The Mission
You will be architecting partnerships that define the future of market data infrastructure for AI. Pyth Pro is institutional-grade market data designed for the next generation of buyers: AI companies, quant funds, and trading desks running AI-powered strategies.
Your role is to be the primary bridge between Pyth Pro and the US institutional AI market. You'll identify, pitch, and close partnerships with tier-1 AI firms, hedge funds and prop trading firms who need reliable, low-latency market data infrastructure.
You'll own both the supply side (onboarding market makers and data publishers who feed Pyth Pro) and the demand side (scaling adoption with institutional buyers who depend on Pyth Pro).
Location: San Francisco Remote

About Pyth Pro
Institutional market data infrastructure for decentralized finance. Instead of relying on legacy data providers with vendor lock-in and latency constraints, Pyth connects institutional buyers directly to market maker data publishers on-chain.
The opportunity: AI firms need reliable market data. Institutional traders need better infrastructure. Pyth Pro is the answer.
