What the role involves

This is a sales role. Your job is to find buyers, build relationships with compute users, understand what capacity they need, and close transactions.

You will work directly with the founders to build Pluto’s compute sales motion from the ground up. This means sourcing customers, managing the pipeline, negotiating deals, and turning conversations into revenue.

The ideal candidate is hungry, persistent, commercially sharp, and excited to sell one of the most important resources in the AI economy: GPU compute.

What You’ll Do

Sell GPU compute capacity to AI labs, startups, enterprises, research groups, and other compute buyers

Build and manage a pipeline of customers looking for H100, H200, B200, A100, L40S, and other GPU capacity

Source new buyers through outbound, referrals, existing relationships, conferences, and ecosystem mapping

Understand customer needs across GPU type, region, duration, price, networking, storage, and deployment requirements

Match buyers with available compute supply from neoclouds and infrastructure providers

Negotiate pricing, contract terms, volume, duration, and delivery expectations

Own customer relationships from first conversation through close

Work closely with the founders on sales strategy, customer prioritization, and market feedback

Maintain strong relationships with buyers and become their first call when they need compute

Help Pluto understand real-time market pricing, demand, and customer behavior

What We’re Looking For

Strong sales instincts and comfort doing outbound

Ability to build trust quickly with technical and commercial buyers

High urgency, persistence, and willingness to chase deals aggressively

Strong communication and negotiation skills

Ability to operate in an early-stage, ambiguous environment

Comfort selling technical products or services

Deep interest in AI infrastructure, cloud, GPUs, and compute markets

Ability to manage a pipeline, follow up relentlessly, and close revenue

Commercial creativity and willingness to figure things out from zero

Nice to Have

Existing relationships with AI labs, startups, enterprises, neoclouds, brokers, or infrastructure teams

Experience selling cloud, GPUs, data center capacity, infrastructure, SaaS, or technical services

Experience in brokerage, trading, commodities, marketplaces, or financial sales

Understanding of GPU supply and demand dynamics

Familiarity with H100s, H200s, B200s, A100s, L40S, clusters, cloud contracts, or AI workloads

High upside as Pluto scales its compute brokerage and platform business

For the right person, this is a high-leverage sales role with meaningful upside. You will have the opportunity to directly drive revenue, own major customer relationships, and help build the commercial foundation of a new AI infrastructure market.

Why Join Pluto

Compute is becoming the core commodity of the AI economy. AI companies need GPUs, neoclouds need distribution, and the market is still early, fragmented, and inefficient.

Pluto sits directly in the middle of that market.

This is an opportunity to become one of the first dedicated sales hires in a category that is growing extremely quickly. You will help define how GPU capacity is bought, sold, priced, and distributed across the AI ecosystem.

If you want a role where closed deals directly matter, customer relationships are everything, and upside is tied to performance, this is the opportunity.
