About Beam

AI-Native Cloud Platform. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

AI companies that need a few dozen to a few hundred GPUs have a hard time getting them. The largest providers prioritize bigger deals, and the rest of the supply is spread across hundreds of datacenters worldwide. Beam closes that gap. We’re hiring a Compute Trader to match customer demand with that supply. You’ll find capacity across our own hardware and our partners’ datacenters, negotiate the terms, and make sure we can deliver what we sell. You’ll report directly to our CEO. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 2+ years in a sales or trading role, GPU cloud sales, capacity sourcing, datacenter operations, or a related field
  • You negotiate hard and hold suppliers to what they promised
  • You verify before you promise. You’d rather slow down a quote than sell capacity we can’t deliver
  • You’re comfortable with ambiguity and move fast without dropping details
More about this role

Beam is building the fastest cloud runtime for AI. Our serverless runtime launches GPU-backed containers in under a second, powering apps that scale to millions of users. Ambitious startups and Fortune 100 companies use Beam to host custom ML models and run LLM-generated code in secure sandboxes. We also provide dedicated GPU clusters to AI companies that need bare-metal capacity. That capacity comes from a network of datacenter partners and, increasingly, from our own hardware.

Beam serves millions of requests a day for hundreds of companies in production. We’re backed by Y Combinator, Tiger Global, and prominent developer-tool founders, including the founder of Snyk and the former CTO of GitHub.
