About Simple Mining

Simple Mining turns power into Bitcoin and compute.

We help investors, entrepreneurs and institutions use energy-backed infrastructure without having to build, operate or maintain it themselves.

For investors, we make Bitcoin mining simple, reliable and transparent through turnkey miner sales, hosting, monitoring, repairs and fleet management.

For institutions, we develop energy infrastructure for Bitcoin mining and AI/HPC compute.

Now we’re bringing that expertise to AI. Our data center platform is developing turnkey, power-ready facilities for neocloud and AI infrastructure customers who need large-scale capacity quickly. Every site starts with power, the hardest thing to secure in this market, and we’ve spent years learning how to get it.

Simple Mining was ranked #175 on the Inc. 5000 and named the fastest-growing company in Iowa. Today we operate 10 data centers and host more than 40,000 miners across sites powered by a 65%+ renewable energy mix.

What you'll own

The capital strategy. Design the capital stack for each data center: construction and project debt, equity, joint ventures and LP structures.

The raise, end to end. Build the model, the story and the materials; run the process with banks, private credit, infrastructure funds and strategic investors; negotiate terms; close.

The relationships. Be the person lenders and investors call. Grow a network that makes every future raise faster and cheaper.

Deal economics. Work with our BD team on lease structures with neocloud and AI customers so every project is financeable.

The finance organization. Oversee accounting and reporting across Simple Mining and the data center business, working with our Head of Finance. Get us ready for institutional capital.

Equity and valuation. Partner on our employee equity plan and the valuation story as the data center business moves into its own parent company.

Your first 90 days

You’ll get to know the founders, the sites and the numbers. You’ll meet the capital relationships already in motion, put a financing plan and timeline in front of leadership, and drive the first raise forward. By day 90, the board should see a clear path to funding our first data center.

Who you are

You have personally led capital raises for capital-intensive infrastructure (data centers, power, utilities, energy or digital infrastructure) and closed them.

You have a network of lenders, investors and LPs who will take your call.

You've likely been a Director or Managing Director in investment banking, an infrastructure investor, or a finance leader at a developer. A prior CFO seat is a plus, not a requirement.

You're fluent in project finance, debt structuring and investor materials, and you can explain a capital stack to anyone.

Bachelor's in finance, economics or accounting required; MBA, CFA or CPA a plus.

Why you'll want to be here

Ownership. Founding CFO of a data center platform. Your decisions will shape the company.

A real foundation. An operating business with revenue, sites and a team that knows how to build in the physical world.

Speed. A small, numbers-driven leadership team. No committees. Ideas get decided in days, not quarters.

Upside. A meaningful equity stake, designed with an independent compensation firm, alongside competitive incentives.

The moment. AI demand for compute is outrunning the supply of powered, ready-to-lease space. You'd be building the infrastructure behind it.

Compensation and benefits

Competitive base salary, annual bonus and equity. Full-time employees also get:

• Medical (UnitedHealthcare, including an HSA-eligible plan), dental (Delta Dental) and vision (VSP)
• 401(k) with a 3% company contribution, with traditional and Roth options
• Bitcoin bonus: 1% of annual gross earnings paid in Bitcoin
• Company-paid life and AD&D, long-term disability and an Employee Assistance Program
