Full Job Description
About Valar Atomics Valar Atomics is developing a fleet of advanced nuclear reactors at gigasites across the U. S. As we scale from one pod to many, the data and systems infrastructure that ties together schedule, cost, risk, and document control becomes the operational backbone of the company. The BI Systems Manager builds and runs that backbone. About the role The BI Systems Manager owns Valar's data and systems infrastructure for fleet scaling. Our explicit target candidate profile is ex-Palantir Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) — the combination of customer-facing engineering depth, data infrastructure fluency, and ambiguity-tolerant problem orientation is the right fit for this role. AI lab automation researchers are a comparable second pool. You will manage two BI Specialists (BIS1 and BIS2) once those seats are filled, and the hiring plan grows this role into Director of Data Platform as the team adds BIS3+ seats and pod count scales — we are explicitly hiring with director potential in mind.

Establish data contracts and schemas that survive the transition from one-pod to multi-pod operations. Set platform-level standards: data lineage, observability, access control, audit trail. Make build / buy / integrate calls across the tooling stack — Primavera, MSP, ERP, document control, custom sources.
