General Counsel

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 General Counsel, you own the legal function end to end. You personally draft and negotiate the EPC agreements that get campuses built, the OEM supply and service agreements behind our owner-direct procurement, and the power and data center agreements that produce revenue. You decide what stays in-house and what goes to outside counsel, and you build the templates and contract systems a GW-scale pipeline requires. This is a hands-on drafting seat with the ability to build the team around you, working directly with the founders and the supply chain, project, and finance leads.

• Serve as lead drafter and negotiator of TAR’s EPC contracts, our largest and most frequently recurring agreement type, with multiple negotiations expected over the next several years.

• Draft limited notices to proceed that let contractors mobilize ahead of final contract execution, and design/build agreements for data center facilities TAR builds and owns.

• Negotiate equipment purchase orders, OEM master service agreements, and long-term service agreements directly with Tier-1 OEMs under TAR’s owner-direct procurement model.

• Create standardized MSA and SOW templates usable across vendors, and negotiate individual agreements working from either vendor paper or TAR paper.

• Negotiate PPAs, energy offtake agreements, and customer contracts, including data center sale agreements, to close the revenue side of each campus.

• Manage outside counsel with a clear allocation between in-house drafting and external work, and co-own the contract management system with the Head of Supply Chain.

• Draft letters of intent and MOUs with counterparties, and handle land leases, easements, and other site-control instruments as the campus pipeline grows.

• Own the long tail of legal work as it arises: project financing and project M&A documentation, contractor disputes and insurance claims, patent filings for our racking and robotics IP, and positions on clean energy tax and trade policy.

• Significant transactional legal experience, typically 10+ years, across a leading law firm and in-house roles in energy, infrastructure, or construction.

• JD and active membership in at least one US state bar.

• Deep drafting and negotiation track record with EPC or construction contracts for utility-scale energy or large infrastructure projects.

• Experience negotiating equipment supply agreements, MSAs and SOWs, and long-term service agreements with major OEMs or contractors.

• Working knowledge of PPAs, offtake structures, and project finance documentation.

• Judgment to run a lean legal function: you draft fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and know what to keep in-house versus send to outside counsel.

• Experience as general counsel or first legal hire at a developer, IPP, or infrastructure startup.

• Data center transaction experience such as sales, leases, or capacity agreements.

• Land and real estate work: leases, purchase options, and easements for utility-scale sites.

• Familiarity with clean energy tax credit rules (domestic content, FEOC) and trade policy such as AD/CVD.

• Patent or IP strategy exposure at a hardware or robotics company.

• Up to $15K relocation bonus

• Unlimited PTO

• Health, Dental, Vision insurance

• $1K monthly stipend for meals
