Connectivity Engineer, Deployment

Full Job Description

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Infrastructure Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Compress the install. Land and certify hundreds of thousands of fiber terminations per building in weeks, across multiple concurrent gigawatt builds.

• Make quality a gate, not a hope. At AI scale, one dirty connector is a flapping link is a stalled training run. Every link tested, every loss budget proven, before the first GPU powers on.

• Scale an LVC workforce faster than the market produces it. Build the playbooks, QA gates, and field standards that take a contractor crew from onboarding to first-pass-yield quality in days, and hold them to a hyperscale bar at speed.

Role Scope

• Own the full lifecycle of physical installation projects: coordinate LVC schedules, run QA/QC on contractor work, and ensure installs meet design standards, safety codes, and labeling policy.

• Serve as the primary on-site technical point of contact for the Low Voltage Contractor and internal engineering teams, and act as remote hands during deployment and validation.

• Manage the LVC deployment schedule to milestones, coordinate access, material delivery, and staging with facility operations, and report progress and delays.

• Run multi-stage QA inspections on rack placement, racking, cable routing, grounding, and labeling against the BoM and design documentation.

• Conduct or oversee optical loss testing (OLTS), OTDR analysis, and insertion/return loss on all fiber links, and verify copper (Cat6a/Cat8) integrity with certified testers.

• Act as the SME for fiber and structured cabling best practices (BICSI), generate final test reports, as-builts, and RCAs, and own closeout and handoff to operations.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You're an SME in fiber optics, structured cabling, and data center physical infrastructure, with hands-on deployment on mission-critical sites.

• You run advanced fiber testing (OTDR, VFL, power meter) and know installation techniques and design standards cold.

• You've racked, stacked, and cabled servers, network, and storage hardware at scale.

• You read and translate technical drawings and schematics (AutoCAD, Visio), and drive projects to completion through ambiguity.

• You'll travel 50% for onsite turn-ups, wherever the work is.

• Bonus: BICSI RCDD or vendor certifications (Cisco, Juniper). Hyperscale standardization programs. ITIL.

Salary & 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.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
