About Shadeform

Efficiently develop, train, and deploy AI models in any cloud environment. Access on-demand GPUs across multiple GPU clouds and seamlessly scale ML inference for optimal performance. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We're hiring a Sourcing Manager (or Sourcing Associate, depending on experience) to own the supply side of our marketplace. You'll identify, qualify, and onboard GPU and data center providers, then manage those relationships to keep high-quality capacity flowing into our platform. This is a commercial, relationship-driven role for someone who understands the AI infrastructure landscape and can talk credibly with providers about hardware, power, and deployment timelines.

What they're looking for

  • Working knowledge of the AI infrastructure industry, including GPU compute, and familiarity with hardware and data center requirements (power, cooling, colocation, deployment constraints)
  • A track record in sourcing, partnerships, business development, or supply-side account management — ideally in cloud, compute, or infrastructure
  • Comfort with HubSpot or a comparable CRM for pipeline and relationship management
  • Strong commercial instincts and the ability to negotiate and manage provider relationships independently
  • Ideally, an existing network of GPU or data center providers you can bring to the table
  • Direct, high-signal communication and a bias toward action
