Off-grid power plants for AI data centers
TAR’s mission is to power intelligence for the world. We are building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers powered by renewable technologies.
We firmly believe AI should be built in the US for the benefit of all people. For that, power must be fast, clean and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering GW-scale power faster than anyone has ever done, by rethinking every layer of the stack.
We vertically integrate to solve every bottleneck, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on-site construction.
Leave your mark on the future of civilization-scale energy infrastructure.
TAR is both a hardware and software company, we are building out massive, critical, physical infrastructure. TAR is working directly with one of the largest compute providers to scale and deploy 5GWs by 2028.
We operate on…
High ownership. High Agency. Own project end-to-end. Great people don’t need to be managed.
Speed. We achieve great things on incredible timelines. We push ourselves to go faster.
First principles. No ego. No hierarchy. Challenge every assumption.
Passion. Solving the energy problem is one of the largest challenges that faces the world now and in the future.
As Procurement Specialist on our Supply Chain team in Austin, you are an instrumental part of the operational backbone of that machine: you build and modify POs, draft contracts from templates and work initial redlines, resolve invoicing and mismatch disputes with vendors, and help stand up the P2P and contract management systems the department will scale on. This is a hands-on role for someone with pre-existing supply chain experience, interested in owner-side procurement experience on a GW-scale buildout.
Execute direct procurement activities, building and modifying purchase orders for equipment, materials, and services so orders go out accurately and on schedule.
Draft contracts from approved templates and run initial review and redlining with vendors and internal owners to move agreements to signature quickly.
Resolve PO, invoicing, billing, and mismatch issues directly with vendors and internal teams, keeping payments accurate and supplier relationships clean.
Assist in implementation of new procurement systems, including P2P, contract management, and RFx tools, and help drive department adoption so the team runs on them efficiently.
Enter and maintain PO, contract, and vendor data in those systems.
Run regular reports on open contracts and POs, flagging deadlines and keeping the team on-target.
Revise, edit, and proofread procurement documents and redlines so contract packages leave the department error-free.
2+ years of supply chain experience, including buyer and/or procurement functions. Candidates with greater experience are strongly encouraged to apply, with an upgrade to Sr. Procurement Specialist available based on prior work history.
Hands-on experience building and modifying purchase orders.
Some familiarity with contracting, including document revision and redlining.
Comfort engaging vendors and internal stakeholders on invoicing, billing, mismatch, and other PO-related disputes.
Competency in both MS Office and Google Docs.
Strong written and oral communication, with careful editing and proofreading.
Strong organizational skills; you juggle many, often changing tasks without dropping threads.
Experience setting up or implementing RFx bids.
Experience participating in the implementation of new software tools for a department or converting from legacy systems.
Experience collaborating on larger category sourcing requirements.
Experience using AI tools in your day-to-day work.
Prior work on a high-tempo supply chain team.

TAR builds and operates behind-the-meter power plants for AI data centers that cannot wait out a utility interconnection queue. The company designs islanded microgrids pairing solar, battery storage, and gas peakers, then manufactures, installs, and runs them, handling power electronics, microgrid controls, dispatch software, and site construction in-house. Compared with grid interconnection, which can take years to clear, an off-grid plant can be sited and energized on the developer's own schedule, and TAR says it is working with a large compute provider and targets 5 GW by 2028. Its goal is to remove power as the constraint on AI buildout by owning generation end to end.
