Helix, Vice President, Technical Lead – AI Infrastructure
Careers at KKR, New York, New York +1
The role
Helix is seeking a Vice President, Technical Lead to serve as the in-house technical authority on AI infrastructure across the full stack: electrical, mechanical and rack-level. The role is also the primary technical interface with hyperscaler, chip and supply chain counterparties. Investing in AI infrastructure increasingly requires judgment on questions that are genuinely technical, not just financial. These include power density and cooling architecture choices, rack-level design trends driven by next-generation silicon, and how quickly today's design assumptions will become obsolete.
The role must also look forward and advise on where the platform should build, partner or acquire capability, such as supply chain positioning or manufacturing integration. The aim is to compound Helix's advantage rather than simply underwrite today's assets. Its value lies in judgment and external credibility. The successful candidate will be treated as a peer in a hyperscaler's or chip vendor's design review. They will also have the pattern recognition to tell which technical trends are durable and which are faddish.
