The opportunity
OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital partners, is building the world’s most advanced AI compute infrastructure ecosystem. The InfraDev team is central to this mission, setting the strategy and executing the roadmap to scale our supercomputing footprint globally.
What you'll do
Develop and execute sourcing strategies for the next generation of AI compute: infrastructure in partnership with engineering and program leadership.
Stay at the leading edge of industry and supply-chain trends to inform: category strategy and long-range planning.
Initiate, negotiate, and manage commercial agreements across OEM/ODM/JDMs for: accelerators, GPUs/CPUs, server platforms, rack systems, liquid-cooling components, PSUs, and supporting mechanical/electrical subsystems.
Secure capacity and optionality across a rapidly scaling compute supply chain: while mitigating risk and ensuring manufacturing readiness.
Partner cross-functionally with engineering, program delivery, legal,: operations, and finance to ensure sourcing strategies align with technical and program objectives.
Drive competitive sourcing events, commercial structuring, and vendor: accountability across the compute bill of materials.
What they're looking for
- Provide technical and commercial evaluation guidance during supplier: selection and product qualification cycles.
- Deliver portfolio-level visibility to executive stakeholders on progress,: risks, and decision points with clarity and precision.
- + years of strategic sourcing and vendor management experience, with deep: expertise in compute systems and hardware supply chains.
- Demonstrated leadership sourcing for high-performance compute, accelerators,: and data-center server platforms — ideally including OEM/JDM/ODM engagement.
