Job description

Nscale is the GPU cloud engineered for AI. We provide cost-effective, high-performance infrastructure for AI start-ups and large enterprise customers. Nscale enables AI-focused companies to achieve superior results by reducing the complexity of AI development. Our GPU cloud bolsters technical capabilities and directly supports strategic business outcomes, including cost management, rapid innovation, and environmental responsibility.

We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you’ll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Director, Supply Chain Engineering to build the systems that take Nscale from demand signal to deployed compute.

This role sits within Corporate Technology and reports to the SVP, Corporate Technology, partnering closely with Data Center and AI Infrastructure teams, as well as Finance, Procurement, and Operations. You’ll design, build, and deploy the systems, platforms, and workflows spanning demand signal, hardware configuration and BOM development, supplier and ODM coordination, logistics and staging, spare inventory management, and more. You won’t run supply chain operations or own procurement—you’ll work alongside those owners and own how the work is represented in software.

Success means this work runs on systems rather than spreadsheets. Teams will work from shared, accurate data, changes will propagate without manual chasing, and routine coordination will be handled through automation and agentic workflows. Your work will directly determine how quickly Nscale can turn hardware into live compute.

What you'll be doing

Platform Ownership & Roadmap

• Own the supply chain technology stack end to end, including strategy, implementation, platform health, configuration, integrations, upgrades, and roadmap planning.
