Founder (CEO) - Coolant Monitoring for AI Data Centers

About the role

ATUM Ventures, a Singapore deep-tech venture builder and investor, is building a company around an inline coolant-monitoring platform developed at NTU. The platform uses laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to measure dissolved metals in data center coolant in real time, identifying corrosion and its location. The founding CTO is already in place, and a corporate partner in data center cooling is engaged. The founder will own the commercial side of the business.

Key responsibilities

• Turn early operator interest into paid pilots, then into repeatable contracts
• Set product positioning and pricing, and build the business case for data center operators to approve the spend
• Raise pre-seed and seed capital alongside the CTO and ATUM
• Open channels with colocation and hyperscale operators, cooling OEMs and their service partners

Required profile

• B2B sales track record selling technical products or infrastructure to industrial, data center, energy or process customers, with long sales cycles
• Experience selling a new product and building the internal business case to get it approved
• Comfortable with hardware pilots, deployment costs and service models, able to hold your own with engineers
• Runway to commit full-time; Singapore-based is not required but frequent presence is needed
• Bonus: existing relationships with data center operators, colocation providers or cooling OEMs

What we offer

• Meaningful founding equity
• No salary at the start; ATUM funds the pre-seed and grants cover the early build, with salary coming when the seed round closes
• Pre-seed capital and grant access, plus follow-on funding from ATUM's investor network
• Hands-on support on product, GTM and fundraising
• Access to labs, technical experts and early adopters
