Founding Sales Engineer

ABOUT FEATHERLESS Featherless. ai ai is building the world's most reliable open-model inference platform. Backed by AMD, Airbus Ventures, 500 Global, Kickstart Ventures, HF0 Residency, Panache Ventures, and Oakseed Ventures, we're a well-funded team of researchers and engineers on a mission to democratize AI through performance and accessibility. Our cloud provides instant access to 40,000+ open-source AI models and the research innovations powering next-generation efficiency, reliability, and model optimization. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring our first Sales Engineer to pair directly with our founding Account Executive in North America. You are the technical half of a two-person deal team: the AE owns the commercial motion, you own the technical win.

Our buyers are developers, ML engineers, and CTOs, and they don't buy on slides. They buy when someone credible sits with them, looks at their workload, and shows them that open models on Featherless are faster, cheaper, and more reliable than what they're running today. That's your job — hands on keyboard, in the customer's stack, from first technical call through production rollout. Because you're the first SE here, you'll build the function as you go: the demo environment, the POC playbook, the benchmark harness, the security answers, the migration guides. Every deal you win should make the next one easier to win. If you like being the person who can actually answer the hard question in the room — and want the technical foundation of a Series A GTM engine to be yours — this is for you.
