Connectivity Engineer, Deployment

About the role

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

How We Operate

We operate with extreme ownership, full autonomy, and a focus on velocity. We challenge every assumption and prioritize the best idea, with no egos or analogy thinking. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward, driven by a love of the game.

The Infrastructure Team

The Infrastructure Team is working on key problems such as compressing the install time for hundreds of thousands of fiber terminations, making quality a gate rather than a hope, and scaling an LVC workforce faster than the market produces it.

Examples of key problems the team is working on include:

• Compressing the install time for hundreds of thousands of fiber terminations per building in weeks, across multiple concurrent gigawatt builds.
• Making quality a gate, not a hope, by testing every link and proving every loss budget before the first GPU powers on.
• Scaling an LVC workforce faster than the market produces it, by building playbooks, QA gates, and field standards that take a contractor crew from onboarding to first-pass-yield quality in days.

Role Scope

The role involves owning the full lifecycle of physical installation projects, including coordinating LVC schedules, running QA/QC on contractor work, and ensuring installs meet design standards, safety codes, and labeling policy.

Responsibilities include:

• Serving as the primary on-site technical point of contact for the Low Voltage Contractor and internal engineering teams, and acting as remote hands during deployment and validation.
• Managing the LVC deployment schedule to milestones, coordinating access, material delivery, and staging with facility operations, and reporting progress and delays.
• Running multi-stage QA inspections on rack placement, racking, cable routing, grounding, and labeling against the BoM and design documentation.
• Conducting or overseeing optical loss testing (OLTS), OTDR analysis, and insertion/return loss on all fiber links, and verifying copper (Cat6a/Cat8) integrity with certified testers.
• Acting as the SME for fiber and structured cabling best practices (BICSI), generating final test reports, as-builts, and RCAs, and owning closeout and handoff to operations.

What We're Looking For

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

Requirements include:

• Hands-on deployment experience on mission-critical sites.
• Advanced fiber testing (OTDR, VFL, power meter) and installation techniques and design standards knowledge.
• Experience racking, stacking, and cabling servers, network, and storage hardware at scale.
• Ability to read and translate technical drawings and schematics (AutoCAD, Visio), and drive projects to completion through ambiguity.
• Willingness to travel 50% for onsite turn-ups, wherever the work is.

Bonus qualifications include BICSI RCDD or vendor certifications (Cisco, Juniper), hyperscale standardization programs, and ITIL.

Benefits

We offer a competitive total compensation package (salary + equity), retirement or pension plan, health, dental, and vision insurance, and a generous PTO policy.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.

Pay

The compensation range for this role is $182K - $219K.
