So fast that a handful of vertically integrated providers won't be able to scale across operations, capital, supply chains, and politics to serve it. The result is a massive wave of fragmentation, with AI factories of every shape and size coming to market to fill this demand. Our job is to enable all of that fragmented compute to flow through one platform, delivering reliable capacity to model builders, research labs, and inference providers when they need it.\nWe believe every spare electron should be made productive for AI and we're building the platform that makes that possible.\nWe sit at the center of three forces:\nCompanies that need reliable, high-performance compute fast\n\nA fragmented global supply of GPUs across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and independent data centers\n\nCapital, risk, and operational complexity that most teams are not equipped to manage\n\nWhen we succeed, trillions of dollars of compute will flow through Andromeda. Builders get capacity when they need it. Providers get a reliable way to monetize, operate, and finance infrastructure at scale. Capital gets an easy way to deploy, hedge, and underwrite. In five years, Andromeda won't just participate in the AI infrastructure market. We will shape it.\nThe Role\nAndromeda's infrastructure team designs, deploys, and operates large-scale GPU clusters for AI labs and compute providers. The Site Selection Lead finds, qualifies, and secures the data centers our clusters are deployed into. You own the full cycle from market screening through diligence, lease negotiation, and handoff to delivery. You report to the Head of Infrastructure.\nWhat You'll Own\nMarket screening: Assessment of markets and inbound opportunities on power availability, scalability, cost, permitting, and tax.\n\nPipeline: An accurate pipeline of sites, deal status, documentation, and milestones, with risks and delays flagged early.\n\nDiligence: Site-level diligence on power capacity and utility timelines, cooling (direct liquid cooling readiness, CDUs, facility water), structure, connectivity, zoning, andpermitting, including on-site evaluations.\n\nLease negotiation: Negotiations with landlords and operators from LOI through execution, working with Legal and Finance.\n\nRelationships: Brokers, landlords, utilities, consultants, and development partners across markets.\n\nHandoff: A clean handoff into delivery, buildout, and operations, with technical requirements, commercial commitments, and timelines aligned.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nExperience: 6+ years in data center site selection, infrastructure development, or commercial real estate with technical diligence.\n\nMarket knowledge: Strong knowledge of US data center markets, utility infrastructure, and regional regulatory frameworks.\n\nNegotiation: You have led commercial lease negotiations and complex due diligence through to execution.\n\nTechnical depth: You can read single-line diagrams and MEP drawings and spot gaps in power and cooling redundancy.\n\nHigh-density cooling: You understand liquid-cooled deployments at 100kW+ per rack.\n\nJudgment: You make clear recommendations from incomplete information and stand behind them.\n\nNot A Fit\nBrokerage only: Real estate experience without technical diligence.\n\nStrong Candidates May Have\nPower: Utility interconnection, power procurement, or behind-the-meter generation experience.\n\nInternational: Site work in Europe, the Middle East, or Asia.\n\nCredentials: PE license or equivalent engineering qualification.\n\nWhy You'll Love It Here\nSet the site evaluation standard for every deployment\n\nWork across new AI data center capacity in multiple markets\n\nHigh talent density, high trust team shaping the compute market\n\nComprehensive benefits for you and your dependents, including healthcare, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and unlimited PTO\n\nAndromeda Cluster is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4378,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"San Francisco","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T22:49:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":57,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/andromeda-site-selection-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/andromeda-site-selection-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T21:22:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":34470,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":27148},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=27148"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fandromeda-site-selection-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fandromeda-site-selection-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fandromeda-site-selection-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/andromeda-site-selection-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fandromeda-site-selection-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3774635}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"andromeda.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3774635},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
