Account Executive – Scientific Computing Solutions at Vorticity (S19)$120K - $180K •
The Fastest Scientific Computing Platform on the Planet
About Vorticity
As passionate scientists and engineers, we are well aware of the plethora of critical problems in the world that cannot be solved because humanity simply does not have enough computing power. To address this, Vorticity is developing a radically new silicon chip architecture and system to dramatically accelerate scientific computing problems.
Vorticity’s mission is to expand human ingenuity. To do that we are building a team of exceptional people to work together on big problems. Join us!
About the role
Vorticity delivers GPU‑accelerated, high‑performance‑computing (HPC) software for three data‑intensive domains:
-
Molecular Dynamics (MD) Platform – A one‑stop cloud service that lets drug‑discovery teams set‑up, run and analyze large‑scale MD simulations without touching HPC infrastructure.
-
Mineral Exploration – The world’s fastest 2D/3D airborne‑EM inversion engine for mineral exploration, running 100× faster than traditional CPU workflows and cutting borehole requirements by up to 50 %.
-
Energy Exploration – An elastic Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) solution for energy companies that delivers 10× faster results, drastically reducing multi‑million‑dollar compute bills and scales to thousands of GPUs.
As an OutboundAccount Executive, you will own net‑new revenue across all three product lines. You’ll quickly learn the value proposition of our products and convey that to prospective customers, while driving the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, with the help of our technical team.
What You Will Do
-
Pipeline & Prospecting – Identify and qualify enterprise opportunities in biotech / pharma, mining & exploration, and energy.
-
Discovery & Value Mapping – Engage scientists, technical leaders, and economic buyers to uncover pain points (e.g., compute bottlenecks, drilling risk) and map them to Vorticity’s value prop.
-
Solution Demos & PoCs – Work cross functionality with Vorticity’s product teams to coordinate demos that highlight time‑to‑answer, cost savings, and workflow compatibility.
-
Conference Presence – Represent Vorticity at major events (ACS, SEG, PDAC, etc.), deliver technical talks or posters, and convert booth traffic into qualified leads.
-
Voice of Customer – Channel market feedback to Product & Engineering to influence roadmap.
What You Bring
-
4+ years quota‑carrying success selling technical SaaS, cloud HPC, or engineering software to middle market and enterprise customers.
- Able to converse credibly about at least one of: molecular dynamics, geophysical inversions, or seismic imaging, and quickly learn the others.
- Track record of closing multi‑stakeholder six‑figure (or larger) deals and navigating legal / procurement at mid‑market and enterprise accounts.
- Familiarity with cloud consumption models (AWS, GCP, Azure) and GPU economics.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and consultative selling skills.
- Bachelor’s degree in a business or scientific field.
Nice to Have

- Flexible PTO
- Daily lunch and snacks at HQ.
- Opportunity to shape a category‑defining tech
Technology
Our fully integrated system is built from the ground up for scientific computing. We are innovating at every level - from silicon design, to memory, power delivery, cooling to new algorithms and system architectures to solve a myriad of scientific problems. Problems we currently solve include but are not limited to: Small molecule drug discovery for critically ill oncology patients, discovering ideal locations to store CO2 after capture to stave off climate change and designing the next generation hypersonic aircraft.
