Head of AI Infrastructure - Neocloud

Location – Remote | Open to qualified candidates working remotely anywhere in the United States Our confidential partner is an early-stage hyperscale innovator on a mission to build a next-generation “neocloud” optimized for large-scale AI workloads. Backed by prominent investors and already powering live customer pilots, they are assembling a world-class leadership team that will define how massive GPU fleets are designed, deployed, and operated. As Head of AI Infrastructure, you will own the technical roadmap for a truly global, security-first GPU cloud platform—shaping everything from hardware topology to customer onboarding. If you thrive on blank-sheet architecture, love solving problems at multi-petaflop scale, and want equity in a company poised to challenge the status quo, this role is for you. Key Responsibilities Create and evolve an elastic GPU cloud fabric capable of scaling from hundreds to many thousands of accelerators while maintaining low-latency performance for training and inference. Define compute, storage, and high-speed network blueprints that meet rigorous security and compliance requirements across multiple geographies. Own Kubernetes-based scheduling, multi-tenant isolation, and capacity-planning strategies for a global fleet. Guide enterprise customers through architecture reviews, proof-of-concept deployments, and production cut-overs. Evaluate and negotiate with hardware, colocation, and network vendors to balance performance, cost, and supply-chain resiliency. Build, mentor, and inspire a distributed team of infrastructure architects and site-reliability engineers. Serve as the senior technical voice in executive discussions, investor updates, and strategic partnerships. What You Bring 10 + years of progressive experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or systems architecture with demonstrable success operating large GPU clusters. Expertise in PCIe or NVLink topologies, high-performance networking (InfiniBand/RoCE), and distributed storage for AI workloads. Deep production experience with Kubernetes (or similar schedulers) for GPU environments, including GPU virtualization and multi-tenant isolation. Proven track record leading customer-facing solution architecture or technical sales engagements. Comfort working in fast-moving, venture-backed environments where you set the roadmap and the pace. Bonus points for hands-on exposure to liquid cooling, hybrid or multi-cloud deployments, and large-scale model training frameworks. Why You’ll Love It Here Immediate impact – You will be the first senior leader dedicated to infrastructure and will directly unlock revenue-generating customer deals. Equity with upside – Join before hyper-growth and share in the value you create. Cutting-edge tech stack – Design from a clean slate using the newest GPUs, fabrics, and sustainability-minded data-center solutions. Global vision, remote flexibility – Collaborate with distributed teams and travel to high-growth AI regions (APAC, NA) as needed while enjoying a remote-first culture. Backed to win – Supported by seasoned founders and significant capital commitments, giving you the resources to move fast and think big. A highly competitive base salary, performance bonus, and meaningful equity grant are offered, commensurate with experience.
