Principal Sales Engineer

G42 Americas is a global artificial intelligence and technology group with its origins in Abu Dhabi, rapidly growing its presence in the US, Europe and other global markets. We are building a vertically integrated AI powerhouse with an ambition and a proposition on par with the world's leading hyperscalers, spanning AI data centers, hyperscale AI cloud infrastructure and frontier AI applications.

At the core of that ambition is a simple idea: G42 is building the world's AI token factory and AI agent factory, the industrial-scale infrastructure that produces intelligence, and the platforms that turn that intelligence into agents and applications reshaping how governments, enterprises and society work.

Overview:

The Principal Sales Engineer will lead the technical pre-sales motion for hyperscalers and major cloud and silicon ecosystem customers.

You will shape technically complex, high-value opportunities involving capacity, AI infrastructure, performance, networking, storage and platform integration.

This is a senior individual contributor role and not a people-management position.

G42 Americas is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. We are in the formative stage of building the company, its operating rhythms and culture, and we value meaningful time together in person. The role will require comfort operating across the US and other global markets as G42 Americas scales its AI infrastructure platform and commercial presence.

We are open to candidates located anywhere across the West Coast.

Responsibilities:

Technical Discovery and Qualification

• Partner with account leaders to qualify and shape strategic hyperscaler and cloud infrastructure opportunities.
• Lead technical discovery with cloud architecture, infrastructure, platform engineering, silicon, networking and data-center stakeholders.

Architecture and Solution Design

• Develop solution architectures and technical-commercial narratives for large-scale GPU and AI infrastructure deployments.
• Translate requirements covering performance, reliability, tenancy, networking, storage, orchestration, security and operations into differentiated solutions.

Validation and Pursuit Support

• Coordinate benchmarks, validations, workshops, proofs of concept, RFP/RFI responses and executive technical presentations.
• Support technical risk assessment and implementation readiness.

Field Enablement

• Provide field feedback and develop reusable reference architectures, playbooks and competitive guidance.
• Coordinate engineering, product, delivery, finance, legal and sales contributors.

Qualifications:

Required

• 8-12 years in solution architecture, pre-sales engineering, cloud infrastructure, HPC or AI platforms.
• Experience supporting hyperscaler, cloud, semiconductor or large-scale infrastructure pursuits.
• Hands-on understanding of GPUs, networking, storage, orchestration, performance and infrastructure economics.
• Candidates must have demonstrated experience in AI infrastructure, including GPUs, accelerated computing, and related ecosystems.
• Ability to influence senior technical and commercial stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent experience.

Preferred

• Experience at a hyperscaler, NeoCloud, semiconductor company, OEM or AI infrastructure provider.
• Knowledge of capacity commitments, joint roadmaps and multi-year infrastructure agreements.

What Sets You Apart

• You bring deep technical credibility in high-performance computing, GPU infrastructure and large-scale distributed systems.
• You simplify complex architecture and performance questions without losing technical rigor.
• You connect technical design choices with commercial and operational outcomes.

G42 Americas is a company for builders. We are scaling at extraordinary speed, and we run the business the way founders do: hands-on, close to the work, biased to action and personally accountable for outcomes.

• Hands-on leadership. Our leaders go deep. They build, ship and own outcomes; they do not simply oversee.
• Founder mode. High ownership, high velocity, direct communication, and minimal bureaucracy.
• Room to shape. The blank canvas and pace of a startup, built on the foundation of an established global business with capital, customers, infrastructure, and world-class partners already in place.
• Build something great. We are assembling a few exceptional people to build a generational company, and we expect everyone who joins to leave a personal mark on what gets built.

We are building for long-term impact, and our rewards philosophy is designed to attract leaders who can help shape that future. 

The compensation structure consists of base salary with bonus, LTIP and benefits on top. Salary ranges are set according to the role, level, and location.
