About The Position

Shadeform is a GPU cloud marketplace aggregating compute capacity across 30+ providers. As we expand into powered-land and data center development in partnership with a major US landowner, we're looking for an experienced Data Center Development Advisor. You'll partner directly with our Head of Colo / Powered Land to vet sites, review design specs, and provide technical oversight across the development lifecycle. We're engaging on a project-by-project basis to start, but for the right person this can grow into a full-time role as our development pipeline scales. Our sites typically fall in the 2.5–100MW range.

Requirements

• Direct experience managing or overseeing the development/construction of data center facilities, ideally across the sub-100MW range
• Strong grasp of power infrastructure, cooling systems, and site selection criteria
• Existing relationships across construction, MEP engineering, and general contracting
• Comfort working independently and engaging on a flexible, per-project cadence

Nice To Haves

• Experience with high-density / AI-GPU deployments
• Experience with powered-land deals
• Experience with colo/hyperscale builds

Responsibilities

• Vet prospective sites for data center suitability (power, cooling, connectivity, land constraints, permitting risk)
• Review design specs, MEP plans, and construction documentation for feasibility and cost
• Advise on facility layout, power density, and buildout economics across the 2.5–100MW range, including high-density GPU/AI deployments
• Serve as a technical liaison between Shadeform, our landowner partner, and construction/engineering teams
• Bring and leverage your network of construction, engineering, and GC contacts as needed
