ABOUT BASETEN Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F , led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. THE ROLE This role owns Baseten's relationships and market intelligence across hyperscalers and strategic neoclouds, including NVIDIA cloud partners. This is a technical and commercial role in equal measure: you'll evaluate capacity from the GPU to the data center, negotiate cost and terms with suppliers, and stay close enough to the market to develop and defend a real point of view on where it's heading. Given current market conditions, Baseten needs a much stronger pulse on this part of the market so we can track pricing, stay close to the right relationships, and move fast the moment more capacity is needed. This is a senior, experienced hire who will also help pair with and develop 1-2 junior to mid-level teammates covering the same space. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and maintain deep relationships across hyperscalers and strategic neoclouds (including NVIDIA cloud partners), working each organization from top to bottom rather than a single point of contact Maintain a consistent, "top of mind" presence with key accounts so Baseten is positioned to move quickly when capacity needs arise Evaluate capacity from the GPU to the data center — hardware generation, rack and node configuration, interconnect, power density, and cooling — so you know what a configuration will actually deliver, not just what the spec sheet claims Live in compute pricing daily: track rates by GPU generation, region, and contract term to keep Baseten inf
About the Team OpenAI Finance is responsible for ensuring the organization is set up for success in pursuit of its mission.

About the Role As Senior Manager, Technical Accounting, Compute Infrastructure, you will lead the evaluation, documentation, and operationalization of complex accounting matters related to OpenAI's compute infrastructure, strategic investments, and other non-routine business activities.. This role sits at the intersection of U.S. GAAP technical accounting, infrastructure strategy, financial reporting, controls, and cross-functional execution. Key areas may include cloud compute arrangements, data center and colocation arrangements, lease accounting under ASC 842, power purchase agreements, strategic investments, consolidation evaluations under ASC 810, financial instruments, and other emerging or non-standard arrangements.

NVIDIA builds the silicon behind AI, accelerated computing, and graphics. Every watt of performance and every degree of thermal headroom traces back to decisions made in power, performance, and thermal architecture. We are the Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG). We identify, own, and drive system-level co-design ideas. We start with initial concepts and advance to product differentiation across NVIDIA's roadmap. We are hiring a Principal System Power Management and Performance Architect who operates at the ambiguous boundary where workload behavior, silicon capabilities, firmware policies, and platform constraints collide, and who turns that ambiguity into architecture that survives across multiple silicon generations. SCG scope spans architecture, design, software, operations, platforms, and productization. This role shapes system, platform, and data center features and behavior, and partners with teams across NVIDIA. What You'll Be Doing: The work here is rarely well-defined when it arrives. You will be given problems that appear to be performance gaps or power anomalies and encouraged to build a framework for solving them, not just tackle a single instance. Define the multi-generation roadmap for system-level power and performance features, grounded in prototyping, use-case analysis, and cost/benefit trade-offs across segments. You will decide what problems are worth solving and why. Own the architecture and integration strategy for HSIO power management, DVFS, P-states, and low-power features. Your decisions improve product performance, power, and reliability across product lines — not just the current program. Lead system-level boot and IST architecture defining how power and clock domains initialize, sequence, and recover across complex multi-IP systems where the interaction space is large and the failure modes matter. Drive power management strategy at data
