About this role

<h3><strong>About the Role</strong></h3> <p>Together AI is scaling its physical AI infrastructure rapidly — and we&39;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&39;s growing data center portfolio across the US and Asia.</p> <p>You&39;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&39;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.</p> <p>This is not a steady-state operations role. It&39;s a builder role. You&39;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&39;ve scaled data center infrastructure through hypergrowth before and want to do it again with more ownership — this is that opportunity.</p> <h3><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own the design, fit-out, and commissioning of white space sites across the US and Asia, with a focus on power distribution (PDUs), cooling distribution (CDUs), and IT-adjacent infrastructure</li> <li>Build and lead a ~20-person break-fix and smart hands team from scratch — define the operating model, hire the initial team, and establish the processes and playbooks that keep sites running</li> <li>Manage a portfolio of 5+ sites across two regions in various stages of deployment and live operation</li> <li>Partner with vendors, contractors, and equipment suppliers to drive site deployments to
