About The Position

General Compute is a neocloud for alternative chips, acquiring purpose-built inference hardware, securing data center space, and operating the infrastructure for customers. The company serves frontier labs, fast-growing AI application companies, and asset-light clouds. It closed a $15 million seed round in May 2026 and a $400 million debt facility, with $100 million funded upfront by Upper90 and the remainder available for drawdown, collateralized by inference chips. The Head of Capital Markets is General Compute’s first dedicated capital markets hire and reports directly to the CEO. This hands-on role owns the company’s capital stack end-to-end, including structuring and closing financing facilities, managing lender relationships, and developing the credit story for the company’s Series A. The role also handles core company finance, including cash flow, budget-versus-actuals, and oversight of the bookkeeper. Approximately four days a week are devoted to capital markets and about one day to company finance.
