General Athlete — Master of None

WashingtonOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

A generalist role at an offshore floating data center company, filling cross-functional gaps in engineering, operations, and project execution; driving ambiguous problems to resolution with hands-on technical and operational work, including some time at sea.

About this role

Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers. We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge. If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before — keep reading.

We're not putting servers on a barge. We're engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power, recovers its own waste heat, stays on station in severe weather, and runs autonomously. This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries.

You're a Master of None, but don't worry, it’s a generalist’s world after all. If you read every other job description and thought "I could do half of each of those" — this might be your spot. We're looking for versatile, high-horsepower operators who can plug in wherever the hardest problem is on any given week. You might be writing a procurement spec on Monday, running a CFD sim on Wednesday, and on a call with a customer on Friday.

Responsibilities:

  • Fill gaps across engineering, operations, and project execution as the company's needs evolve

  • Pick up unfamiliar problems quickly and drive them to resolution without waiting to be told how

  • Contribute to design reviews, testing, vendor coordination, and anything else that needs doing

  • Bring a skill or perspective the rest of the team doesn't have yet

Qualifications:

  • Engineering degree and a track record of doing a wide range of things well

  • Demonstrated ability to learn fast, work independently, and operate in chaos

  • You've been the person who figured it out when nobody else knew how

This role is based in Washington, D.C. and will include some time at sea. We offer generous relocation assistance for candidates across the US. We pay our employees competitive salaries based on level of experience and offer meaningful equity in a fast growing company. Apply below, or reach out at jobs@drogue.com with questions.
