The San Francisco Compute Company manufactures supercomputers. Backed by Electric Capital.
About the role
We're hiring a Deployment Manager for the Compute Deals team. This is the person who coordinates everything that happens post-deal signature: herding internal teams and the external counterparty from contract handoff through bring-up and validation to successful customer delivery. Compute Engineering owns the technical bring-up and sets the acceptance bar; this role owns the integrated plan and keeps every workstream moving against it.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years in technical program or project management. Ideally in data center, infrastructure, hardware, telecom but not required
- A track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs over months, not days
- Excellent cross-functional communication, equally credible with hardware engineers and commercial/deal leads
- High ownership and bias to action, comfortable escalating early rather than waiting for a problem to resolve itself
- Fluency in GPU/compute infrastructure terminology (NVL72, HGX, DGX, InfiniBand, rack/node topology)
- Demonstrated ability to read and work with a Bill of Materials, you understand rack configurations, node specs, and networking components well enough to catch a discrepancy before it derails a build
More about this role
San Francisco Compute exists to give ambitious teams large scale supercomputers without taking on a catastrophic balance sheet risk. Most GPU clouds force you to sign long term contracts with no way out. If you underbuy, you miss the window. If you overbuy, you’ll blow up with no way out. It’s a desperate gamble that San Francisco Compute does not force you to play.
Originally, SFC was an AI lab that bought too big of a GPU cluster and was forced to sublease it or go under. Today, we build data centers, supercomputers, and then lease those machines on contracts that let our customers sublease. More than anyone else in the industry, we deeply felt the pain and fear of being forced to bet the farm with your neocloud vendor. To make it possible to sublease, we invented the first compute market and became the first one to offer physical settlement. That means we operate GPU clusters like a neocloud and derisk our customers like a market.
Customers buying GPU clusters don’t want to work through a network of brokers. They want to transact with the folks that have the keys to the cluster and can own the SLA.
To keep the industry safe from unnecessary risk, SFC needs to scale fast. To do...
