Mariana MineralsProject Maintenance Technician
Moab, UT · Full-time
Why join Mariana Minerals?
This could be huge if the minerals behind energy, AI and defense hardware get produced on software timelines, and Mariana Minerals, a Houston mining company, is betting it can. A $310M Series B led by BHP Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, bigger than 97% of Series B rounds this half, gives it the capital to try. With 47 new roles in 30 days, 38 of them in engineering, the build is only getting started.
