Account Executive, VDI/EUC

About Us Softdrive is a startup on a mission to make powerful compute accessible to every enterprise, without the complexity or cost that has defined the VDI industry for decades. We build and stream high-performance virtual desktops to any device, across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, so teams can stay productive from anywhere without being constrained by their hardware. Our performance is 5x faster and our setup time is 80% shorter than the legacy industry players. We deliver the lowest total cost of ownership in the market, handle GPU- and CPU-intensive workloads at scale, and eliminate the burden of physical hardware management. We’re proud to build in partnership with Oracle, NVIDIA, and Autodesk. Joining Softdrive means working on hard infrastructure problems that actually matter, at a company early enough that your work shapes the product, the team, and the culture. We move fast, operate with high ownership, and are building something the industry's biggest players haven't been able to crack. About the Role Softdrive is targeting mid-to-enterprise organizations with 200-10,000 VMs within the AEC, media & entertainment, healthcare, and call centers markets — who are actively looking to move off legacy virtual desktop platforms amid rising costs and aging infrastructure.
