Compute & Storage Infrastructure Sourcing Lead
Jane StreetNew York, New York, United States · Posted 2 months agoDescription
About the Position
Jane Street's compute footprint is growing fast, and we’re looking for someone who can support buying across memory, NAND, and CPU infrastructure. This position will be at the heart of our technology stack, with a focus on growing our hardware relationships and strengthening our partnerships with our most critical vendors.
The ideal candidate is a technologist with the ambition and vision to grow these capabilities—someone who is equally comfortable managing complex commercial deals and partnering with our engineers, researchers, and traders to define and challenge our requirements.
Additional responsibilities of the role will include:
- Owning direct relationships with strategic component manufacturers across DRAM, NAND, and CPU
- Leading the full lifecycle of commercial and technical negotiations for securing multi-year capacity contracts and allocations from manufacturers
- Partnering with our engineering and Infrastructure teams to translate technical requirements into sourcing strategy and to feed supply-side intelligence (e.g., lead times, roadmaps, allocation cycles) back into capacity planning
- Forecasting demand and managing the supply pipeline against the firm's growth in compute and storage
- Working closely with our hardware procurement and demand planning teams to provide a view of component supplier vs. OEM/ODM allocation commitments
About You
- Have an understanding of both hardware and strategic sourcing, and are familiar with the hardware procurement and deployment life cycle for hyperscalers, OEMs, ODMs, and component manufacturers
- You’re someone who enjoys building and cultivating supplier relationships; ideally, you have existing relationships with one or more of the major DRAM, NAND, or CPU manufacturers
- Have a deep working understanding of how allocation cycles and consigned/customer-furnished component models work in practice
- Experienced with negotiating long-term supply agreements
- Possess enough technical depth to engage substantively with engineers on how we plan to use the hardware
- Comfortable with commercial complexity (e.g., netting allocations through OEM bills of materials, handling warranties for non-OEM-sourced parts, and engaging brokers and distributors)
- Willing and able to learn a new domain (we don’t expect deep expertise in every aspect of the supply chain, but we do expect a strong intellectual curiosity and an ability to learn quickly)
- A strong negotiator; equally comfortable working collaboratively with internal partners and pushing hard with external vendors
- Interested in understanding both the macro-level strategy and the micro-level details of our procurement process
