TAR’s mission is to power intelligence for the world. We are building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers powered by renewable technologies.
We firmly believe AI should be built in the US for the benefit of all people. For that, power must be fast, clean and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering GW-scale power faster than anyone has ever done, by rethinking every layer of the stack.
To deliver on this vision, TAR manufactures, deploys and operates off-grid energy assets with a renewable backbone. We vertically integrate to solve every bottleneck, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on-site construction.
Leave your mark by powering the future of civilisation-scale energy infrastructure.
We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
CompanyWe are a team of seasoned operators run by founders who previously scaled a company to over 80 people and $350M in annual sales. We know how to operate and we move fast.
We are working directly with one of the largest compute providers to make our vision come true and plan to deploy 5GWs by 2028.
TAR is both a hardware and software company, we are building out massive, critical, physical infrastructure.
We operate on…
High ownership. High Agency. Own project end-to-end. Great people don’t need to be managed.
Speed. We achieve great things on incredible timelines. We always push ourselves to go faster.
First principles. No ego. No hierarchy. Challenge every assumption.
Passion. Solving the energy problem is one of the largest challenges that faces the world now and in the future. We put in long hours and hard work to solve this.
This is the internship version of our Founder’s Associate role, based full-time in our San Francisco or Austin office. You take on real, ambiguous, low-structure problems from day one: running point on a special project, helping organize a deployment test, keeping the office running, and removing friction for the engineering team. It is hands-on, high-agency work with direct exposure to the founders and the technical team. Strong interns are a primary pipeline for full-time Founder’s Associate offers.
ResponsibilitiesOwn scoped special projects end-to-end, from brief to delivered result.
Support the effectiveness of engineering and technical leadership by handling logistics and removing blockers.
Help run daily operations of the San Francisco office.
Help organize and coordinate deployment and infrastructure tests with the SF team.
Pitch in wherever the team needs leverage.
Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree, or taking time out of one, with some internship or work experience in a demanding environment.
Very high agency and comfort with unclear, low-structure tasks.
Strong organization, judgment, and a bias for action.
Available to work full-time and in person at the office for the internship period.
Prior exposure to a startup, hardware, or deep-tech environment.
Evidence of owning something real end-to-end (a project, a club, a small company, a build).
