Jobbeschreibung

Helios takes AI infrastructure A to Z. We secure the power, acquire the land, and build the data center infrastructure, then either colocate customer hardware or operate the cluster ourselves as a neocloud, selling GPU-as-a-Service at well below hyperscaler pricing. Power is the scarcest input in AI infrastructure, so we solve for it first and build everything else around it: modular, build-to-order capacity deployed at the point of generation and cooled closed-loop.

We closed a seed round led by AlleyCorp, are signing $100M+/year in customer revenue, and are scaling globally. We're hiring our first finance leader, reporting directly to the CEO, with a clear path to CFO. You'd own how we fund the buildout.

The Role

Every Helios deployment is a capital project. You'll own how we fund them: CapEx planning, project finance, and the structures that let capital partners own the assets while Helios operates them and holds the customer contract. This is a builder seat. You'll set up the finance function, run the models, and sit across the table from lenders and investors yourself.

We care more about slope than tenure: a high-drive operator with real deal reps.

What you'll own

• Capital strategy. SPV and project finance structures, construction debt, and GPU and equipment financing for each build.
• CapEx planning. Unit economics across power, land, powered shells, GPUs, and networking.
• Investors and lenders. Own the relationships, including waterfall and return modeling for capital partners.
• Deal support. Long-term, take-or-pay GPU capacity contracts, in partnership with the CEO and sales.
• Finance infrastructure. FP&A, reporting, and the core finance and accounting systems as we scale.
• The team. Build the finance team over time, on the path to CFO.

Must Haves

• Personally closed infrastructure financings: project finance SPVs, construction debt, or GPU and equipment financing.
• Deep CapEx experience in AI, HPC, data centers, energy, or other real infrastructure, not only software finance.
• Comfortable building from zero and owning outcomes in a fast-moving, early-stage company.
• Based in, or willing to relocate to, Salt Lake City.

Nice to Haves

• Investment banking, infrastructure or data center investing, or finance leadership at a neocloud, GPU cloud, or colo provider.
• Experience with long-term committed-capacity or take-or-pay contract structures.

Compensation

Competitive base, meaningful variable, and founding-team equity. Q1 2027 start preferred.
