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.

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 the UK and Middle East.. This is a unique opportunity to be part of an early-stage, high-growth company building the future of AI/ML infrastructure.
