Clockwork Systems, founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers, is building software-driven AI fabrics to increase GPU cluster utilization and solve critical challenges in distributed computing. The company delivers cross-stack observability, workload fault tolerance, and performance acceleration for AI infrastructure.
As an Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle from prospecting through close, targeting high-growth AI and infrastructure teams at both cloud-native and enterprise customers. You'll develop and execute strategic account plans, navigate technical conversations around synchronization accuracy, AI workload reliability, and distributed system performance, and represent Clockwork at industry events and customer briefings.
You will partner closely with Sales Engineering, Product, and Founders to shape go-to-market messaging and create feedback loops that inform product direction. This is an early-stage role where you'll help scale the company's sales engine from the ground up.
Ideal candidates have experience selling infrastructure solutions to large enterprises, working with both technical buyers and senior decision makers. You should have a strong understanding of modern cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, cloud platforms), observability, and data infrastructure. Knowledge of AI/ML infrastructure is a major plus. Prior experience working with engineering or data science teams, a track record of meeting quota in technical sales, and the ability to manage complex sales processes with diverse stakeholders are essential. You're passionate about early-stage startups and want to make a meaningful impact.
