Talent Acquisition Manager

Talent Acquisition Manager Location: Mountain View, CA About Rune: Every solar and wind power plant is a latent data center. Rune connects wasted power to the compute that needs it. Solar plants generate electricity the grid can't take: clipped by inverters, curtailed by operators, gone before it ever reaches a meter. Meanwhile, AI needs more power than new construction can deliver in time. Rune deploys hardware, software, and financial solutions to put this power to work.
