## About the role

AI platforms are now prime targets for fraud: stolen API keys and token theft, distillation attacks, fake signups that drain free credits, and promo and referral abuse. Sardine already protects 450+ institutions, including Coinbase, Chime, and Nubank, from bots and AI-driven fraud, and we’ve launched products built for this market, including AI token fraud detection. The window to lead this category is short, and this role is one of Sardine’s top priorities for our organization. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years in sales, partnerships or business development in cloud, B2B software or SaaS, with a record of consistently exceeding quota
- Highly preferred: Hyperscaler sales experience (ex. AWS, Azure, GCP), ideally selling into financial services or fintech, including cloud marketplaces and co-sell programs
- Highly preferred: Background in fraud, security, identity or trust & safety software
- Working knowledge of the AI infrastructure ecosystem: how neoclouds, inference providers, AI gateways and model labs make money, and where they are exposed to fraud and abuse
- Experience closing direct deals and building partner-sourced revenue across platform, reseller and referral relationships
- Executive presence with founders, CISOs and Trust & Safety leaders, and the ability to build long-term relationships
