Hammerhead AI helps AI infrastructure operators run more workloads within existing power limits by using reinforcement learning agents to orchestrate power, cooling, and compute. Its ORCA agentic control platform applies RL in real time to coordinate server scheduling, power distribution, and cooling systems, integrating with data center control stacks and cluster schedulers. Delivered as a B2B SaaS, ORCA enables data centers, cloud providers, and AI factory operators to monetize stranded megawatts and increase usable capacity by up to 30% without changing SLAs. The platform targets power-constrained hyperscalers, cloud providers, and colocation facilities looking to lower per-token compute costs and accelerate AI deployment.

Learn More About Hammerhead
Role Description As the Head of Reinforcement Learning & AI, you will lead the scientific and engineering vision for the "brain" of Hammerhead—ORCA (Orchestrated RL Control Agents). Reporting directly to the CTO, you will build and manage a world-class team of researchers and engineers to develop the autonomous agents that control gigawatt-scale critical infrastructure in real-time. Your mandate is to maximize token generation from fixed power assets by solving complex multi-objective optimization problems that balance thermal limits, power availability, and computational throughput.
This is a high-stakes leadership role where your algorithms will directly dictate the physical operation of multi-million dollar data centers.
