Job Description
AI Compute and Infrastructure Counsel
Reflections Info Systems
• 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.
Job Requirements
- 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.
Benefits
- Top-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain the best talent globally.
- Health & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
- Life & family: Fully paid parental leave for all new parents, including adoptive and surrogate journeys. Financial support for family planning.
- Benefits & balance: paid time off when you need it, relocation support, and more perks that optimize your time.
- Opportunities to connect with teammates: lunch and dinner are provided daily. We have regular off-sites and team celebrations.
