AI Compute and Infrastructure Counsel (Legal)

What You'll Do - Lead negotiation of large-scale compute and cloud capacity agreements with hyperscalers, neoclouds, and emerging providers - including capacity reservations, minimum commitments, service-level commitments, portability, and exit rights. - Own strategic hardware partnerships with chip, accelerator, server, and networking vendors. - Drive end-to-end legal support for data center and AI factory buildouts - colocation and hosting master agreements, ground and build-to-suit leases, engineering and construction contracts, interconnection agreements, power purchases and utility arrangements. - Structure and negotiate power arrangements: power purchase agreements, tolling agreements, utility service agreements, behind-the-meter generation, and long-term energy and transmission commitments. - Serve as legal lead on strategic infrastructure transactions - joint ventures, site acquisitions, and bespoke financing structures supporting the AI factory roadmap. - Build scalable playbooks, templates, and delegation frameworks so our commercial and infrastructure teams can move at speed without sacrificing rigor. - Partner with Security, Privacy, and Policy colleagues on cross-cutting issues: tenant isolation, customer data flows, sovereign compute, and engagement with regulators. - Manage specialized outside counsel across real estate, energy, hardware, and construction.

What We're Looking For - J.D. and active bar membership (or in-house registration) in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. - At least 8+ years of relevant legal experience, ideally with a combination of law firm and in-house experience, with a meaningful track record leading complex infrastructure, hardware supply, or cloud/compute transactions. - Demonstrated depth in at least two of the following, and working fluency across the rest: - Strategic hardware partnerships and supply agreements (semiconductors, accelerators, servers, networking, or comparable). - Hyperscaler and cloud capacity agreements, ideally from the enterprise customer side. - Power purchase, utility, and energy contracting. - Data center leases, colocation and hosting, and large-scale buildout contracting. - Comfortable operating independently on fast-moving, first-of-their-kind deals while setting a high bar for quality and speed. - Significant experience managing and directing a deal team and outside counsel. - Sound commercial judgment - you know when to push, when to paper around an issue, and when to escalate. - Clear written and verbal communication; able to translate contractual complexity for non-lawyer stakeholders. - Technical fluency and strong business acumen across compute transactions, project finance, and technology and hardware procurement.

We are building this function from the ground up, not inheriting one. Nice to Have - Prior experience at an AI lab, hyperscaler, semiconductor company, or large-scale data center operator. - Exposure to construction, real estate or land use matters. - Familiarity with tax and financing structures for capital-intensive infrastructure. - Government, regulatory, or national-security background, including export controls.
