About Giga
Giga builds the electrical infrastructure that powers the modern world. We manufacture transformers, switchboards, and modular data centers for customers across the United States and the globe. Together, our team combines fresh perspectives with deep industry experience to solve real-world problems for our customers. We move fast and think practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.
Giga was founded by two Texas A&M grads who started welding modular data centers in East Texas in 2019. Frustrated by the broken infrastructure industry—forced to choose between speed, quality, or fair pricing—they built something different: the only vertically integrated energy infrastructure company that controls site development, manufacturing, and power markets under one roof.
The results: 140 employees across 5 global offices. We've delivered 3.5 GW of equipment (1,000+ transformers, 200+ switchboards, 735+ data centers) and have 400+ MW in our pipeline.
We're disrupting a $100B+ market, and our exit strategy is crystal clear: Maximum Valuation and an IPO. Join us to help ring the bell on Wall Street.
What You'll DoWe're profitable, revenue-fueled, and scaling fast—154 MW operating today, 250+ MW next year, and targeting an IPO in our future. As Corporate Counsel, you'll be the engine behind our commercial contracts and deal execution, ensuring we move fast without breaking things.
This is a hands-on, high-volume role. You'll own the full lifecycle of our commercial agreements—from customer contracts and vendor agreements to power purchase agreements and real estate deals. You'll work directly with Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain to structure deals that protect us while enabling the speed that differentiates Giga. When litigation arises, you'll manage outside counsel and develop strategy to resolve disputes efficiently.
You'll report to the CEO and play a key role in building out our legal function as we scale toward IPO. If you thrive on deal flow, want to touch every part of a vertically integrated business, and know how to balance speed with smart risk management, this is your opportunity.
Where You'll WorkRemote. Regular travel to our operational sites and global offices for offsites and meetings.
