Data Centers Database Queries

Job description

  • Identify and size opportunities where built or committed data center capacity, power, compute, or otherwise, isn’t converting to revenue
  • Partner with Capacity Planning, Product Management, and deal desk or legal to understand the technical, contractual, and commercial constraints behind each opportunity
  • Translate probabilistic or technical models, built by Capacity Planning or others, into financial terms: expected value, cost of getting it wrong, and a recommended course of action
  • Make the call on how much risk to take in exploiting a given gap, and defend that call to stakeholders across engineering, product, and leadership
  • Build durable financial frameworks for opportunities once they’re proven out, while still fielding live decisions on things already in motion

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in financial planning, corporate finance, or capital allocation, ideally somewhere capital-intensive (infrastructure, utilities, real estate, or similar) where you’ve weighed committed capacity or capex against risk
  • Comfort with probabilistic thinking, distributions, expected value, tail risk, enough to work with a technical model someone else built without needing to build it yourself
  • Technical curiosity to pick up unfamiliar infrastructure concepts quickly
  • SQL proficiency, or similar, to pull and validate data yourself
  • Experience partnering with Product Management on pricing or product decisions
  • Enough contract fluency to work through what’s allowed under existing customer agreements
  • Comfort holding a position under pressure from stakeholders who want to move faster than the risk picture supports

Bonus Points:

  • Familiarity with GPU cloud economics
  • Knowledge of data center design and utilization metrics
  • Experience with interruptible, spot, or committed-use pricing models

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive compensation and equity packages
  • Restricted Stock Units
  • Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs
  • Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance
  • Employer contributions to HSA account
  • Paid parental leave
  • Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability
  • Professional development & tuition reimbursement
  • Mental health & wellness support
  • Commuter benefits (parking & transit)
  • Cell phone stipend
  • 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary
  • Volunteer time off
  • Global travel insurance & emergency assistance
  • Daily meals allowance
  • Additional perks & programs specific to location

Compensation Range

Compensation will be paid in the range of up to $160,000 to $195,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicant’s knowledge, education, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
