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 move toward ambiguity, not away from it. You walk into the fog, build the map, and explain it to everyone else
  • You learn at a steep slope. You reach real competence in an unfamiliar domain fast, whether it's a workflow engine, an authz model, or a geospatial format. We value this over existing expertise
  • You have taste in abstraction. You see the one primitive hiding under five janky one-offs, and you know when not to abstract
  • You model domains with rigor earned the hard way. You've gotten it wrong, felt the pain, and never forgot it
  • You pull structure out of mess. You've done real work turning messy, unstructured data into something usable, in ML, data engineering, or research
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.

Reason from first principles. Challenge...
