Creative Director
About the role
Every solar and wind power plant is a latent data center. Rune connects power to the compute that needs it. Solar plants generate electricity the grid can't take: clipped by inverters, curtailed by operators, gone before it ever reaches a meter. Meanwhile, AI needs more power than new construction can deliver in time. Rune is building the fastest path to gigawatts of compute. Our product, RELIC, plugs directly into clean energy assets to deliver AI inference compute - no grid connection, no construction, and deployment in weeks. It's a radically simpler model: compute that comes online faster, costs a fraction of a traditional AI data center, and scales as fast as we can manufacture it. We're backed by Spark Capital, Union Square Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Activate Capital, Committed Capital, Timeless Partners, and Logos Fund. As Creative Director, you will own how Rune looks and how Rune is seen: the industrial design of the RELIC, the brand system and documents, the spaces we work in, and the launches, campaigns, and press that help communicate with our stakeholders. You are our first design hire, an industrial designer with intuition on brand, and you will build this function from scratch as the company scales around it.
