Director of Site Selection for Data Centers

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. A small miscalculation in revenue growth can drastically impact the viability of a business.Our solution is a liquid market for GPU offtake, making high-performance computing accessible to all, including startups that cannot commit to extensive contracts.About the Role:As the Director of Site Selection at SF Compute, you will play a pivotal role in deploying large GPU clusters across various colocation facilities and new builds. You will be responsible for identifying and securing sites, from established colocation centers to promising greenfield opportunities.This position is crucial for successful project delivery and collaboration within the SF Compute Development Team. The role is based at our headquarters in San Francisco, with some travel expected. To apply, candidates must submit a portfolio showcasing prior data center projects or transactions.

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.

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.
