Advanced laser communications for global high-throughput data transfer. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
EON is hiring a dedicated commercial hire to build and close EON's early wholesale capacity pipeline. At a high level, you will be directly responsible for selling to key customers and partners. You'll own the full cycle, from account targeting through contract close, working directly with EON's founders and technical team to translate satellite and capacity specs into commercial terms buyers can act on.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years selling wholesale capacity, subsea cable, dark fiber, spectrum, or carrier-grade network services
- Track record closing large, multi-year contracts (not high-velocity/high-volume deals)
- Comfortable running a consultative, technical sale with network architects and engineers in the room, not just procurement
- Able to translate technical infrastructure specs into business terms for both technical and executive audiences
- Preferred Experience
- Hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft, Google) — network architecture and capacity planning teams evaluating route diversity and resilience for critical infrastructure
More about this role
EON is building the highest-throughput point-to-point data transport network ever deployed in space. Using free-space laser links in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), we move petabytes of data between any two points on Earth as an alternative to subsea or terrestrial fiber. EON recently closed a $10.75M seed financing round led by Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst in their first-ever co-led space deal. EON is building out of its R&D center in Culver City.
Today, approximately 95% of the global internet travels through a few hundred subsea fiber-optic cables, infrastructure designed in the early 2000s that has gone largely unchanged. Demand for new fiber has never been higher, but laying it is extraordinarily difficult: permits, ocean geology, and geopolitical boundaries make every new cable a years-long, billion-dollar undertaking. That bottleneck is a liability with cables at constant risk of being cut, whether by accident or adversarial action, and no amount of ground-based investment can fully solve it.
