Why join Giga
  • The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
  • The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
  • The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
  • The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
What you'll do

Strategy & Operations at Giga is not a support function — it's the connective tissue that makes everything run faster and smarter. As a Strategy & Operations Associate, you'll work directly alongside senior leadership to identify where the business is moving, where it's breaking, and what to do about it. One week you might be building the operating model for a new energy market; the next, you're in the field stress-testing how we're executing against a major deployment timeline.

This role is for someone who gets things done. Not someone who creates decks about getting things done — someone who closes the loop, tracks the details, and drives initiatives from whiteboard to reality. If you thrive at the intersection of analytical rigor and operational execution, and want to build something that physically powers the AI revolution, this is the role.

Where you'll work

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

Who we hire

We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
