Job description

Clockwork.io – Software Driven Fabrics to increase GPU cluster utilization

Clockwork Systems was founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers who share a vision for redefining the foundations of distributed computing. As AI workloads grow increasingly complex, traditional infrastructure struggles to meet the demands of performance, reliability, and precise coordination. Clockwork is pioneering a software-driven approach to AI fabrics by delivering cross-stack observability to catch and quickly resolve problems, workload fault tolerance to keep jobs running through failures, and performance acceleration that dynamically routes and paces traffic to avoid congestion.

We’re seeking a high-performing, technically adept Account Executive to execute go-to-market strategies tailored to UK and Europe. This is a unique opportunity to be part of an early-stage, high-growth company building the future of AI/ML infrastructure. If you excel in dynamic environments, are passionate about cutting-edge technology, and want to play a foundational role in shaping our go-to-market strategy in the region, we’d love to connect.

What You Will Do

• Own and manage the end-to-end sales cycle for UK and Europe.
• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, targeting high-growth AI and infrastructure teams
• Develop and execute strategic account plans for both cloud-native and enterprise customers
• Partner closely with Sales Engineering, Product, and Founders to shape GTM messaging and feedback loops
• Navigate technical conversations around synchronization accuracy, AI workload reliability, and distributed system performance
• Represent Clockwork at industry events, AI/ML conferences, and customer briefings

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in selling infrastructure solutions to large enterprises - both technical buyers as well as senior decision makers; (startup experience is a plus)
• Strong understanding of modern cloud-native architectures (e.g., Cloud, Kubernetes), observability, data infrastructure
• Knowledge of or deep familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure is a major plus
• Prior experience working with engineering or data science teams
• Track record of meeting or exceeding quota in a competitive technical sales environment
• Ability to manage complex sales processes and communicate value to both technical and business stakeholders
• Passion for early-stage startups and desire to make a meaningful impact
• Experience selling into the UK and Europe markets preferred
• Experience selling infrastructure solutions (storage, networking, compute) and familiarity with the GPU cloud landscape, including hyperscalers and NeoClouds. Background in infrastructure-driven, AI-focused environments is strongly desired.
• Bi-lingual or multi-lingual candidates are a strong plus.
• Proven experience building and scaling the European market from the ground up, including opening new territories and establishing early customer traction.
• A friendly and inclusive workplace culture.
• Competitive compensation.
• A great benefits package.
