We're the company behind Hyperstack - a self-serve, on-demand cloud platform built for high-performance AI, HPC, and compute-heavy workloads. Powered by 100% renewable energy and NVIDIA architecture, Hyperstack gives teams from AI startups to enterprise the compute they need, without the cost or complexity of legacy cloud.\nWe move fast, solve hard problems, and build things that matter. If you want ownership, real impact, and a front-row seat to one of the most consequential infrastructure shifts of the decade - this is the place.\nTHE ROLE: DATA CENTRE DEPLOYMENT LEAD\nWe're building GPU clusters across multiple international regions, and none of that capacity reaches customers until it's racked, cabled, commissioned and handed over. Our Senior Deployment Lead owns the pipeline but can't be on every site at once, so we need a senior onsite authority who can lead each build and hold every region to the same standard.\nThis is a role for someone who's happiest on the data centre floor making the call, not waiting for one. You'll lead a team of 3-5 Deployment Engineers through each build, catch problems at planning before hardware lands, and hand over sites that Operations can run from day two. Expect around 50% international travel, remote-first in between.\nWHAT YOU'LL BE DOING\nRather than a checklist, here's what success in this role actually looks like:\nOwn each site as the onsite decision-maker, leading Deployment Engineers day to day, directing contractors safely, and escalating only what genuinely sits beyond onsite authority.\nCollaborate closely with the Senior Deployment Lead, Network Engineering, Procurement & Supply Chain, and Data Centre Operations/NOC to take every build from validated design to clean handover.\nValidate design plans and BOMs before hardware arrives, checking space, power, cooling, weight and interoperability (optics, AOC, DAC) so issues are fixed at planning, not on site.\nProduce and validate structured and fibre cabling designs, including length estimates, oversee cable pathing, and run cabling QC so every install matches the design before sign-off.\nOversee racking and installation of GPU servers and network hardware, support fabric installation and cutover, and make sure commissioning meets the agreed acceptance criteria.\nDefine and enforce the deployment standards every region builds to - rack, cabling, labelling and documentation - and hand over every site with complete as-built records.\nRun post-deployment reviews, turn the findings into better workflows, and develop your engineers so the team takes on more of each build over time.\nABOUT YOU\nWe care more about how you think and work than a perfect CV. You'll likely bring a combination of the following:\nEssential:\nExperience leading a technical deployment team on site - allocating work and acting as the onsite authority, not just the most experienced engineer on the crew.\nAdvanced structured and fibre cabling experience, including producing designs, estimating lengths and running QC.\nExperience creating and reviewing BOMs against space, power, cooling, weight and interoperability, including optics, AOC and DAC.\nSignificant data centre deployment experience, with strong network and server hardware knowledge, and a track record of writing or enforcing standards and documentation others followed.\nWillingness to travel internationally around 50% of the time (sometimes at short notice, for days or weeks at a time), and fluent English with clear written reporting.\nNice to Have:\nGPU or HPC cluster build experience, ideally including InfiniBand and fat-tree or rail-optimised fabric designs.\nExperience leading a multi-person deployment team across more than one country.\nScripting experience, for example Python.\nWHAT WE OFFER\nCompetitive salary and annual discretionary bonus scheme\nEmployee wellbeing benefits\n25 days holiday, plus public holidays\nPrivate Medical Insurance\nEnhanced Pension Scheme\nRemote-first working, with international travel to our deployment sites\nReal ownership and autonomy - the trust to take initiative and experiment\nVisible, meaningful impact as we scale\nClear career progression in a high-growth company\nA collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership\nThe chance to help shape NexGen Cloud's team, culture, and future\nWHY APPLY\nWe welcome applications from all backgrounds. If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems and want to build something meaningful at scale, we'd like to hear from you.\nMORE INFORMATION\nVisit our careers page to learn more about us or follow us on LinkedIn and X to learn more about our journey and keep up with our latest news and releases.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4770,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T16:08:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":104,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T02:51:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T02:51:10Z","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":4363,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"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":678909},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678909"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-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%2Fnexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-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%2Fnexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-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/nexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnexgen-cloud-datacentre-deployment-lead"}]}
