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!
Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
Examples of key problems the team is working on
Lead the design, development, and execution of 10s to 100s of GWs of data centers this decade.
Drive the next generation of liquid cooling and electrical distribution systems.
Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers.
Influence behind-the-meter designs and planning for multi-GW campuses.
Own the architectural workstream across a multi-site development portfolio from concept through permitting and construction completion.
Develop and maintain the architectural basis of design, prototype drawing packages, and master specs for the campus portfolio.
Lead masterplan and campus layout: building positioning, setbacks, service access, security zoning, and phasing across multi-building sites.
Own building envelope design (cladding, roofing, curtainwall, louvers, penetration detailing) in compliance with FM Global requirements.
Manage external architects and engineers of record from schematic through IFC, enforcing standards and tracking quality across concurrent projects.
Lead permitting strategy across jurisdictions and ensure compliance with IBC, IFC, NFPA 75/76/855, state codes, and ADA.
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 owned the architectural workstream on data center or mission-critical facilities as an owner's representative or developer, not just as a consultant.
You've managed external architects and engineers of record through full design lifecycles across concurrent projects.
You know IBC, IFC, occupancy classification, egress, and fire-rated assembly design well enough to be the authority with AHJs.
You've authored owner-side design standards, prototype specs, or basis of design documents.
You hold envelope and life-safety design to FM Global and code standards through field conditions and contractor-driven changes.
Bonus: Licensed Architect. Hyperscale data center or large-scale industrial development. FM Global envelope and roofing submittal process. Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Procore, ACC. LEED AP.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
