About the company

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!

How we operate

  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • Own CNC and structural steel processing: beam lines, plate processing, saws, and drills running at takt.
  • Program and optimize the machines: nesting, tooling, and cycle times that feed downstream without piles.
  • Commission new steel processing equipment and prove it to rate.
  • Own the tooling and preventive maintenance strategy so uptime holds through the ramp.

Requirements

  • You've engineered CNC or steel processing operations in a structural or heavy fabrication environment.
  • You've programmed beam lines or plate processing equipment.
  • You nest for material yield and know what a point of yield is worth.
  • You've owned equipment uptime and driven it with data.
  • You work the floor with operators, not above them.

Nice-to-have skills

  • Peddinghaus, Ficep, or Voortman platforms.
  • CAM systems.
  • Tekla interface.
  • Cutting and drilling process depth.
