About GMI Computing

GMI Computing is a semiconductor-backed mining venture securing the Bitcoin blockchain. Our mission is to become a vertical industry leader in digital asset infrastructure.

The Engagement

We are seeking an established independent contractor or vendor to provide on-site facility support and hardware maintenance for our Bitcoin mining site in Arkansas. As an independent business, you will determine the best methods to execute the required services and maintain site safety, focusing on maximizing uptime and hash rate.

Scope of Services

Site Monitoring & Reporting: Utilize Foreman (or similar management software) to identify thermal anomalies, offline sections, and network/PDU issues. Conduct regular visual and auditory inspections of the facility. Provide regular status reports to GMI on site metrics, work completed, and preventive maintenance needs.

Hardware Maintenance: Troubleshoot, repair, and replace ASIC miners and related electrical/network equipment to meet agreed-upon uptime targets.

Vendor & Coordination Logistics: Serve as the on-site liaison for landlords, utilities (including power curtailment coordination), and external vendors. Obtain quotes, manage local deliveries, and coordinate external maintenance work.

Compliance & Inventory: Support on-site regulatory inspections (e.g., OSHA) alongside GMI representatives. Maintain organized site paperwork and manage spare parts inventory.

Vendor Qualifications

Operating as an established sole proprietor offering maintenance or IT services.

Demonstrated hands-on experience in IT hardware, data centers, or commercial/industrial maintenance (ASIC repair is highly preferred).

Ability to independently manage tasks, utilize ticketing systems (Asana), and communicate professionally with external stakeholders.

Must provide own hand tools and reliable transportation.

Contract Terms & Logistics

Classification: 1099 Contractor engagement. No employee benefits, tax withholdings, or worker’s compensation are provided.

Billing: Services are invoiced according to the negotiated contract terms. Emergency or after-hours requests are optional and billed at your agreed-upon standard/premium rates.

Insurance: Proof of general liability insurance is required prior to engagement.

Pay: From $16.50 per hour
