Data Center Infrastructure Engineer

Description

We are seeking a Data Center Infrastructure Engineer to support the planning, expansion, modernization, and resiliency of mission-critical data center facilities.

This role is focused on the physical infrastructure of the data center, including electrical, mechanical, power, and cooling systems. The ideal candidate will have direct experience helping determine how data center infrastructure is designed, implemented, expanded, commissioned, and optimized.

This is not a data center operations role.

We are specifically seeking engineers who have contributed to infrastructure development and engineering decisions rather than primarily operating or maintaining infrastructure after deployment.
