Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers. We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge. If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before — keep reading.
We're not putting servers on a barge. We're engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power, recovers its own waste heat, stays on station in severe weather, and runs autonomously. This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries.
You're a Master of None, but don't worry, it’s a generalist’s world after all. If you read everything above and thought "I could do half of each of those", this might be your spot. We're looking for versatile, high-horsepower operators who can plug in wherever the hardest problem is on any given week. You might be writing a procurement spec on Monday, running a CFD sim on Wednesday, and on a call with a customer on Friday.
Responsibilities:
Fill gaps across engineering, operations, and project execution as the company's needs evolve
Pick up unfamiliar problems quickly and drive them to resolution without waiting to be told how
Contribute to design reviews, testing, vendor coordination, and anything else that needs doing
Bring a skill or perspective the rest of the team doesn't have yet
Qualifications:
Engineering degree and a track record of doing a wide range of things well
Demonstrated ability to learn fast, work independently, and operate in chaos
You've been the person who figured it out when nobody else knew how
This role is based in Washington, D.C. and will include some time at sea. We offer generous relocation assistance for candidates across the US. We pay our employees competitive salaries based on level of experience and offer meaningful equity in a fast growing company. Apply below, or reach out at [email protected] with questions.
Skills Required
- Engineering degree
- Track record of performing a wide range of engineering and operational tasks
- Ability to learn fast, work independently, and operate in ambiguous, chaotic environments
- Proven problem-solver who has figured things out when others could not
- Willingness to be based in Washington, D.C.
- Willingness to spend time at sea as part of the role
What We Do
Drogue is developing the world’s first offshore floating data centers and a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure. Its systems are designed to generate their own power, recover waste heat, withstand severe weather, and operate autonomously. The company aims to industrialize the ocean and scale AI inference by rethinking how electricity is generated and used, starting with data centers and other energy-intensive computing workloads.
