Sourcing Manager, Steel

We exist to make humanity more free. Technology has historically given people more time for the things they want to do, instead of things they have 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. 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.

About the Team

The Supply Chain Team is working on key problems such as:

• Supplying tens of gigawatts of compute, the largest build-out of compute in history.
• Qualifying and dual-sourcing across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.
• Making supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain.
• Keeping procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint.
• Building the most accurate supply chain prediction modeling that exists, using AI to forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with precision the industry has never had.

Responsibilities

• Own the steel category: structural steel and fabricated assemblies feeding the modular manufacturing line and site builds.
• Source fabrication capacity across regional shops so throughput scales with the build plan, not with one shop's backlog.
• Negotiate raw material and fabrication pricing with mechanisms that survive commodity swings.
• Qualify fabricators on quality and capacity, and manage the load balancing across them weekly.

Requirements

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 sourced structural steel or fabricated steel assemblies at industrial volume.
• You understand fabrication economics: material, labor, coatings, and freight, and where each shop makes its margin.
• You've qualified fabrication shops and caught the capacity overstatements in their pitch.
• You manage commodity exposure with indexing or hedging rather than hoping.

• Bonus: AISC-certified fabrication networks. Modular construction. Weld quality programs. Logistics for oversize loads.
