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 Development TeamExamples of key problems the team is working on- Find enough land to deploy multiple gigawatts a week. By 2030 we need to bring on multiple gigawatts of new capacity every week, which means securing sites at a pace and scale no one in the industry has operated at. You'll own finding and locking that land ahead of the build.
- Get power online in months, not years. Most of the clock runs before the lease is ever signed. You'll optimize the pre-signature work, site diligence, permitting, and development, so a site goes from signed lease to live power in under six months.
- Acquire 10s to 100s of GWs behind the meter. Reaching that scale means generating on-site instead of waiting on grid interconnection. You'll secure the land and behind-the-meter solar generation to get there.
Role Scope- Lead the identification, evaluation, and securing of powered land for the US data center portfolio, sourcing large industrial and raw parcels capable of hyperscale campuses.
- Source and assess sites, often 100+ acres, near fiber and high-voltage transmission, evaluating utility and behind-the-meter power at 200MW+ scale.
- Coordinate directly with utilities to secure substation capacity, transmission access, and power agreements, including powered-land structures where energy is committed before construction.
- Lead entitlements due diligence across zoning, rezoning, land-use permitting, environmental reviews, and water agreements, and track permitting timelines against the build schedule.
- Lead commercial negotiations for purchase agreements, land options, and long-term leases, and maintain broker and developer relationships so a valid site is never missed.
- Engage local, state, and municipal officials to secure development agreements, incentives, and community support, and own capacity forecasting across regions.
