Volta is building the infrastructure that powers the AI era. We're looking for exceptional people who want to work on the hardest problems in compute — and see their work matter at a scale very few companies ever reach.
There are a lot of AI companies right now. Most of them are building software on top of compute that someone else owns. Volta is building the compute itself.
Gigascale data centres across Europe and the US. Systems you design handle hundreds of thousands of GPUs. There is no sandbox. This is the real thing.
Backed by $20Bn in infrastructure capital, but early enough that the decisions you make now will define how Volta operates for a decade.
65 days from signing to a live data centre. Co-founder-led decisions, no committee layers, no approval chains that slow execution to a crawl.
CFO from Citigroup. Cloud VP from NVIDIA. Data centre lead from Meta and Oracle. Not advisors — your colleagues.
Making compute a utility — reliable, scalable, available to anyone who needs it. A mission that extends far beyond Volta's commercial interests.
Values at Volta are not a wall poster. They're the criteria we use when making hard decisions — about what to build, who to hire, and how to treat each other under pressure.
"The engineers who work here will spend their careers having built something that actually mattered — the infrastructure that the AI era ran on. That's a rare thing to be able to say."Volta Engineering Leadership
Speed is how we create advantage. We make decisions quickly and learn from what we build. Pace is not recklessness — every fast decision is grounded in clear thinking.
We are building infrastructure that needs to run for decades. We think in long arcs. We execute in short sprints.
Ownership at Volta is an attitude, not a job title. If something is important, someone takes full responsibility and drives it to completion.
We operate in a market full of big claims and thin substance. We care about technical credibility. Depth matters here.
Disagreements happen in the room, not after it. We trust each other enough to be honest, and we expect honesty in return.
Electricity became a utility. Compute should too. We build with that purpose in mind: infrastructure that extends access for anyone who wants to build with AI.
Most engineering jobs ask you to build on top of someone else's foundation. At Volta, you are the foundation. How do you schedule a hundred thousand GPUs without a single wasted FLOP? How do you build a networking fabric that moves petabytes between nodes with zero congestion?
"These aren't toy problems. They are engineering challenges at a scale that very few people in the world are working on."Volta Engineering Leadership
Own infrastructure at an order of magnitude most engineers never see. Compute orchestration, OS configuration, firmware management, and the networking fabric connecting hundreds of thousands of GPUs.
Build the control planes, APIs, schedulers, and orchestration systems that manage our GPU fleet. Systems where correctness and reliability are commercial obligations — not abstract goals.
Five-nines reliability is a contract, not a goal. Define the SLIs, build automation that self-heals at 3am, and design incident response frameworks for real infrastructure at scale.
Predictive capacity models, GPU utilisation optimisation, anomaly detection across thousands of nodes. Your dataset is the live operation of one of the world's largest GPU fleets.
Top-of-market base compensation benchmarked against the best infrastructure and AI companies globally.
Significant equity stake with four-year vesting and a one-year cliff. You're building this company — the upside should reflect that.
Comprehensive private medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family. No excess, no surprises.
London and Bay Area HQ with data centre operations across Europe and US. Travel budget for site visits included.
£3,000 / $4,000 annual budget for conferences, courses, books, and certifications — used however you see fit.
30 days annual leave plus public holidays. We mean it — we track that people actually use it.
Enhanced parental leave for all parents — primary and secondary caregivers — with phased return options.
Full home office setup budget and your choice of machine. If you need it to do the work well, we'll get it.
