Production Engineer, Compute Team Lead

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

• Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to 10s to 100s of GWs.
• Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
• Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.

Role Scope

• Lead the compute production engineering team keeping tens of thousands of GPUs serving customers.
• Own fleet availability for compute: define the SLOs, build the tooling, and move the number.
• Build automation for the node lifecycle, provisioning, health checks, remediation, return to service, without human touch.
• Set the on-call and escalation model that keeps response sharp without burning the team out.

What We're Looking for
