About the Opportunity
A rapidly growing, well-funded technology company is seeking a Vice President AI Infrastructure Engineering Leader to lead the engineering organization responsible for transforming newly deployed data center hardware into reliable, production-ready compute infrastructure.
This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for someone who combines deep technical expertise in AI/HPC infrastructure with strong engineering leadership. The ideal candidate understands both the physical infrastructure layer and the software automation required to operate large-scale GPU and compute environments efficiently.
Youβll operate at the intersection of servers, GPUs, Linux, networking, Kubernetes, distributed systems, automation, and infrastructure software, helping establish the architecture, standards, tooling, and engineering practices required to deploy and operate infrastructure at scale.
Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly valued:
This is an opportunity to join an organization at an early and highly consequential stage of its growth. Youβll have significant influence over architecture, automation, engineering standards, tooling, and team development, rather than simply inheriting an established infrastructure environment.
The company operates with a startup mentality of fast, lean, highly collaborative, and high ownership while having the resources to build infrastructure for significant scale.
The role is particularly well suited to a leader who enjoys building something new, moving quickly, solving complex infrastructure challenges, and creating software-driven systems that replace manual processes with scalable automation.
