Technical Lead – Planning Systems & Data

Job Type: Full-Time l Location: San Francisco, CA l Department: AI Infrastructure Supply Chain l Reporting to: Senior Director, IBP AI Infrastructure | Work Location Type: #hybrid

IREN is a leading AI Cloud Service Provider, delivering large-scale GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s vertically integrated platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and data centers in renewable-rich regions across the U.S. and Canada.

As the Technical Lead for Supply Chain Planning Systems and Data, you will architect, scale, and own the technical roadmap for the platforms that drive our global data center footprint. You will bridge the gap between complex supply chain business processes - such as Demand Planning, Capacity Forecasting, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and S&OP - and cutting-edge software and data systems. You will transform massive datasets into real-time, actionable orchestration engines, ensuring our data centers have the hardware they need ahead of cloud demand curves.

With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way - responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.

Responsibilities

• Define the end-to-end technical architecture and data strategy for IREN’s proprietary and integrated supply chain planning platforms, and own the technical roadmap for them.
• Translate supply chain business problems (for example component shortage constraints and component transitions) into scalable software requirements and technical roadmaps.
• Lead the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Planning (SCP) systems (for example SAP and Oracle) with bespoke internal microservices and telemetry data.
• Oversee the design and optimization of high-throughput distributed data pipelines, both batch and real-time streaming, handling telemetry, hardware pipeline milestones and vendor forecasting.
• Partner with Data Science to deploy machine learning and advanced analytics models for component-level demand forecasting, lead-time anomaly detection and buffer stock optimization.
• Own the demand and supply planning master data strategy and roadmap for IREN’s AI infrastructure supply chain, defining which domains are mastered, where each is sourced and how master data is distributed to consuming systems.
• Define the source-of-truth system and record for all master data, including Part Master, Material/Item Master, Product Master, Supplier Master, Customer Master (the data center as the customer entity), Asset Master and Service Master, and own the mapping of master data domains to their source-of-truth systems.
• Design and govern the integration architecture by which ERP, PLM, procurement, quality, inventory and warehouse, finance and project-controls systems ingest, exchange and reconcile master data, working with IT and Data Engineering on APIs, middleware and data pipelines.
• Ensure systematic linkages are in place to flow master data from the source of truth to downstream systems, and that the integrity of master records is maintained and compliant over the life cycle of the record.
• Establish master data governance policies, data ownership, stewardship roles and approval workflows, and serve as the senior escalation point for data standards, conflicts and exceptions.
• Define master data quality KPIs (completeness, accuracy, consistency, timeliness, duplication) and drive root-cause remediation with system owners, stewards and Data Engineering.
• Develop and lead periodic data reviews and audits in partnership with functional data owners to ensure accuracy.
• Partner with Analytics and Data Engineering to publish conformed dimensions, reference data and a data catalog so analysts and business users can find, trust and consistently use master data.
• Translate business definitions from Finance, Sourcing, Quality and Operations into structured, system-ready master data standards, and resolve conflicting requirements across functions.
• Identify systemic gaps in data capture, identifiers and cross-system mappings, and lead continuous-improvement initiatives to close them.
• Publish master data health and integration status reporting for leadership, with clear risks and recommended actions.
• Provide technical direction and code review standards to a team of software and data engineers, fostering an agile, innovation-driven culture.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Operations Research, Data Science, Supply Chain Management, Engineering or a related quantitative field; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in software development and data engineering, with at least 3 years in a formal Technical Lead or Architect capacity, ideally at a hyperscaler, cloud provider, OEM/ODM or AI infrastructure company.
• Proven track record building or scaling software for supply chain planning, such as S&OP, demand planning, supply planning, spares planning, inventory optimization, factory capacity scheduling or material tracking.
• Deep proficiency with big data technologies and distributed computing frameworks (for example Spark, Flink and Kafka) and cloud data warehouses (for example Snowflake and BigQuery).
• Strong proficiency in languages such as Java, Python or Go, with deep knowledge of microservices architecture, API design and system modeling.
• Extensive experience designing and deploying cloud-native applications on hyperscale environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
• Proven experience designing and owning enterprise data models and domains (material/part, supplier, customer, BOM, site/project, cost center and chart-of-accounts mappings), including hierarchies, taxonomies, attributes and lifecycle rules.
• Strong technical understanding of how master data flows between ERP, PLM, procurement/P2P, quality (QMS), inventory and warehouse, finance and project-controls systems, and of the integration patterns (APIs, middleware, extracts, CDC, event-based) used to keep them in sync.
• Hands-on experience with ERP master data (SAP ECC, S/4HANA, Oracle) and SCP tools (Kinaxis, SAP IBP, Oracle Fusion DP/SP, JDA), including customizing or interfacing with them through modern API frameworks.
• Working expertise with data-quality measurement, data stewardship operating models and change-control workflows for master data creation, change and obsolescence.
• Experience leading cross-functional planning with Finance, Procurement, Quality and Commercial teams.
• Strong hands-on problem solving, data analysis and communication skills, with the ability to operate autonomously across finance, supply chain, quality, IT and data engineering teams.
• Experience with high-tech hardware supply chains, data center infrastructure manufacturing or server component tracking preferred.
• Familiarity with linear programming, MILP or heuristic optimization techniques used in logistics or inventory planning preferred.

Other important requirements

• Pre-employment screening, including background check and substance testing, may be required according to company policies.
• Must be able to reliably commute to the assigned office location on scheduled in-office days under the hybrid work arrangement.
• This role may involve periodic travel to supplier and vendor sites, data centers and industry events.
• IREN does not yet have an office in the Bay Area (a Santa Clara office is planned); until it opens, this role will work remotely, transitioning to hybrid on-site work once the office is established.
