About Featherless

Featherless.ai is building the world’s most reliable open-model inference platform — a serverless foundation for deploying and scaling AI without infrastructure overhead.

Backed by AMD, Airbus Ventures, 500 Global, Kickstart Ventures, HF0 Residency, Panache Ventures, and Oakseed Ventures, we’re a well-funded team of researchers and engineers on a mission to democratize AI through performance and accessibility.

Our cloud provides instant access to 40,000+ open-source AI models and the research innovations powering next-generation efficiency, reliability, and model optimization.

About the Role

We’re looking for a founding member of the US/CA GTM team — someone both technical and entrepreneurial that thrives at the intersection of AI, communication, and execution.

This is not a traditional sales role. You’re expected to be fluent in AI and be able to hold your own in conversations with model creators, AI startups, enterprises, and developers exploring open-model deployment.

If you're a charismatic developer looking to expand into sales or a young entrepreneur that's developed technical skills we want to speak to you.

What You’ll Own Immediately
  • Build & qualify pipeline across enterprises and AI startups

  • Manage inbound requests through chat and email

  • Manage outreach sequences and automations (HubSpot, Clay, Reply.io, n8n)

  • Re-engage existing sign-ups and subscribers; identify high-value users

  • Track CRM, pipeline metrics, and weekly reporting

  • Attend events to generate pipeline and establish key relationships

What You Bring
  • Combined 1-2 years experience in Sales, Developer Relations, or Entrepreneurship

  • Comfortable engaging technical audiences (developers, founders, researchers)

  • AI power user

  • Excellent written and verbal communication in english — concise, credible, human

  • Entrepreneurial and self-driven — you operate independently and get things done

Why Featherless
  • Work directly with exec on high-impact partnerships and GTM strategy

  • Build your network across one of the fastest-growing open AI ecosystems

  • Be part of a small, high-performing team making open weight AI accessible to everyone
