Sydney
circa $250k base neg. We’ve just kicked off a Head of Platform search with a new client of ours. This is a billion dollar+ Australian business who have just created a current tech company
an AI-focused cloud business building the kind of high-performance compute that the next wave of AI products will run on. We are looking to make the companies first tech hire
someone to get the platform architected, designed and live quick, working with hardware vendors, data centre operators and cloud providers. Over time, bring it in-house and build their own infrastructure and engineering team from the ground up. Think of it like a founding engineer for the data centre space, with the support of the wider business around you. Very much startup vibes and it is going to be a bit nuts, 2bh. We’re looking for someone who’s spent 10+ years in tech leadership (VP Eng, Head of Infra or CTO level)



from the networking world with deep cloud and production Kubernetes experience, plus a track record of infrastructure buildouts and data centre partnerships. HPC or GPU cluster exp (NVIDIA, InfiniBand, Lustre/Ceph) is ideally needed also. Reporting to the CEO and Board, you’ll own:
Tech strategy, architecture and the engineering roadmap
Large-scale Kubernetes for distributed, high-throughput workloads
Vendor, co-location and hardware procurement strategy
CapEx/OpEx, GPU utilisation and platform uptime
Hiring and scaling a top-tier infra and DevOps team This is a genuine greenfield build that you’ll own shape the platform and the team. I can confidently say this is a great prospect for someone who wants to go in and create/build something that has huge potential.
