<div class="content-intro"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide.

Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.</span></p></div><h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2> <p>SambaNova is hiring an Executive Assistant to support three senior leaders spanning Engineering, G&A (General & Administrative), and Sales.
