Clockwork.io is a Silicon Valley startup that delivers state-of-the-art AI compute acceleration. 

We are founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers with a shared belief: distributed systems powering modern AI require a new approach to managing time, reliability, and performance. Unlike traditional solutions that rely on specialized hardware or embedded telemetry in switches, Clockwork’s system brings insane visibility, resilience, acceleration and efficiency to the network layer entirely through software. As AI workloads continue to scale in size, urgency, and impact, networks must evolve to keep up. Clockwork exists to make that evolution possible.

Clockwork Systems (also known as Clockwork) is a distributed systems company known for precise clock synchronization across cloud and hybrid environments. Their platform is based on research out of Stanford (notably the Huygens system), enabling accurate event timing in distributed applications. Clockwork uses the foundational Clock sync to then accurately measure to the nano-second, latency in large scale AI GPU based Clusters used for LLM models, fine tuning, and inference. Clockworks software provides AI Infrastructure leaders the ability to monitoring their GPU fleet, provide AI workload management, and accelerate AI job performance. 

This matters especially for use cases like:

• Large Language Models used in AI & machine learning 
• Fine-tuning, RAG, & inference 
• Distributed databases, Vector Databases, and AI observability
• Cybersecurity and threat detection

Technical Differentiators:

• Sub-microsecond synchronization accuracy across cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc.)
• Operates seamlessly in GPU Clouds and on-prem environments
• Provides industry first resiliency for AI workloads that suffer from optical network link flaps
• Enhances event correlation, root cause analysis, and security observability
• Built by leading minds in networking and distributed systems (ex-VMware, Stanford faculty)

At Clockwork enjoy

• A high degree of responsibility and independence.
• A competitive salary and commission.
• A great benefits package.
• Riding the startup elevator from the ground floor up!

You should:

• Understand (or be ready to learn) distributed systems, observability tools, & AI Infrastructure. 
• Have experience selling to engineering leaders: CTOs, VP AI, AIops, MLops, SREs, platform teams
• Be skilled in consultative, enterprise-level selling
• Thrive in evangelizing new or category-defining technology

Clockwork is assembling world class teams to build cutting edge software. We look for bright people from all walks of life and we grow together. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ancestry, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.
