About Hyperscale Founding Account Executive (SF In-Person Preferred)

Hyperscale is building the AI-native intelligence layer for physical operations - starting with trucking carriers. We're a team of ex-Samsara engineers and fleet operators automating the highest-volume office workflows (driver support, load coordination, scheduling) with agentic AI that actually moves the needle. Our products are deployed with some of the largest fleets in the US, autonomously handling ~70% of inbound calls with strong customer satisfaction.

We're a small team, moving fast, backed by top investors and advisors.

We're hiring a Founding Account Executive who will own and close enterprise deals with trucking carriers. You'll work directly with the founders and our Head of BD to build Hyperscale's sales motion from the ground up - defining our sales process, refining our value proposition, and establishing us as the category leader in AI for carrier operations.

• Strong technical aptitude and ability to understand and articulate sophisticated product capabilities
• Excellent storyteller who can translate technical features into business value and ROI
• Skilled at navigating complex organizations and building relationships with diverse stakeholders
