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 designed data center network fabrics from requirements through deployment, not just configured them, and can explain the tradeoffs behind every decision
  • You have deep L1 to L3 expertise: CLOS/fat-tree topologies, BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, and the fundamentals underneath them
  • You design lossless RDMA (RoCEv2) fabrics and understand congestion management at training scale
  • You reason from first principles through novel design challenges rather than pattern-matching to one reference architecture
  • You partner across Hardware, DC Operations, ICT, Software, and Validation so designs are buildable and operationally sound
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.
