Descrição da oferta de emprego

Operations · San Francisco · Remote · FullTime · Senior level

This role is about turning big, messy compute deals into clear decisions. The work covers financial models, deal structures, and checking out the companies on the other side of each contract. A strong candidate has seven to ten years in banking, private equity, infrastructure investing, consulting, or corporate development, has taken complex deals from first look to close, and can give leaders a plain recommendation backed by solid numbers.

How it fits the AI era

AI makes demand for inference capacity grow fast and hard to predict, so deciding how much compute to commit to, and on what terms, becomes a core business question. Software can speed up modeling, research, and market tracking, but judgment on risk, negotiation, and trust with counterparties stays with people. The role sits where AI demand meets real money and real hardware.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this seat would learn how GPU capacity, data centers, and power are sourced and financed for a company serving production AI models. Without that background, it helps to study compute pricing, read about data center financing, and build a sample model of the cost of running inference. Working alongside supply, finance, and engineering teams gives a close look at how AI products turn into infrastructure costs.

Worth showing

• Complex deal structuring and closing
• Financial modeling and scenario analysis
• Counterparty diligence experience
• Infrastructure or data center investing
• Clear recommendations to senior leaders
