The posting

About Giga

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

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

As a Buyer, you will own subcontract packages for Giga data center projects from request to award. Reporting to the Procurement Manager, you will issue requests for proposal, level the bids, recommend the award, prepare the work order and manage the vendor through the job. You will work directly with subcontractors, and partner with Engineering and Construction to make scopes complete before they go out to bid. Legal owns the legal terms. You own the commercial outcome: scope, price, schedule and payment milestones.

Our procurement platform is AI-native. AI agents built on Claude and our Google Sheets and Drive data spine draft, log, compare and check. You will spend your time with vendors and project teams, and you will use the tools to move faster.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role for a buyer who can run several live packages at once on more than one project.

Where you'll work

This role is remote. We prefer candidates based in Texas and will consider candidates anywhere in the US. Expect about 20% travel to project sites and team onsites.

Responsibilities

Sourcing and Bidding

  • Own subcontract packages from request to award: civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection and specialty trades.
  • Build each request for proposal with Engineering and Construction, and check the scope, drawings and specifications for gaps before issue.
  • Build the bidder list, issue the package, run the pre-bid meeting and manage bidder questions and addenda through one bids mailbox.
  • Level bids on a common basis and write the award recommendation: price, schedule, qualifications and risk.
  • Follow the competitive bidding and approval policy. Aim for three qualified bidders on each package.

Award and Work Orders

  • Prepare the work order for each award from our standard form under the master services agreement.
  • Negotiate commercial terms with the vendor: scope, price, schedule and payment milestones.
  • Prepare the package for Legal review and signature, and track it to execution.
  • Hand each executed award to the Procurement Analyst for budget coding and schedule of values set-up.
  • Evaluate vendor change order requests for scope and price with Construction and Project Controls.

Vendor Management

  • Build a qualified vendor pool for each commodity and region, ahead of each new project.
  • Qualify vendors: NDA, master services agreement, insurance, bonding and safety.
  • Run the post-award kickoff with each vendor, and track performance through the job.
  • Keep vendor records current in our vendor database.

Scale With the Business

  • Stand up subcontract procurement for new sites as Giga adds projects.
  • Improve our templates, playbooks and tools as the portfolio grows.

Requirements

  • 3 or more years of construction procurement or subcontract buying, running competitive bids for trade packages from request for proposal to award.
  • Ability to read drawings, specifications and scopes of work, and to find gaps or conflicts before award.
  • Experience leveling bids and writing award recommendations.
  • Working knowledge of subcontracts, work orders, change orders, certificates of insurance, bonds and retention.
  • Strong vendor relationships and a habit of following up without being asked.
  • Bias to action. You keep packages moving on an aggressive schedule.

Bonus points

  • Owner-side construction procurement on large capital programs, such as gigafactories, data center campuses, semiconductor fabs or energy projects.
  • Experience with data center, substation, MEP or mission-critical construction.
  • A Texas and Oklahoma subcontractor network.
  • Hands-on use of AI tools in your daily work.
  • Experience with NetSuite or another ERP, and with Autodesk Construction Cloud.

How We Work

We value people who take ownership, raise risks early, communicate directly, and follow through. Incomplete information is part of the job. Make the best decision you can, document it, and adjust as the facts change. Move quickly on reversible decisions and take more care when security, safety, financial, employee, or customer risk is involved.

Benefits

  • Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Parental leave
  • Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Commuter benefits, where applicable
  • Opportunities to collaborate in person at periodic team and company on-sites

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
