As the company continues to grow, it seeks a Senior Corporate Counsel, Data Centers and Infrastructure to lead the high-value transactions that support the physical foundation of its global cloud platform.

Reporting to the Associate General Counsel, this attorney will join a small, collaborative legal team and serve as a key partner to the company's data center, procurement, engineering, operations, finance, tax, security, and compliance teams. This is a high-impact opportunity to take ownership of complex infrastructure projects in a fast-moving technology business.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive data center transactions from structuring through signature, including letters of intent, master services agreements, order forms, and related agreements.
• Draft and negotiate data center capacity leases, colocation agreements, design/build contracts, facilities and operations-and-maintenance agreements, and other arrangements supporting the development and operation of data centers.
• Lead infrastructure procurement agreements for GPUs, integrated server systems, network and power equipment, and other compute hardware.
• Partner cross-functionally on deal structure and provide practical counsel on risk allocation, supplier assessments, performance issues, and remediation.
• Support international expansion by adapting requirements for new jurisdictions and coordinating with local counsel on local law and market considerations.
• Build scalable templates, playbooks, fallback positions, and approval matrices, and contribute to other high-priority commercial and operational matters for a lean legal department.

Qualifications

• Approximately 6-8+ years of legal experience, including meaningful in-house experience supporting data center or comparable large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Direct experience negotiating data center agreements from a developer, provider, or tenant perspective, including single-tenant and/or colocation transactions involving modified-gross, triple-net, or similar lease structures.
• Experience with facilities and operations-and-maintenance agreements and familiarity with key operational terms, including service levels, maintenance windows, security requirements, audit rights, change control, and service credits.
• Strong foundation in technology and infrastructure transactions, with the ability to understand technical requirements and translate them into practical legal and commercial frameworks.
• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission in at least one U.S. state.
• Proven ability to lead multiple complex projects independently, exercise strong business judgment, and deliver practical advice on aggressive timelines.
• Collaborative, low-ego, roll-up-your-sleeves approach and excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Experience

• Significant experience negotiating enterprise data center leases.
• Familiarity with tax incentives and financing structures, international procurement, trade compliance, or supply-chain risk.
• Experience with power-related contracts, including interconnection agreements, electricity service agreements, power purchase agreements, or behind-the-meter generation structures.
• Experience with early-stage site-selection diligence, including zoning and permitting considerations.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a sophisticated legal team, own business-critical infrastructure transactions, and help shape the legal frameworks supporting a growing global cloud and AI platform.
