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 have worked with high-throughput messaging systems (NATS, Kafka, or equivalent) at real scale and you know where the failure modes are before they surface in production
- You have designed time-series data models in ClickHouse, TimescaleDB, or a comparable system and you understand the tradeoffs between write throughput, query performance, and schema evolution
- You have instrumented production services with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent) and you treat metrics and alerting as part of shipping, not something you add after the fact
- You have built and owned production services that other teams depend on, and you do not ship code you would not want to be paged for at 3am
- You design before you build. You can name the patterns you reach for and why, explain the alternatives you rejected, and point to a system you deliberately refactored because the original design stopped fitting the problem
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!
