Sales Director — APAC

About Netris

Netris is the leading network automation platform for AI clouds. AI is the largest infrastructure buildout in history, and networking is its bottleneck. Netris is the automation and multi-tenancy layer for AI cloud networking, enabling operators to launch GPU clouds in weeks, provision tenants instantly, and maximize GPU utilization. The company experienced 800% ARR growth in the last 12 months, with 35+ live GPU cluster deployments globally and growing, and is backed by Andreessen Horowitz. SDN reinvented data center networking, and Netris is doing it for the AI cloud with NAAM: Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multi-Tenancy.

About the role

Netris is hiring an experienced Sales Director to lead and grow our commercial presence across the Asia Pacific region. You will own APAC revenue — building pipeline, closing strategic accounts, and establishing the regional sales motion with the world’s fastest-growing Neoclouds, sovereign AI providers, and AI Factories. This is a ground-floor leadership opportunity with existing APAC traction and high-growth potential for the right leader to build a team around.

• Build and develop relationships with Neocloud operators, sovereign AI providers, GPU cloud providers, and AI Factory infrastructure teams
• Lead full-cycle enterprise sales engagements from prospecting through close across Singapore, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and broader APAC
• Define and execute the regional go-to-market strategy in partnership with Netris global sales and marketing leadership
• Build and eventually lead a regional sales team as APAC scales
• Develop in-market partner and channel relationships to extend Netris reach across the region
• Provide regional market intelligence, competitive insight, and customer feedback to inform product and go-to-market strategy

• Strong technical grasp of NVIDIA networking, Cumulus, SONiC, EVPN/VXLAN, and data center architectures
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Spectrum-X, DPUs, SuperNICs, InfiniBand, and customer-scale GPU environments (1k–200k GPUs)
• Proven quota-exceeder with a track record of building and closing large, complex deals
• Executive presence and ability to navigate sophisticated enterprise and government procurement environments across the region

Preferred qualifications

• Established network across APAC Neocloud operators, sovereign AI programs, and national cloud initiatives
• Experience with NVIDIA partner ecosystem and go-to-market programs in Asia Pacific
• Background building regional sales functions at high-growth infrastructure or networking software companies
• Fluency in a regional language (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, or Bahasa) in addition to English
