About Us

‍

The OTC derivatives market moves trillions of dollars daily on infrastructure that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. We're building the platform for the next evolution of financial services.

‍

We're a small team that came from trading, quant, and engineering roles at tier one financial institutions who were previously responsible for creating some of the most innovative products in the market. We are now building a platform which can process the most complex transactions executed across financial markets. We are building this right: delightful experience, modern stack, AI-native architecture.

‍

Our clients are the most sophisticated banks, hedge-funds, and asset managers in the world. The problems are extremely hard, the scale is massive, and we're creating infrastructure that will define how this market operates for decades to come.

About the Role

‍

Float is scaling its distribution organization, and this is a foundational commercial hire at the center of that effort. This is an individual-contributor, quota-carrying role focused on new-logo acquisition and account execution — not a management layer. You'll independently develop and progress complex enterprise opportunities across banks, hedge funds, asset managers and strategic partners, bringing founders into relationships selectively, where their involvement creates disproportionate value.

‍

You'll own the full commercial motion: prospecting, pipeline development, negotiation and closing, with the autonomy and credibility to operate directly with sophisticated capital-markets participants. As an early commercial hire, you'll help shape a lean, AI-native go-to-market organization from the outset.
