Supply Chain Buyer
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 prioritize the best idea, with no egos or analogy thinking. We're driven by a love of the game and a desire to push the frontier of AI 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 modeling. The team's goal is to make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone.
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
- Experience as a buyer in a fast-moving supply chain with a heavy PO load.
- Ability to chase confirmations and expedite critical parts through constrained suppliers.
- Strong ERP hygiene habits: right dates, right prices, right quantities.
- Ability to escalate issues with facts assembled and a recommendation attached.
Qualifications
Bonus qualifications include experience with NetSuite or Zip, data center, construction, or electronics categories, freight basics, and Excel and SQL fluency.
