Design Manager

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from 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.
• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Lead the design, development, and execution of 10s to 100s of GWs 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.

Role Scope

• 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.
