About SambaNova
The product a SambaNova seller carries is inference capacity built on the company's own chip, the RDU: racks installed in the buyer's data center, the SambaStack software that serves models on them, or model access through its SambaCloud service. Quota seats are cut by buyer segment under a VP of Americas: a San Jose seat owns cloud service providers and neoclouds, pitching multi-rack, multi-year capacity on 6 to 18 month cycles, and a New York-based director opens US banks, capital markets firms, asset managers and insurers on deals the posting sizes at seven to eight figures. London wants a VP to run Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa through sub-regional leaders, account executives and solution engineers, across neoclouds, enterprise, government and model makers. Six of the 11 sales-titled openings are technical or post-sale seats: forward deployment engineers in the US, Tokyo and Bengaluru, a networking solutions architect and a senior principal AI solutions engineer in San Jose, and a customer success manager who keeps enterprise accounts through renewal and expansion. By place, 6 of the 11 are in the US and Tokyo holds three, two of them project roles (a grants program manager and an engineering lead for one strategic partner).
