Sourcing Manager, Steel

About the Role

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.

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.

How We Operate

We operate with extreme ownership, full autonomy, and a focus on velocity. We challenge every assumption, and the best idea wins. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

The Supply Chain Team

The Supply Chain Team is working on key problems such as supplying tens of gigawatts of compute, qualifying and dual-sourcing critical equipment, and building accurate supply chain prediction models.

• Supply tens of gigawatts of compute, the largest build out of compute in history.
• Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.
• Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone.
• Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists.

Role Scope

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.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who has sourced structural steel or fabricated steel assemblies at industrial volume, understands fabrication economics, and has qualified fabrication shops.

• 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 experience includes AISC-certified fabrication networks, modular construction, weld quality programs, and logistics for oversize loads.
