About The Role

Together AI is rapidly scaling its compute infrastructure across multiple sites and deployment types. The Associate, Infrastructure Strategy & Operations will be the analytical backbone of the Infrastructure Strategy team, powering the research, benchmarking, and operational analysis across the team's core workstreams, including capacity planning, compute sourcing, vendor evaluation, and site selection.

Responsibilities

  • Support the Infrastructure Strategy team's planning process by gathering data, running comparisons, and preparing materials and recommendations for leadership reviews.
  • Build internal trackers and dashboards that help the team monitor infrastructure deployments, vendor pipelines, and compute allocations across products and customers
  • Maintain and improve the team's sourcing comparison frameworks across location, vendor, and site evaluation workstreams, in partnership with Finance and Infra Eng.
  • Run analyses to support capacity allocation decisions.
  • Research and evaluate data center sites and energy sourcing options, comparing power availability, connectivity, permitting timelines, deployment readiness, and reliability.

  • Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets, familiarity with SQL or data visualization tools, and comfort with AI productivity tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex).
  • Strong quantitative skills with a data-driven approach to problem-solving and comfort building analyses from scratch.
  • Ability to learn new domains quickly and operate effectively in unfamiliar territory.
  • Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and keep information current.
  • Clear communicator who can present data and comparisons to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have
