Company Overview

Dataprana is a North American digital infrastructure company headquartered in Miami, Florida, specializing in AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data center development. With a 500-megawatt energized site pipeline across multiple U.S. states and an ambitious goal of 5 GW by 2030, we are building a distributed network of mid-scale, modular data centers optimized for speed-to-market deployment.

We provide the infrastructure backbone for current and future data center industry needs, with the capability to deploy faster and leaner than traditional developers. Our approach focuses on land acquisition, power strategy, permitting, and rapid energization—delivering a steady flow of ready-to-build and ready-to-energize sites to meet the explosive demand from AI/GPUaaS providers and other compute-intensive customers.

Our mission is to pioneer the future of AI infrastructure through sustainable, efficient solutions that deliver long-term value to our clients, partners, and team. Building on our proven expertise in power strategy and operational excellence, we are positioned to become a leader in AI/HPC data centers across the United States.

About the Role

As Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you will be a key member of the Executive Team, responsible for financial strategy, capital formation, and investor relations across Dataprana and its subsidiaries. You will lead long-term financial planning, oversee fundraising initiatives, and ensure that the company's financial foundation supports our aggressive growth trajectory toward 5 GW of AI/HPC data center capacity by 2030.

The CFO will serve as a strategic advisor to the CEO and leadership team—guiding decision-making through disciplined financial analysis and structuring sophisticated financing solutions for Dataprana's rapidly expanding multi-state infrastructure pipeline. This is a high-impact role for a builder who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments where financial strategy directly enables operational scale.

We are looking for a leader who has:

Proven success designing and implementing financial systems for infrastructure or digital asset companies
Demonstrated experience raising $100M+ in capital and building investment structures or funds
An ownership mentality to manage and scale company finances end-to-end
The drive to deliver measurable results and build enduring enterprise value in a startup environment

If you are ready to bring that level of impact and help us build something exceptional, we want to hear from you.
