Join us as we revolutionize the landscape of data center infrastructure, mitigating risks associated with one of the largest build-outs in history.In the world of financing GPU clusters, offtake agreements are imperative. These contracts ensure that potential customers commit to leasing GPU clusters even before their construction begins.The financing of GPU clusters presents unique challenges due to slender margins and substantial volumes. Lenders are hesitant to shoulder the risk of cluster developers defaulting on loans, while developers are equally concerned about unsold clusters. To address these challenges, risks are transferred to customers through fixed-price, long-term contracts.Failure to manage customer risk can lead to market instability. Unlike traditional SaaS models, where multi-year contracts often lead to monthly subscriptions, the stakes in GPU financing are much higher. A simple miscalculation in procurement can lead to dire financial consequences.As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, compute resources will only be accessible to those who can effectively manage the associated risks. A small startup might struggle to commit to a 5-year, $100 million contract for supercomputers; however, they could benefit from purchasing liquidity from the market.This is where we come in: we are creating a dynamic market for GPU offtake.About the Role:As part of SF Compute’s Development Team, you will lead the procurement strategy for our data center projects, overseeing the sourcing of vital components for our GPU clusters. This position is based at our San Francisco headquarters and requires some travel. Candidates must submit a portfolio detailing previous data center projects.

Join us at SF Compute, where we are redefining the future of infrastructure development. Our mission is to de-risk the most extensive infrastructure build-out in history.In the world of GPU financing, successful data centers require robust contracts before construction begins. Our innovative approach allows companies to secure 'offtake' agreements, ensuring that clusters are leased before they are built.Navigating the complexities of GPU cluster financing entails managing significant risks. With thin profit margins and massive volumes, lenders are hesitant to shoulder the risk of cluster developers defaulting on loans. Consequently, we shift this risk to clients through fixed-price long-term contracts.Without effective risk mitigation, the potential for a market bubble increases. Unlike SaaS models where companies offer monthly subscriptions, data center clients must secure long-term contracts.
