About Giga

At Giga, we develop, build, and operate AI energy infrastructure that powers the modern world. And we’reon a mission to fix the broken energy infrastructure experience — permanently. Our vertically integrated approach stacks site origination and development, infrastructure manufacturing, and power market participation under one operating system. Founded in Texas, Giga partners with AI hyperscalers, data center operators and other energy infrastructure teams to deliver projects faster.

Why Join Us

• The Pace: You will own projects moving faster than anywhere else in the industry.
• The Impact: You are the person who turns "concepts" into "contracts" and "permits."
• The Team: Work with a world-class group of engineers and builders defining the future of AI infrastructure.

What You'll Do

The AI infrastructure buildout is one of the most consequential capital deployment cycles of our generation — and Giga is at the center of it. Giga designs and manufactures AI power infrastructure at industry-best lead times, with 4.5  GW delivered to date. We offer complete product lines of cooling solutions, transformers, and switchboards tailored for high-density GPU clusters, end-to-end site origination and development, and a fully managed hosting model that lets customers scale GPU clusters without carrying the full development or construction burden. We do it all in-house — engineering, manufacturing, construction — out of our Long Beach, CA and Houston, TX factory footprints, with faster lead times and predictable pricing that reduces supply-chain risk for large, time-sensitive AI builds.

As Head of Data Center Solutions, you will own and execute Giga's strategy to become the preferred AI infrastructure, site development, and colocation partner for the world's largest hyperscalers, GPU cloud providers, and enterprise AI operators. This is not a relationship management role — it is a market-making role. You will bring Giga's full platform to market: from turnkey, rack-ready sites with direct fiber and on-site power, to $/kW-month hosting models tailored to site characteristics, to prefabricated modular deployments purpose-built for high-density compute. You will build and lead a team of elite business development managers, develop the commercial frameworks that underpin every deal, and close landmark agreements that position Giga as the infrastructure backbone of the AI era. If you thrive at the intersection of complex enterprise sales, infrastructure strategy, and emerging technology — and want to build something that didn't exist before — this is the role for you.

Where You'll Work

We move fast because we're building real infrastructure — and the best work happens when people are in the room together. This role is open to remote or in-office, with one caveat: if you're within 45 minutes of our Houston or San Francisco offices, we expect you to be there regularly. Wherever you're based, travel is part of the job — think customer sites, cross-functional sessions at our hubs, and industry events. If you thrive in motion and understand that showing up drives results, you'll fit right in.

• Willingness to travel regularly to customer sites, Giga hub offices, and industry events

• Prior experience at a data center developer, REIT, or colocation provider (e.g., wholesale or hyperscale-focused)
• Experience operating in a high-growth startup or scaling a new business unit within a larger organization
