Full Job Description
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.
The Data Center Operations Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries.
  • Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
  • Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.
Role Scope
  • Run end-to-end logistics for a gigawatt-scale data center campus: inbound freight, receiving, laydown yards, warehousing, inventory control, and delivery of equipment to the crews installing it.
  • Stand up logistics operations at new sites from day one, with dock schedules, laydown plans, and material flow in place before the first major equipment shipment lands.
  • Coordinate owner-furnished equipment deliveries across general contractors, trade partners, and freight carriers, and resequence on the spot when a truck, crane, or crew doesn't show.
  • Implement material tracking that keeps physical counts and system counts matched across thousands of line items, so installation crews never wait on something already on site.
  • Hire and lead the site logistics team as the fleet grows, and write the playbook every subsequent site runs on.
What We're Looking For
  • 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 personally run site logistics on major construction or industrial programs: receiving, laydown, warehousing, and staging at the scale of truckloads per day.
  • You've coordinated deliveries across GCs, trade partners, and carriers, and you've resequenced a day's plan in minutes when the schedule broke.
  • You've implemented inventory or material tracking systems and kept them honest, with physical counts matching system counts through high-volume receiving.
  • You've handled oversized, high-value, or long-lead equipment (transformers, switchgear, chillers, generators) from carrier to final set.
  • You've hired, trained, and led warehouse or field logistics crews and held them to a safety and accuracy bar.
  • You've been the single source of truth on site for where material is, and installation crews planned around it.
  • Bonus: Data center or mission-critical construction logistics. Heavy-haul and rigging coordination. Customs and international freight. WMS or ERP-driven material management. Standing up laydown yards and warehouses from a greenfield.
