About FuriosaAI

FuriosaAI builds high-performance, high-efficiency AI compute for the Inference Era. Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon. Our vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise.

About the Role

With our flagship product RNGD in mass production, we are seeking a hunter-minded Business & Development Sales professional to create and pursue business opportunities in the US market. Working closely with a global product and development team, you will create pipelines amongst leading frontier AI labs and startups, hyperscalers, and large enterprises; owning the entire sales cycle from creating tangible prospects to closing deals.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle US enterprise sales — prospecting, qualification, technical POC coordination, negotiation, procurement navigation, and contract close
• Build net-new pipeline at frontier AI labs, hyperscalers, and large enterprises running production AI workloads
• Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder buying committees across 6–12+ month cycles involving ML platform leads, infra VPs, CTOs, procurement, legal, and security
• Partner tightly with FuriosaAI Solutions Architects during technical evaluations — you set commercial strategy, they drive technical depth
• Identify and develop strategic partnerships with US-based OEMs, system integrators, and channel partners to extend reach
• Represent FuriosaAI at key US AI events (NeurIPS, SC, Hot Chips, GTC) and in executive briefings to build brand credibility
• Feed US market intelligence back to Seoul HQ product and engineering teams to inform roadmap and GTM positioning

• 100%+ quota attainment in 2 of the last 3 years with presentable deal size and sales cycle length record
• Demonstrated net-new logo acquisition track record of creating new pipelines
• Existing US relationships with AI infrastructure buyers: ML platform leads, infra VPs, or CTOs at frontier labs, hyperscalers, or large AI-native enterprises
• Proven ability to close complex US enterprise deals with multi-stakeholder committees, technical POCs, and lengthy procurement processes
• Passionate and comfortable selling a newer accelerator platform against deeply entrenched incumbents
• Authorized to work in the US; able to travel domestically and overseas as needed

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience at an AI chip startup, GPU vendor, or cloud silicon team
• Existing network at US AI-native scale-ups and sovereign AI/government compute programs
• Familiarity with NPU/GPU accelerator ecosystems, LLM inference infrastructure, and AI data center architecture
• Experience coordinating across global engineering/product organizations
• Background in CS, EE, or related technology field
