About the position

At Soluna, we are using computing to accelerate a future where renewable energy is the primary source of energy in the world. Our company is driven by three fundamental beliefs: the world needs more renewable energy, stranded renewable energy is one of the biggest unsolved problems for the economics of renewable energy, and sustainable computing will play an integral role in solving this problem. We build small-footprint data centers to buy and use all of the wasted energy from renewable power plants, allowing them to earn profits and tax credits for every megawatt they produce. Our specialized data centers run computing-intensive applications powered by clean energy for various sectors including cryptocurrency mining, artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, scientific computing, natural language processing, and video transcoding. Our mission is to help power plant owners get more megawatts to the grid, ensuring they can sell every megawatt while helping data scientists solve pressing problems without harming the planet.
