About The Position

As the AI Infrastructure Supply Chain Lead, you will be the strategic architect of our global AI infrastructure supply chain. You will lead the end-to-end sourcing for high-performance compute (HPC) and sovereign AI cloud platforms. This role requires a rare blend of deep technical fluency in NVIDIA architectures and aggressive commercial acumen to ensure supply continuity in a volatile global semiconductor market.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical STEM field.
• 5+ years of experience in high-performance computing (HPC) or hyperscale datacenter procurement environments.
• Deep understanding of NVIDIA Blackwell (GB200/GB300) architectures, including the performance characteristics of NVLink and NVLink Switch systems for AI training and inference.
• Foundational understanding of the hardware-software stack, including operating systems, device drivers, and firmware versioning.
• Ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering requirements and executive-level financial/commercial constraints.

Nice To Haves

• Proven experience navigating regional distributor landscapes in APAC and EMEA.
• Experience with rack-level integration for modular or Edge datacenter deployments.
• Practical knowledge of how hardware specifications impact specific AI workloads (LLM training vs. low-latency inference).

Responsibilities

• Identify, vet, and manage Tier 1/2 OEMs and regional distributors for high-density servers, network gear, and cabling. Build a resilient multi-vendor strategy to eliminate single points of failure.
• Drive end-to-end contract lifecycles, including Master Purchase Agreements (MPAs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and complex warranty/support negotiations.
• Monitor global semiconductor trends to mitigate long-lead-time risks. Support Solution Engineering by ensuring "just-in-time" inventory of mission-critical hardware (GPUs, NICs, Switches).
• Partner with Systems Engineering and Architecture teams to translate technical specs into scalable, multi-year procurement roadmaps.
• Oversee the procurement and delivery of integrated components, including NVIDIA Grace CPUs, NVLink, InfiniBand, and ConnectX-8 technologies.
• Architect procurement workflows that satisfy stringent security, data residency, and national compliance requirements for Sovereign AI cloud deployments.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and equity
• Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)
• Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)
• Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
