Job description
Description
The digital world never stops. Every video you stream, call you make, swipe, like, or product you buy online runs through data centers, and those consume an enormous amount of energy. That’s where Coolgradient comes in.
We’re a green-tech start-up on a mission to make our digital lives more sustainable. Our solution, GRADIENT Perceptive AI, is a no-code, plug-and-play optimization tool that helps data centers operate more efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. Already in use across the globe, GRADIENT has saved tens of thousands of GWh in energy. And we’re just getting started!
As we scale up, we’re looking for a skilled and motivated Sales Engineer to help expand the reach of GRADIENT and support positive change in how the world powers digital life.
🚀 Your impact zone
As a Sales Engineer, you will serve as a technical specialist helping prospective clients understand the value of our AI platform. Working closely with Sales, Product, and Marketing, you’ll turn complex performance metrics into clear ROI and operational impact.
Key responsibilities:
Provide tailored product demonstrations that highlight real-time insights and optimization capabilities of GRADIENT.
Collaborate on Proof-of-Concept projects with prospective clients, define measurable success criteria (e.g., PUE/energy savings), and lead implementation.
Analyze real deployment data to quantify energy, water, and carbon savings, and create compelling, client-specific business cases.
Develop and maintain standardized and adaptable ROI tools to demonstrate both short- and long-term value.
Act as a technical representative at industry events, webinars, and contribute to marketing materials including whitepapers and case studies.
Collaborate with partners (BMS/DCIM/SCADA vendors, OEMs) and internal teams to ensure seamless integrations and continuous product improvement.
