Head of Infrastructure - Neocloud

• Drive end-to-end design, deployment, and operations of global-scale, bare-metal infrastructure spanning compute, storage, and networking layers.
• Lead a team of senior infrastructure engineers and architects with a relentless focus on scalability, performance, and resiliency.
• Architect GPU-dense clusters using state-of-the-art accelerators (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.), optimizing for rack design, fabric topology, and power/cooling considerations.
• Align hardware roadmaps with sourcing and procurement strategies, ensuring just-in-time readiness for rapidly scaling workloads.
• Partner with data center operations teams for seamless site launches, covering everything from physical layout to ICT and cluster readiness.
• Define infrastructure standards to support containerized, managed environments like Kubernetes and SLURM for AI/ML workloads.
• Build automation and lifecycle tooling to accelerate deployment velocity and maintain systems at hyperscale standards.
• Represent infrastructure strategy in cross-functional discussions across software, security, finance, and business teams.
• Stay engaged at the ground level—personally joining bring-ups, participating in architecture reviews, and resolving complex technical challenges.
• Travel occasionally to data centers, OEM partners, and industry events to maintain deep market and vendor insight.

• 10+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering experience, including 3+ years in senior technical leadership over systems, network, or hardware teams.
• Proven track record leading deployment of 10,000+ GPU clusters—deep understanding of timelines, hardware nuances, and execution at scale.
• Expertise in high-performance networking (InfiniBand, RoCEv2, BGP, ECMP) for latency-sensitive, large-scale compute environments.
• Strong expertise in server architecture, including interconnect frameworks like PCIe and NVLink, baseboard management controllers, and low-level firmware, along with experience in high-performance storage platforms such as WekaFS, VAST Data, and DDN.
• Familiar with datacenter-specific infrastructure such as direct liquid cooling, high-density power solutions, and environmental constraints for GPU-heavy racks.
• Strong collaboration skills and experience working with procurement, finance, and security on infrastructure delivery.
• Outstanding ability to communicate effectively, simplifying complex technical concepts for audiences without a technical background, including clients and business stakeholders.

• Prior experience leading teams within a neocloud environment, hyperscale organization, or GPU and compute hardware manufacturer.
• Working knowledge of platforms such as NetBox, MAAS, or Redfish, along with experience streamlining firmware updates, system imaging, and deployment processes through automation.
• Understanding of how AI and machine learning frameworks impact system performance, including experience with technologies such as Kubernetes, SLURM, JAX, and PyTorch.
• Experience leading infrastructure efforts in both customer-facing and internal engineering settings.

• Compensation package includes a competitive base salary, performance bonus, and equity with high upside.
• Comprehensive health, vision, and dental benefits.
• Competitive retirement program and ample paid time off, comparable to leading technology organizations.
• Join a tight-knit, mission-driven team transforming how compute is delivered for advanced intelligence systems.
