Director of Data Center Operations at Together AI, responsible for designing and commissioning white space deployments across US and Asia sites, and building a 20-person break-fix and smart hands team from scratch to support high-density GPU infrastructure.
Together AI is scaling its physical AI infrastructure rapidly — and we're looking for a Director of Data Center Operations to help us build it right. This is a ground-floor opportunity to own the operational foundation of Together's growing data center portfolio across the US and Asia.
You'll be responsible for designing and commissioning white space deployments — taking pre-built environments and fitting them out with the power distribution, cooling distribution, and systems infrastructure needed to run high-density GPU workloads at scale. At the same time, you'll be building the break-fix and smart hands team from scratch: hiring, defining the playbook, and standing up the function that keeps our sites running around the clock.
This is not a steady-state operations role. It's a builder role. You'll be joining a small but fast-moving team, with real ownership over outcomes and the autonomy to shape how Together AI operates its physical infrastructure for years to come. If you've scaled data center infrastructure through hypergrowth before and want to do it again with more ownership — this is that opportunity.
Together AI is a research-driven AI infrastructure company on a mission to dramatically lower the cost of modern AI by co-designing software, hardware, algorithms, and models. We believe open and transparent AI systems create the best outcomes for society — and we're building the physical and computational foundation to make that real. Our team has been behind landmark advances including FlashAttention, Hyena, FlexGen, and RedPajama.
We offer competitive compensation, startup equity, health insurance and other competitive benefits. The US base salary range for this full-time position is: $250,000 - $300,000 + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by location, level and role. Individual compensation will be determined by experience, skills, and job-related knowledge.
Together AI is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is proud to offer equal employment opportunity to everyone regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, veteran status, and more.
