Runpod is the foundational platform for developers to build and run custom AI systems that scale. With over 500,000 developers worldwide and an annual recurring revenue run rate exceeding $120M, Runpod operates at the intersection of developer velocity and production-scale AI. Founded in 2022, we’ve grown rapidly by building infrastructure purpose-built for modern AI workloads. Our platform enables teams to move from experimentation to deployment with flexibility across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. As a remote-first, globally distributed company, we are building the infrastructure layer that powers the next generation of AI systems.
As an Account Executive at Runpod, your mission is to drive new strategic deals with enterprise and high-growth customers. You’ll focus on acquiring and closing new strategic customers, expanding Runpod’s presence across key market segments, negotiating complex contracts, and closing high ARR deals centered on Runpod’s AI infrastructure offerings. You must be a consultative seller who understands how to map infrastructure and AI/ML use cases.
Success in this role is measured by your ability to consistently meet or exceed new annual recurring revenue (ARR) and bookings quotas, while maintaining strong deal velocity, win rates, and healthy average deal sizes. You’ll be expected to manage a robust pipeline and to demonstrate accuracy and discipline in forecasting and pipeline management. Additional performance indicators include the ability to shorten sales cycles, develop strategic partnerships, and generate high-quality customer introductions and referrals that contribute to sustained revenue growth.
