Join us in revolutionizing the largest infrastructure expansion in history, as we create a company dedicated to minimizing risks in the deployment of data centers.As the demand for GPU clusters grows, financing these data centers and their supporting infrastructure becomes critical. Our approach ensures that contractual agreements, known as 'offtakes', are established well in advance of construction.Financing GPU clusters involves significant risks due to slender margins and high volumes. Lenders are hesitant to shoulder the risk while developers face challenges in guaranteeing sales. To mitigate this, we provide fixed-price long-term contracts that transfer risk to customers.Without proper risk management, we risk creating a market bubble. Unlike traditional SaaS models, where companies often sign lengthy contracts, our clients may find themselves unable to meet obligations. What if, instead, they could sell their contracts back into the market?As AI technology expands, the accessibility of compute resources will be limited to those who can absorb the associated risks. For instance, a small startup in San Francisco shouldn't have to commit to a 5-year contract for $100 million supercomputers, when they could purchase short-term liquidity instead.That’s precisely what we aim to develop: a liquid market for GPU offtake.About the Role:As a Project Delivery Lead with SF Compute, you will be pivotal in overseeing the project management and construction of substantial GPU clusters deployed within colocation facilities and new builds. You will guide the project from the preconstruction phase through active construction and commissioning, ultimately ensuring a seamless transition to end users.

All candidates must present a portfolio showcasing prior data center projects.About You:You possess over 5 years of experience with a general contractor, specialty trades group, or as an owner's representative, focusing on the comprehensive delivery of data center projects.You hold a bachelor’s degree in construction management or engineering, or an equivalent field.
