The AI & Optimization Lead — Bitcoin Mining Operations will play a crucial role in defining and executing the AI vision for MOS (Mining Operating System) and MDK (Mining Development Kit) — the core FOSS platforms powering Tether’s Bitcoin-mining operations worldwide.
This role is responsible for designing the data foundation and AI models that drive real-world operational efficiency across mining sites, with a focus on performance optimization, predictive insights, and intelligent automation. You will work closely with engineering, data, and operations teams to define a structured data baseline, ensure high-quality data modelling, and develop AI-driven solutions that are fully integrated into MOS/MDK.
Your mission is simple and ambitious:
turn data into intelligence — and intelligence into site-level efficiency.
A strong background in data architecture, modelling, ML/AI systems, and mathematical optimization is essential. Prior exposure to Bitcoin mining or industrial/IoT environments is highly valuable, but not mandatory.
