Data Center Technician

Soluna is on a mission to solve one of renewable energy’s biggest challenges: wasted power. Our data centers convert excess solar, hydro, and wind energy into productive computational work, such as Bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. By co-locating with renewable power sources, we bring demand directly to the source, helping power plants increase revenue while contributing more megawatts to the grid.

We are growing fast and we need people like you who want to be part of something big.

We need entrepreneurs at heart.

We are a people-first, data-driven organization that is seeking individuals who want to do meaningful work.
