About the Role
Fireworks is building the fastest and most scalable generative AI platform in the world. We help leading startups and enterprises deploy open-source and custom LLMs in production with best-in-class performance, latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by Sequoia, Lightspeed, and Benchmark, Fireworks is trusted by GenAI-native companies like Cursor, Vercel, Genspark, and others across healthcare, finance, and developer tooling. We’re past $300M+ ARR and growing fast. Join us to define how GenAI gets adopted in the real world.
We’re hiring an AI Native Account Executive to drive adoption of Fireworks within the most ambitious GenAI startups. You’ll engage deeply with technical founders, ML leads, and product teams — helping them understand how Fireworks fits into their stack and guiding them through evaluation, onboarding, and scale-up. This isn’t a traditional transactional sales role: we’re looking for someone who can speak credibly to technical teams, identify high-impact use cases, and relentlessly pursue value creation for the customer. You’ll work cross-functionally with GTM engineers, product, and applied ML to unblock adoption, accelerate time to value, and grow usage in your accounts.
