Why this role exists
K0rdent AI is the orchestration layer that turns raw, disaggregated GPU infrastructure into a multi-tenant, production-ready AI cloud — without locking companies into a single hyperscaler or hardware vendor. We sell accelerated compute: GPU clusters, bare metal, and managed AI infrastructure to Neoclouds, AI-native startups, enterprise AI teams, research labs, and sovereign/regulated buyers. These are technical, high-value, long-cycle deals where the sale is won or lost on credibility: whether we can architect the right cluster, model the real TCO, prove performance, and de-risk a customer's move onto our platform.
This person owns the technical win. They build and lead the sales engineering function that turns "interested" into signed, multi-year committed-capacity contracts, and they set the pre-sales bar as we scale headcount and deal volume.
This is not a demo-jockey role. We need someone who has genuinely stood up training and inference workloads, argued interconnect topology with a customer's ML infra lead, and closed large deals with cycles measured in quarters, not weeks.
