Compute Deployment Engineer

About the role

The Infrastructure Team at Fluidstack is responsible for bringing gigawatts of accelerators from first power-on to production, qualifying racks at scale, driving qualification through the base-management Kubernetes platform and provisioning stack, and running turn-up remotely. This role involves automating hardware workflows, triaging failures, and supporting incident response on freshly-live capacity.

Responsibilities

• Own compute turn-up from facility availability to ready-for-service
• Qualify racks at scale: establish firmware baselines, configure BMC and BIOS, run burn-in, and validate at node and cluster level
• Drive qualification through the base-management Kubernetes platform and provisioning stack (discovery, imaging, firmware updates, shared services)
• Burn down qual queues with tooling rather than manual runs
• Triage hardware failures found in qualification: isolate to component, drive RMA and vendor escalation, and feed failure patterns back into the qual gates
• Partner with network deployment, ICT, data center operations, and hardware teams during turn-up windows, and support incident response on freshly-live capacity

Requirements

• You've brought up server or GPU fleets at scale, hundreds of nodes or more, and taken them all the way to production
• You work deep in Linux and out-of-band management: BMC, IPMI, and Redfish are daily tools for you, not occasional lookups
• You've automated hardware workflows in Python or Go rather than clicking through them, and the second time you do anything by hand you turn it into software
• You've worked physically in data halls, racking, cabling, and swapping components, and you're just as effective acting as remote hands or directing them
• You triage failures methodically across hardware, firmware, and software, isolating the fault to a component before reaching for a fix
• You travel for turn-up windows when a new data hall comes online

Qualifications

• Bonus: Kubernetes-based bare-metal provisioning
• Accelerator platform bringup (NVIDIA, AMD, or custom)
• Burn-in and stress harness design
• DCIM and inventory tooling

Skills

• Linux and out-of-band management expertise (BMC, IPMI, Redfish)
• Automation of hardware workflows in Python or Go
• Experience working in data halls, racking, and cabling
• Methodical failure triage and isolation skills
• Ability to travel for turn-up windows
