Who We Are

Join us in putting the world’s compute behind the people building what comes next.

At Hyperbolic, we’re making global AI compute liquid. We bring fragmented, heterogeneous GPU capacity together into one unified, productive platform, making it easier to access, sell, resell, manage, and orchestrate the resources that power AI. For neocloud, we turn GPU capacity into productive infrastructure that delivers lasting value and accelerate their time to market.

We believe bold ideas deserve the computing power to become reality. We’re building toward a future where compute flows as freely as electricity, available when and where it’s needed, so builders everywhere can turn their most ambitious ideas into breakthroughs.

We’re looking for curious, driven people who take ownership, challenge assumptions, and care deeply about what they build. If you’re energized by hard problems and want to help shape how the world accesses AI, we’d love to build with you.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly technical Vice President of Infrastructure to build and scale the foundational infrastructure powering our AI cloud platform.

This is a hands-on executive leadership role. While you will own infrastructure strategy, organizational growth, and executive-level decision making, we expect you to remain deeply engaged in architecture, design, and engineering execution. You should expect to spend approximately 30-40% of your time directly contributing to technical design, architecture reviews, debugging critical production issues, and partnering with engineers on implementation.

The ideal candidate has previously built and scaled cloud platforms, preferably GPU-native cloud infrastructure supporting AI training and inference workloads. You have experience operating at the intersection of executive leadership and hands-on engineering and are excited to help build both the technology and the team.
