About the role

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

What they're looking for

  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would
  • You've run a hardware lab, NPI program, or qualification facility and owned its day-to-day operation, from equipment intake to floor discipline to schedule
  • You've managed technicians and engineers directly, set the standard for work quality on the floor, and been the escalation point your team called first when something broke
  • You've worked hands-on with liquid cooling and high-density power, close enough to a CDU loop and a 100 kW rack that technicians take your direction seriously
  • You've hosted vendor or customer engineering teams on your own floor and kept their equipment, access, and confidentiality boundaries clean
  • Inventory and asset discipline are habits, not afterthoughts: every device you've received, racked, RMA'd, or shipped was accounted for without an audit scramble
More about this role

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

Reason from first principles. Challenge...
