📋 Description

• Serve as the most senior technical authority for the operational hardware fleet across our hyperscale AI data center portfolio. • Ensure that the GPU systems, servers, and supporting hardware we deploy at scale are operated, maintained, and continuously improved. • Lead site assessments and operational audits. • Drive the technical readiness of teams ahead of site activation. • Review hardware platforms and integration designs from an operational lens. • Feed operational learnings back into the hardware engineering, deployment, and supply chain organizations as we shift toward a productized, repeatable build model.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on experience operating mission-critical hardware infrastructure, with at least 5 years as the senior technical voice on a site, campus, or fleet. • Data center operations experience strongly preferred; hyperscale, large HPC, cloud, or other mission-critical compute infrastructure experience considered. • Deep working command of GPU systems, server platforms, storage infrastructure, firmware lifecycle management, and hardware diagnostics — earned in the field, not from a textbook. • Demonstrated ability to author, approve, and execute high-risk MOPs and change records in live production environments. • A track record of leading root cause analysis on significant hardware events and driving corrective actions to closure. • A track record of holding OEMs, ODMs, service vendors, and deployment partners accountable — you know how to enforce a standard without burning the relationship. • Strong written communication: operational health assessments, RCAs, procedure reviews, and design review feedback are second nature. • Comfort operating as the senior technical voice across operations, hardware engineering, network, facilities, supply chain, and customer-facing teams. • Willingness to travel extensively across the fleet. 50-75%.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity). • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. • Health, dental, and vision insurance. • Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
