If you're passionate about tackling one of the most critical challenges of our time, now is the time to join us. Together, we can usher in a new era of American energy abundance by developing the hardware, software, and deployment operations that make it possible. Our Values : We're building a winning culture, and we're looking for people who are up for the challenge. These are the values we expect you to embrace from day one:

•

In-Person Work: We work full-time in the office. There is no hybrid or remote work.

•

Challenge Assumptions: We're not here to do things the way they've always been done. We look for people who question the status quo and improve broken systems. We are guided by principles, not rules.

•

Operate with Urgency: Speed matters. We focus on what's essential, make fast progress, and iterate quickly. Execution drives learning, and learning drives impact. Always have a bias for action.

•

Give & Seek Feedback: We value intellectual honesty. We expect you to challenge ideas (even your own), give direct feedback, and receive it with humility.

•

Deliver: We are high achievers with a drive to win. We take end-to-end accountability for seeing our work through and delivering on our responsibilities.

•

Think Like an Owner: We are all owners of the business. We use our time and resources wisely and take personal responsibility for our impact on the bottom line.

•

Be Opinionated: Great people make decisions with imperfect information. Eliminate murky ownership and drive towards decisions.

•

Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5 job. We are building something hard, and that requires real commitment.
