[Hiring] VP of GPU Infrastructure @Reimagine Work

Role Description

We are hiring a hands-on VP to design, build and run the GPU compute that goes inside our containers. You will own the technical design of Nomad's systems, work directly with our OEM and manufacturing partners, and lead deployments from prototype through to production rollouts. This seat is the first technical leader joining the company and you’ll have the opportunity to scale both technical strategy and hands-on design.

You will define how modular and distributed AI infrastructure is built over the next decade.

Who You Are

• You are excited by the possibility of what makes a modular, relocatable model like Nomad's possible.
• You understand how to physically house and cool dense compute, and how the compute itself is designed and built.
• You have a deep understanding of the opportunity surrounding the increasingly lighter requirements of compute infrastructure.
• You command a room technically and can think like a designer, pivoting between engineering, systems design, and integration.
• You routinely solve complex technical design challenges by thinking out of the box.
• You have a knack for escaping the dogma of traditional methods to build and innovate.
• You can hold your own with engineers, chip designers, customers, or suppliers.
• You’re ready to reimagine what’s possible in this industry.
• You will work closely with our CEO and founder, building the company’s first engineering team.

What You Will Do

• Design and specify the compute systems inside our containers, including GPU servers, power, cooling, and networking for dense, relocatable deployments.
• Select, qualify, and test hardware and suppliers, and build repeatable reference designs that scale across sites.
• Own relationships with OEMs and manufacturers, including quality control, lead times, and cost.
• Lead the build, commissioning, and operation of prototype and production deployments, including remote and off-grid locations.
• Put monitoring, fleet management, and reliability practices in place to keep GPU capacity running.
• Build the cost model and technical roadmap with the CEO and executive team.
• Hire and lead the first engineers and technicians, and stay close to the work.
• Explain technical decisions, trade-offs, cost, and risk clearly to non-technical executives, investors, and customers.

Qualifications

• Hands-on GPU experience: you have personally built and operated GPU infrastructure.
• 8 or more years of progressive experience in data centre, HPC, or GPU infrastructure engineering.
• 8-10 years of senior leadership experience influencing technical product strategy and design.
• Personal ownership of a GPU infrastructure build or operation within the last few years, with specifics on scale such as GPU count, rack density, and power.
• Owned the end-to-end NPI Stage-Gate process, from engineering requirements through commercial launch.
• Working knowledge of power, cooling, and networking for high-density compute, along with hardware reliability and deployment logistics.
• Direct experience managing OEM or ODM relationships, including quality control and the ramp from prototype to production.
• Experience leading or mentoring technical teams, ideally at a startup or in a high-growth environment.
• Comfort with startup ambiguity and fast execution, and willingness to do hands-on work yourself.
• Clear communication skills to explain technical choices, cost, and risk to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Immersion cooling or advanced liquid cooling experience.
• Crypto mining infrastructure, or modular and containerized data centre builds.
• Exposure to chip, GPU, or board design and hardware development.
• A background at a NeoCloud or GPU cloud infrastructure company.
• Experience running a new product introduction process from engineering requirements through commercial launch.
• Experience working with manufacturers in Asia, including time on the factory floor completing FAT testing and monitoring product QA/QC.

Benefits

• A significant opportunity to help build one of the defining sovereign AI infrastructure platforms.
• Genuine technical ownership with Board backing and a collaborative founder.
• Meaningful equity participation and a compensation structure designed for exceptional technical talent.
• A publicly listed platform (Aquis: NMD) with recent financing secured.
• An international mandate from day one, deploying globally distributed AI infrastructure.
• Room for your scope to grow as the company does, and the chance to become a recognized technical voice in the global conversation about AI sovereignty.
• Globally remote role - we’re looking for the best candidate, regardless of location.
