- We are seeking a Critical Infrastructure Engineer to help ensure the availability, resilience, and operational readiness of the critical systems supporting data center IT infrastructure.
- The primary objective of this role is uptime .
- You will provide technical oversight across the electrical and mechanical infrastructure responsible for delivering reliable power and cooling to our GPU and IT environments. Rather than serving primarily as a maintenance technician, you will verify that critical infrastructure is operated safely, consistently, and in accordance with established SLAs, engineering standards, change-control procedures, and operational best practices.
- You will also act as an important bridge between IT infrastructure teams and electrical/mechanical specialists. The ideal candidate understands how servers, networking equipment, racks, and GPU systems operate inside a data center while also having enough exposure to critical facilities systems to understand—and challenge when necessary—the infrastructure supporting them.
- The position combines technical analysis, provider governance, change management, incident response, and hands-on familiarity with data center IT environments.
- You will work onsite in our Minnesota data center location.
