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
Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to tens of gigawatts.
Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.
Run the building management and controls systems (BMS, SCADA, EPMS) that keep live gigawatt-scale data centers cooling and powered in real time.
Own real-time load and thermal control across sites coming online in pieces, keeping the live halls running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
Write the operating procedures, alarm response runbooks, and control sequences that become the standard for every site that follows.
Diagnose and resolve controls faults on the floor, from a misbehaving chiller sequence to a breaker mis-operation, before they touch a training run.
Tune control sequences and setpoints to hold PUE and reliability targets as load ramps and hardware generations change.
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 operated the controls for live mission-critical facilities, data center, industrial, or power, and kept them running through faults, ramps, and construction next door.
You know BMS, SCADA, and EPMS platforms deep enough to diagnose a bad sequence or a misconfigured point, not just read the alarm.
You've written operating procedures and alarm response runbooks that other operators actually run.
You've resolved a real controls fault under pressure, on a live floor, with load on the line.
You tune control sequences and setpoints and can explain the tradeoff between reliability, efficiency, and cost.
You catch the drifting sensor or the wrong setpoint before it becomes an outage.
Bonus: Hyperscale or colocation data center operations. Liquid cooling controls. Electrical power monitoring systems. Behind-the-meter generation. Building the controls standards for a new fleet.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
