Description
Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world’s most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.
We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Principal Data Operations builds and operates the systems that move Hut 8’s business and operational data from source systems into reliable, secure, analytics-ready data products. This includes source integrations, API and SFTP ingestion, ETL (Airflow) orchestration, data transformation, warehousing, cloud infrastructure configuration, monitoring, data quality, and production support. This is an individual-contributor role. Principal Data Operations candidates will deliver work within established patterns and grow their ownership of production systems. Senior candidates will lead complex technical initiatives, improve standards, and provide technical guidance through design and code review.
