minimum of 10-years experience selling to the HPC or GPU Cloud Infrastructure industry with quota carrying responsibilities and a proven ability to close $10M+ hardware or CAPEX-heavy deals.
Experience selling Supercomputers, AI Accelerators (TPUs/LPUs/GPUs), or high-speed InfiniBand/Optical networking.
Existing relationships within AI Labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI), Neocloud providers (e.g., Coreweave, nscale) and Hyperscalers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI).
Proven ability to sell 'frontier' infrastructure—moving beyond standard CPUs/GPUs and convince stakeholders/buyers of the necessity of Quantum Acceleration.
Ability to navigate the technical complexities of data center integration, including cooling, power constraints, and rack-scale deployment.
An undergraduate degree in Math, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or another relevant technical field (STEM).
