Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, builds Gigawatt-scale AI Factories for Training and Inference. Lambda’s mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give every person access to artificial intelligence. One person, one GPU.

If you'd like to build the world's best deep learning cloud, join us. 

*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

The People Team at Lambda is building the kind of company we all want to work for. We move fast, cut through noise, and care deeply - about clarity, fairness, growth, and getting the details right. From hiring to offboarding (and everything in between), we make sure every Lambda has the support, tools, and structure to thrive. Our scope includes recruiting, rewards, L&D, employee relations, communications, and culture - all the things that shape a great place to work.

We’re growing fast, and we need a Director of Real Estate & Workplace to make sure our spaces keep up. This role is equal parts strategy and execution: overseeing real estate and facilities, while also creating workplace experiences that drive productivity, connection, and culture across Lambda.

What You’Ll Do

• Be the go-to contact for all facilities issues.
• Ensure all properties meet safety and regulatory requirements.
• Own the annual budget for facilities and workplace operations.
• Build strong, efficient vendor relationships.
• Manage vendors and negotiate contracts.
• Oversee, open, and maintain all company office properties.
• Plan for growth and ensure our spaces scale with us.
• Create spaces that bring Lambda’s culture to life.
• Make the workplace engaging, productive, and fun.
• Lead and support a team of office coordinators.
• Keep offices humming: supplies, security, space, amenities.
• Partner with our engagement team on all-hands and team events.
• Manage building upkeep, safety, and security systems.

You

• Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Business, or a related field.
• 5–10+ years in corp facilities/operations and vendor management.

• Strong negotiation and contract management skills.
• Experienced in hyper-growth environments—adaptable and hands-on.
• Knowledge of workplace experience, employee engagement programs.
• Organized, detail-oriented, great at juggling multiple priorities, own outcomes.
• Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll have a front-row seat to the growth of a company shaping the future of tech—and you’ll have a direct hand in making that growth possible. We value speed, tenacity, creativity, and being excellent to each other. If you want a seat where you can make a huge impact every day, this is it.

Do you see the office as more than four walls and some desks? Can you negotiate a lease in the morning and plan a team event in the afternoon? How can you make compliance and safety number one, but don’t let them kill the vibe? If you like to move fast, solve problems, and find creative ways to make the workplace better, let’s talk.
