About the role
Beam is hiring a Compute Trader to match customer demand with supply across Beam's own hardware and partner datacenters. The role involves sourcing and onboarding suppliers, negotiating terms, verifying capabilities before quoting, structuring deals, and ensuring fleet utilization. Reports to the CEO.
Responsibilities
- Match demand to supply. Take customer requests from our sales team and find the right capacity at a price and term that work for both sides.
- Source and onboard suppliers. Build relationships with neoclouds, independent datacenters, and OEMs around the world. Run diligence, KYC, and export screening before anyone signs.
- Verify before we quote. Confirm GPU type, location, network fabric, operator, and delivery date for every deal. Know how suppliers differ, technically and commercially, and which customers each one fits.
- Structure the deal. Negotiate price, term, deposits, and prepayment with suppliers.
- Keep our fleet full. Maximize utilization of our own clusters, flag renewals early, and re-source capacity before contracts end.
- Read the market. Track pricing by GPU, term, region, and deposit. Turn it into a view on where to buy, when to lock in, and when to own instead of rent.
- Build the process. Create the capacity tracker, pricing book, and supplier scorecards we’ll use as volume grows.
Qualifications
- 2+ years in a sales or trading role, GPU cloud sales, capacity sourcing, datacenter operations, or a related field
- You negotiate hard and hold suppliers to what they promised.
- You verify before you promise. You’d rather slow down a quote than sell capacity we can’t deliver.
- You’re comfortable with ambiguity and move fast without dropping details.
