Technical Program Manager, Design & Engineering

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. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

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.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

• 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.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Lead the design, development, and execution of 50GW+ of data centers this decade.

• Drive the next generation of liquid cooling and electrical distribution systems.

• Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers.

• Influence behind-the-meter designs and planning for multi-GW campuses.

• Own end-to-end project management of concurrent data center design and solution-delivery programs from initiation through construction-ready handoff.

• Build and maintain integrated master schedules across architectural, structural, MEP, civil, technology, and specialty design disciplines.

• Establish program governance: milestone gates, design review cadences, change control, and decision logs that create accountability without overhead.

• Own the template and standard program, build the playbooks, and create the systems that let engineers focus on engineering.

• Identify risks, interdependencies, and blockers ahead of time so nothing is unforeseen.

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 run technical program management for complex design or construction programs, ideally data center or large capital projects.

• You build integrated master schedules across many design disciplines and hold them.

• You establish program governance (gates, change control, decision logs) that adds accountability, not bureaucracy.

• You build playbooks, templates, and systems that let technical teams move faster.

• You see risks and dependencies before they bite and drive them to resolution.

• Bonus: Data center or mission-critical design programs. PMP or PgMP. Primavera P6 or MS Project. Owner-side design and engineering PM.

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).

• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
  

The salary range for this position is $150,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
