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!How We OperateExtreme 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 Security & Corp IT TeamThe Security & Corp IT team protects the people, systems, and infrastructure behind the largest AI compute buildout in history.Examples of key problems the team is working on:Build detection and response coverage across cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), endpoint, and identity telemetry for a company whose attack surface spans corporate IT and gigawatt-scale data center infrastructure.Run incident response end to end, from first alert through containment, remediation, and postmortem, without a large SOC to fall back on.Stand up detection-as-code pipelines so every detection is versioned, tested, and deployed like software rather than hand-edited in a console.Harden corp IT foundations (identity, device management, access) so security scales with headcount instead of lagging it.Role ScopeBuild the detection engineering function from the ground up: telemetry pipelines, detection content, alert routing, and response runbooks, with coverage you can defend against a threat model, not just a tool checklist.Own detection-as-code end to end, writing detections across cloud and endpoint sources with tests, version control, and CI so a bad rule never ships silently.Lead incident response for high-severity events, driving containment and root cause, and closing out each incident with detections that catch the same class of attack next time.Drive automation of triage and enrichment in Python (or similar) so alert volume scales without proportional headcount.Partner...
