Remote or hybrid, with regular travel to data center markets, customer deployment sites, vendor locations, and company operating sessions expected.

Acasia builds, deploys, and operates high-performance GPU infrastructure for enterprise AI workloads. Our customers rely on Acasia to deliver production-grade GPU environments that are performant, reliable, scalable, and supportable in real-world data center conditions.

The Vice President of Infrastructure & Deployment owns the successful delivery, implementation, commissioning, and operational readiness of Acasia's AI infrastructure across customer and data center environments.

This executive owns the complete delivery lifecycle—from customer handoff after contract execution through deployment planning, installation, networking, cluster bring‑up, validation, production acceptance, and ongoing optimization—ensuring every GPU cluster is delivered safely, on schedule, on budget, and to Acasia's standards before entering production.

The VP will build and lead Acasia's Infrastructure Delivery organization, managing field engineering teams that implement large‑scale GPU clusters across multiple data centers and customer locations. They will establish deployment methodologies, technical standards, playbooks, commissioning procedures, and quality controls while driving continuous improvement in deployment speed, consistency, and customer experience. They will work hand‑in‑hand with customers, Sales, Customer Success, Engineering, Product, Operations, Procurement, OEM partners, networking vendors, and data center operators.

Build the industry's fastest, most reliable GPU infrastructure deployment organization—taking customer environments from signed contract to production in weeks instead of months.
