Powered Land Acquisition

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 weve ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who dont share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

Were 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

• 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. Youll 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. Youll 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 10GW behind the meter. Reaching 10GW means generating on-site instead of waiting on grid interconnection. Youll secure the land and behind-the-meter solar generation to get there.

• 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.

• Youve acquired commercial or industrial real estate selected sites or developed energy infrastructure with a focus on data centers or large-scale industrial.

• You understand data center infrastructure requirements high-voltage power zoning permitting and land-use regulation deeply.

• Youve closed complex high-stakes land transactions at scale and you think in market trends and long-term land banking.

• You manage relationships across brokers landowners developers utilities and government and align diverse stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.

• Youll travel 20% as projects require.

• Bonus: Powered-land structures. Substation and transmission procurement. Economic incentives and development agreements. Land banking strategy.
