Full Job Description

About Us Gimlet is building the next generation of AI infrastructure: large-scale AI datacenters and the orchestration platform that coordinates them. The future of AI will require vastly more compute than exists today. But as AI workloads become more complex and new hardware architectures emerge, simply deploying more GPUs isn't enough. The challenge is making increasingly diverse compute work together. Gimlet's platform intelligently partitions and routes workloads across heterogeneous hardware, enabling step-function improvements in performance and efficiency. Customers deploy through production-grade APIs without needing to think about hardware selection, placement, or optimization. We work with foundation labs, hyperscalers, and AI-native companies to power production workloads at massive scale and help define the infrastructure layer for the future of AI. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a pragmatic, execution-oriented General Counsel to help build the legal and commercial foundation of Gimlet as we scale infrastructure deployments, strategic partnerships, financing activities, and enterprise customer relationships. This role will be a core strategic partner to the leadership team, helping navigate complex commercial negotiations involving multi-party deal structures, competing IP interests, infrastructure agreements, financing arrangements, and emerging AI regulatory frameworks. Many of Gimlet’s most important deals will involve three or more parties with layered commercial, technical, and ownership considerations, making this a defining challenge of the role. WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON - Lead legal strategy and execution across commercial, corporate, financing, infrastructure, regulatory, and operational matters. - Negotiate and manage complex multi-party agreements with customers, infrastructure providers, hardware vendors, financing partners, and strategic partners. - Structure and advise on deals involving three or more parties, competing IP interests, layere
