Who We Are
Bold. Unapologetic. Hardworking. We are building something special. We
transform energy into high-value compute with superior efficiency at scale.
Today, that means powering and securing the Bitcoin Network. Tomorrow, that
could also include powering workloads in AI, HPC and other forms of high-value
compute.
Core Scientific is one of the largest bitcoin miners and bitcoin mining hosts
in North America. Our mission is to accelerate digital innovation by scaling
high-value compute rapidly, efficiently and responsibly. Our proprietary
software stack optimizes bitcoin mining, pushes firmware, and monitors all
aspects of our operations, ensuring we and our customers generate the highest
possible ROI on our hardware investment.
But what makes us different from others in our industry? We own and manage our
own infrastructure. That puts us in control of our operations and gives us an
advantage that translates into higher productivity and efficiency. It also
gives us the ability to deploy rapidly the innovations developed by our deep
tech team.
Come join us as we continue our journey and accelerate yours. We seek smart,
creative, collaborative minds, who work hard and fast.
