## About the role

As the first person on our business team focused entirely on startups, you’ll turn growing interest from founders and technical teams into a business. You’ll win and grow startup customers, design the program and commercial offers to serve them at scale, and bring their needs back to the engineers building the product. Working closely with engineering, our ML teams, and marketing, you’ll have the autonomy to shape how we serve startups. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Sharp commercial judgment, the capability that matters most in this role: you can design an offer or deal structure (credits, usage-based pricing, committed spend) that works for the customer and for Liquid, and walk through its economics
- A track record of selling directly to startups: you have closed deals with founders and technical teams and know how they evaluate, buy, and scale
- Experience selling a technical platform, such as cloud, data, or AI infrastructure, that customers build on rather than a finished application
- Enough technical fluency to earn engineers' respect: you can discuss models, APIs, latency, and cost, ask useful questions, and keep up in technical conversations
- Experience at an early-stage startup
- Experience building a startup, developer, or partner program, or relationships with the VCs, accelerators, and founder communities that feed one
