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
Build the financial infrastructure from the ground up (NetSuite, Zip, Shareworks, Pigment).
Stand up a lean finance org for the fastest-growing data center hyperscaler.
Own the full stack from vendor invoice to cap table.
Own technical accounting positions across revenue recognition, leases, project finance, and equity, writing the memos that document how the company accounts for first-of-a-kind data center transactions.
Run the financial reporting close and produce accurate financial statements on a fast cycle as the company scales toward audit and public-company readiness.
Stand up technical accounting policies and controls from the ground up on a lean finance stack (NetSuite, Zip, Shareworks, Pigment).
Manage the external audit relationship, preparing the support and positions that let auditors sign off without surprises.
Partner with strategic finance, legal, and commercial teams to structure and account for complex, high-value transactions correctly the first time.
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 written technical accounting memos on complex areas such as revenue recognition, leases, business combinations, or equity, and they held up under audit scrutiny.
You've owned a financial reporting close and produced GAAP financial statements on a demanding timeline.
You've built accounting policies, processes, or controls from scratch rather than maintaining a mature function.
You've managed external auditors through a full audit and resolved contentious positions without the timeline blowing up.
You've worked through the accounting for genuinely novel or complex transactions where the precedent was thin.
You explain technical accounting conclusions clearly enough that non-accountants can act on them.
Bonus: CPA. Big Four technical accounting or national-office background. Capital-intensive industry experience (data centers, energy, real estate, infrastructure). NetSuite or comparable ERP implementation. Pre-IPO or audit-readiness experience.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
