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 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.
Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.
Examples of key problems the team is working on
Automate the delivery of gigawatts. Every process that takes AI infrastructure from land to live compute becomes software: schedules, decisions, and todos generated from a live knowledge graph instead of chased by hand.
Forward-deploy beside the experts. Product teams sit with quality managers, sourcing leads, and deployment engineers on factory floors and sites, and turn their judgment into systems that reach every unit.
Deliver every supercomputer faster than the last. Dozens of concurrent projects feed one graph, so every lesson learned at one site becomes a preventive check at all of them.
Build the fleet health system: real-time telemetry and tiered healthchecks on every machine across Kubernetes and bare metal, rolled into one API the whole company trusts to answer "is this machine healthy," with alarms correlated into incidents that reach on-call with a drafted probable cause.
Turn repair and RMA into generated work: one tracked flow from failure detection through triage, parts, vendor return, and return to service, where failure thresholds route machines to repair automatically, each production engineer's shift todo list is generated for them, and time to return to service is a number the system reports.
Ship hardware qualification as software: burn-in, performance baselining, and new hardware validation composed into rack-level workflows, so bringing thousands of accelerators online is a repeatable run and every machine enters production with its acceptance evidence attached in the graph.
Run the facility on the same system as the fleet: the maintenance system for lockout tagout and work orders is live at one site and rolls out to two more, every asset register loads before the first external audit this fall, and the legacy datacenter inventory retires before the next building energizes. You own the asset model, the migration, and the day the old tools switch off.
Turn every runbook into a checked procedure: SOPs, training records, and technician qualifications become structured data the customer can audit, and site SLOs, deployment cycle time, and labor ramp report themselves on the dashboards a hyperscaler customer asked for. You work forward-deployed beside production engineers and facility operators, on site and on the rotation, and build what they use the next shift.
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 shipped production code in Go, Python, or TypeScript, and you pick up whatever language the problem demands.
You've built real features on LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-weight models), MCP servers, and agentic frameworks.
You work daily with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, and you get agents doing useful work autonomously alongside you.
You identify problems, design the solution, and ship it without waiting for direction or approval.
You've moved fast under deadline while leaving foundations that other engineers extended after you moved on.
You've sat the on-call rotation or worked beside the people who do, and you've turned operational pain into systems that made the pager quieter.
Your product taste shows in what you've shipped: interfaces the engineers on the rotation call obvious, and workflows that match how the work actually happens.
Bonus: Production engineering or SRE on large GPU fleets. Hardware qualification or burn-in frameworks. BMC, Redfish, or IPMI tooling. CMMS, DCIM, or asset management systems. BMS/EPMS or SCADA. Prometheus and Grafana.
Benefits:
Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity)
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Retirement plan
Generous PTO policy
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
