Software Engineer Team Lead

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.

Role Scope

• Lead a team of engineers building the internal software the buildout runs on, staying hands-on in the code while owning delivery.- Run the operating rhythm of a small, high-velocity team: priorities set, blockers cleared, and working software shipped weekly.- Own the growth and performance of your engineers, and hire to keep pace as the tool surface expands with the company.- Partner with product and the operating teams, manufacturing, delivery, operations, to decide what gets built next and what gets killed.

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 led a small engineering team that shipped fast, and the engineers you managed would work for you again.- You still write and review production code, and your technical judgment holds up in an architecture debate.- You've built internal tools or operational software where adoption, not launch, was the bar.- You make priority calls quickly with imperfect information and own the outcome.- You've hired engineers yourself: sourced them, closed them, and ramped them.

Bonus: AI-native development workflows. Go, TypeScript, or Python in production. Manufacturing, logistics, or infrastructure domains. Experience at a company that builds physical things.

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.
