Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

About the Company

At ZutaCore, we’re changing the rules of how data centers handle heat in the age of AI.

Powered by our patented two-phase ZutaCore® HyperCool® technology, we tackle one of the biggest challenges in modern computing, heat.

As compute power explodes, traditional cooling simply can’t keep up. That’s where we come in. Our waterless, direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology removes heat from the silicon and away from the server. Enabling data centers to run faster, denser, and far more efficiently.

We work at the intersection of AI infrastructure, sustainability, and deep engineering, helping some of the most advanced data centers in the world push beyond today’s limits.

We’re a growing global team driven by curiosity, ownership, and a builder mindset, people who like solving real problems, working hands-on, and making an impact where it matters.
