Bitcoin mining and hyperscale data center infrastructure builder
Riot Platforms operates large-scale Bitcoin mining facilities across Texas and Kentucky while building vertically integrated data center infrastructure. The engineering and ops hiring mix—split roughly 1:1 between the two—reflects a capital-intensive, operationally complex business: the project list centers on electrical systems, firmware, transformer monitoring, and miner installation, while pain points cluster around uptime guarantees, energy procurement compliance, and SOX audit readiness. The stack mixes industrial controls (ABB, Siemens, PLC, SCADA, Variable Frequency Drives) with traditional enterprise software (NetSuite, Procore, Microsoft 365), signaling a hybrid challenge of managing physical infrastructure at scale.
