Firmus Technologies

Firmus Technologies is a global leader pioneering the development and operation of efficient AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific.

Founded in Australia in 2019, our mission is to create the most efficient AI infrastructure by combining cutting‑edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

At Firmus, we are unique in our approach. We design, build, and operate a new class of digital infrastructure – the AI Factory. Through our model‑to‑grid technology approach, we have pushed the boundaries of multi‑generational liquid cooling systems, energy management, AI software
orchestration, and construction. For our customers, this approach allows us to make every watt count and deliver low‑cost AI tokens globally.

Firmus AI Cloud

Our large‑scale GPU cloud platform, Firmus AI Cloud, is purpose‑built to deliver energy‑efficient AI compute at scale to customers.

It empowers developers, enterprises, educational institutions, and government users to train and deploy AI models with unmatched efficiency and cost savings. With an ever‑growing suite of services and applications, we are committed to delivering a cloud experience that is market‑leading,
proprietary, and built to scale.

As an NVIDIA Cloud and Engineering partner in Asia Pacific, you will gain skills, experience,and exposure across the AI industry and be part of shaping what this industry looks like for decades to come.

We are founder‑led, not a big corporate. Decisions happen fast, our leaders are accessible, and there's minimum bureaucracy between you and the work.

Ownership comes early. Whatever your role, you will have a direct line to outcomes, helping shape how the business grows as we scale nationally across a long‑term, large‑scale roadmap.

Work alongside founders and experts in AI infrastructure, energy systems and next‑generation compute.

What we build here has impact beyond the business. Our AI Factories are designed to operate as assets to the energy grid to actively strengthen the communities and regions they operate in
rather than drawing from them.

Considering applying? You don’t need a perfect background to join our team. If you're driven and curious, there's a path for you. We back our people to grow into new domains and take on challenges beyond their previous experience.
