Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.
Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.
We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.
We are looking for an Account Executive with experience selling highly technical, developer-focused products to CTOs, VPs of Engineering, software engineers, researchers, and/or data scientists. You thrive in a fast-paced, start-up environment focusing on every step of the sales process, from prospecting, qualifying, and nurturing leads to running demos, negotiating contracts, and closing deals. We want someone who thinks about how to uncover and address our customers’ problems to drive customer acquisition while feeding their requirements back to inform the product roadmap.
This role is based out of our New York City office, with an in-office requirement of at least 3 days per week and occasional team and company offsites.
This role offers $300K OTE, with a 50/50 base/variable split, in addition to meaningful equity.
We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success. Benefits may vary by location, team, and role.
Benefits include:
At Lightning AI, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We believe that diverse teams drive innovation and create better products. We provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. We are dedicated to building a culture where everyone can thrive and contribute to their fullest potential.
