Are you ready to shape the financial baseline for the next generation of global AI infrastructure?
At WNTD, we are defining the future of AI infrastructure as a fully vertically integrated platformspanning capital, compute clusters, and proprietary software under a founder-led enterprise.

Backed by a $10 billion strategic partnership with a leading frontier AI lab, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5 billion AI Infrastructure Fund, WNTD is expanding rapidly from our core bases in London, Palo Alto, and New York. To power this next phase of hyper-growth, we are seeking a Global Estimating Manager to join our London team on a hybrid basis and take complete ownership of how WNTD prices, benchmarks, and baselines what it builds.
