Job description

Compensation: $175K - $275K+

Travel Requirement: International travel required to India 8+ times per year

Multiple Openings: We are hiring multiple people across data center infrastructure workstreams. Exact level, scope, and team placement may vary based on experience and business needs.

AI Foundry is an AI building and consulting business working with some of the largest companies in the world. AI Foundry is partnered with a major global company operating across finance, consumer, and retail verticals, leading their AI efforts from the ground up.

The team is seeking builders who want to be part of something massive: designing and building multi-agent AI systems that will reshape how hundreds of millions of people interact with financial services, retail, insurance, and consumer products.

AI Foundry is looking for Data Center Infrastructure Engineers to support the physical and operational foundation for large-scale AI compute. This role sits at the intersection of facilities, power, cooling, racks, vendors, hardware deployment, and infrastructure operations.

If you know how to make data center infrastructure real on the ground and want to support AI compute at massive scale, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do
  • Support data center infrastructure planning and execution across power, cooling, racks, cabling, deployment, and operations.
  • Coordinate with facilities teams, vendors, engineering, and operations to keep infrastructure work moving.
  • Track requirements, dependencies, schedules, equipment, site readiness, and operational risks.
  • Help plan and execute hardware deployments, rack layouts, cabling standards, power distribution, and cooling requirements.
  • Identify blockers in physical infrastructure delivery and escalate them with clear options.
  • Create documentation, checklists, status updates, and operating processes for distributed teams.
  • Partner with AI infrastructure engineers to align physical infrastructure with GPU workload needs.
  • Maintain a high bar for safety, reliability, and operational clarity.
  • Travel to India 8+ times per year to work directly with data center and infrastructure teams.
Who You Are
  • You have experience with data center infrastructure, facilities, hardware deployment, technical operations, or infrastructure project execution.
  • You understand the importance of power, cooling, rack density, cabling, site readiness, and vendor coordination.
  • You are highly organized and can track many dependencies without losing the critical path.
  • You communicate clearly with technical teams, vendors, facilities teams, and leadership.
  • You are practical and action-oriented when details are incomplete.
  • You can create useful documentation and operating processes.
  • You are comfortable working across time zones and with teams on the ground.
  • You care about reliability, safety, and execution quality.
  • You are energized by building infrastructure from the ground up.
How We Work

We are looking for people who use AI to raise the speed, quality, and ambition of the work while staying grounded in customers, teammates, and measurable outcomes.

  • We are hands-on with AI and technical tools, and we make ideas tangible through prototypes, clear artifacts, and working systems.
  • We move quickly, share work early, and keep refining until the product experience feels useful, polished, and memorable.
  • We focus on the hardest problems and the outcomes that matter, with the judgment to change course when the evidence points somewhere better.
  • We communicate clearly enough that teammates, leaders, and AI-assisted workflows can act on our thinking across time zones.
  • We collaborate with openness and respect, build on other people's ideas, and treat shared ownership as part of doing excellent work.
  • We speak up directly and constructively when something looks wrong, then commit fully once a decision is made.
