How to Apply for GM, Data Center Development

at Soluna

🏢 About Soluna

Soluna uniquely combines blockchain technology with renewable energy infrastructure, specifically targeting eco-friendly high-density computations. Unlike traditional data center companies, Soluna focuses on powering blockchain operations with low-cost renewable energy, positioning itself at the intersection of sustainable infrastructure and emerging technology. This makes it an attractive workplace for professionals passionate about both environmental sustainability and cutting-edge digital infrastructure.

About This Role

As GM of Data Center Development at Soluna, you'll lead the entire hyperscale data center business, from strategic planning through project delivery and commercialization. This role is impactful because you'll be responsible for developing large-scale (100MW+) renewable energy-powered data centers that support blockchain and AI workloads, directly advancing Soluna's mission of eco-friendly high-density computation. You'll own customer relationships with hyperscalers and AI companies while representing Soluna externally as part of the unified leadership team.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing progress on multiple large-scale data center development projects while strategizing with the leadership team about commercial opportunities with hyperscalers and AI companies. You might spend mornings analyzing power infrastructure plans and utility engagement strategies for new sites, then afternoons negotiating with potential customers or representing Soluna at industry events focused on sustainable digital infrastructure.
