About the Company
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. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.
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.
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 unprecedented precision.
Responsibilities
- Execute purchasing across assigned categories: POs cut same-day, confirmations chased, and deliveries landed on schedule.
- Own the order book: statuses current, exceptions escalated, and no silent slips.
- Work vendor issues to ground: shortages, substitutions, and expedites, with the schedule impact quantified.
- Keep the data clean in the ERP so planning and finance run on truth.
Requirements
- You've been a buyer in a fast-moving supply chain and carried a heavy PO load without drops.
- You chase confirmations like the schedule depends on it, because it does.
- You've expedited critical parts through constrained suppliers.
- Your ERP hygiene is a habit: right dates, right prices, right quantities.
- You escalate with the facts assembled and a recommendation attached.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with NetSuite or Zip.
- Background in data center, construction, or electronics categories.
- Freight basics.
- Excel and SQL fluency.
