Why Cast AI? Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production. The old way doesn’t work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don’t. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation. Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS. Global team, diverse perspectives We’re headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead. Unicorn momentum In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we’re just getting started. Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure. About the role Kubernetes and cloud spend are two of the fastest-growing line items in enterprise IT, and most companies in France and Southern Europe are still managing both by hand. This role owns that market for Cast AI. You'll lead the French and Southern European business as a hunter: picking the targets, opening the doors, and building pipeline week in, week out. The product already has proven traction across 2,100+ companies. What this territory needs is someone who turns that into new logos. EMEA is one of Cast AI's biggest bets right now. The team is growing, leadership is investing, and the people who join now shape how the region is built. You'll work alongside dedicated sales engineers and a sales leader who treats the team like a squad, not a leaderboard. What'll You Own?

- Hands-on experience running deals with MEDDIC
- A history of successful negotiation and closing, with genuine focus on customer outcomes
- Comfort using AI tools day to day to research, prioritise, and prepare
