Nominal powers mission-critical engineering with advanced data infrastructure, real-time observability, and analysis tools — all in one collaborative platform. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
About the role
Every physical system being built today generates enormous amounts of data, and AI is changing what engineers can do with it. Nominal is becoming the intelligence layer for that data, and how we raise, partner, and acquire will directly impact the pace and quality of what we build.

What they're looking for
- 8+ years of experience across investment banking, private equity or growth equity, and corporate development or investor relations at a high-growth technology company
- A track record of closing deals: You've led M&A or strategic investment processes end to end, not only supported them, and you can walk through what you'd do differently
- Real fluency with investors: You've been core to a capital raise or IR program and understand how growth and crossover investors underwrite software businesses
- Strong financial and valuation skills: You build models that hold up in diligence and you're fluent in both financial and SaaS metrics
- Executive-grade communication: You can write the board memo, present to a skeptical investor, and negotiate with a founder across the table, each in the right register
- Judgment and discretion: You handle confidential information carefully and make sound calls with incomplete information
More about this role
Engineers today are building some of the most ambitious machines humanity has ever seen. They should have AI that’s purpose-built for them.
Nominal is building the Hardware Intelligence Platform that gives engineers increased visibility into complex physical systems, helps them make better decisions, and ultimately gets their products into the real world faster. It brings together the systems, data, intelligence, and applications hardware engineering requires to meet the AI moment. Hardware engineering teams use Nominal to simulate, test, manufacture, and operate the physical systems that keep the world moving, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation energy systems and robotics.
