## 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
