What is an infrastructure job?

Infrastructure jobs involve designing, building, maintaining, and managing the foundational systems and services that support a society or organization. This can include physical structures like roads, bridges, utilities, and buildings, as well as digital infrastructure such as networks, servers, and cloud services. Professionals in this field ensure that essential facilities are reliable, efficient, and meet the needs of the community or business. These roles are critical for economic growth, public safety, and everyday operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in an infrastructure role?

To thrive in an Infrastructure role, you need strong knowledge of network architecture, systems administration, and IT infrastructure management, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools like VMware, AWS, Azure, and certifications such as CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, or Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate are typically required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for diagnosing issues and collaborating with technical teams. These skills ensure reliable, secure, and efficient IT environments that support business operations.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in infrastructure roles, and how can they prepare for them?

Professionals in infrastructure roles often encounter challenges such as maintaining system uptime, managing large-scale deployments, and ensuring security compliance. Responding quickly to outages or incidents is a key part of the job, requiring strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure. Collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, such as software development and security, is also essential. Staying up-to-date with emerging technologies and best practices can help infrastructure professionals proactively address these challenges and support organizational growth.

Job description

THE COMPANY:
STACK INFRASTRUCTURE (STACK) provides digital infrastructure to scale the world's most innovative companies. We are an award-winning industry leader in building, owning, and operating highly efficient, cost-effective wholesale, colocation, and cloud data centers. Each of our national facilities meets or exceeds the highest industry standards in all operational categories of availability, security, connectivity, and physical resilience.
STACK offers the scale and geographic reach that rapidly growing hyperscale and enterprise companies need. The world runs on data. Data runs on STACK.
THE POSITION:
STACK is looking for an Infrastructure Reliability Engineer with subject matter expertise in electrical systems who will act as a key member of STACK's Critical Operations team. This position will play a vital role in ensuring the ongoing performance, resiliency, and evolution of infrastructure systems across STACK's portfolio. This role requires deep technical fluency in data center power and cooling systems, a forensic mindset for failure analysis, and a proactive approach to risk reduction. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Lead deep-dive investigations and RCAs for electrical infrastructure failures, including UPS systems, switchgear, breakers, relays, generators, grounding systems, STS behavior, VFD interactions, controls, and power quality disturbances
  • Evaluate electrical system performance under abnormal, fault, or degraded conditions (e.g., grounding faults, harmonics, transient events, protective coordination, voltage distortion, transfer events) to identify systemic vulnerabilities
  • Engage OEMs and vendors to challenge technical assumptions and advocate for long-term improvements
  • Support the evolution of maintenance standards and asset strategy for high-risk or complex systems (e.g., power distribution, cooling)
  • Collaborate with Workforce Development to enhance technical training for site teams based on lessons from event investigations
  • Contribute to availability reporting, event response improvement, and risk trend monitoring to ensure SLA commitments are met
  • Inform and influence the design review and turnover process by identifying gaps in infrastructure handoffs, system limitations, or commissioning practices
  • Develop system-level failure mode mitigation strategies that improve uptime performance and reduce repeat incidents
  • Partner with Operations, Engineering and Construction to review electrical design assumptions, protective schemes, equipment compatibility, and commissioning practices to identify long-term reliability risks prior to or following operational events

THE DETAILS:
  • Location: Manassas or Sterling, VA, Portland, OR, Chicago (CHI), or Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)
  • Benefits: Healthcare, Dental Care, Vision Insurance, Life Insurance, Paid Time Off, Paid Leave Programs
  • Travel: 25% domestically
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States
  • Must pass a comprehensive background screening

MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS:
  • 5-8 years of experience in critical infrastructure environments (e.g., data centers, substations, power generation, or utility systems)
  • Strong technical fluency in mission-critical electrical systems, including power distribution architecture, UPS systems, generators, grounding methodologies, protective relays, switchgear, controls integration, and power quality analysis
  • Experience analyzing electrical failures through waveform data, event logs, relay coordination, commissioning findings, or forensic troubleshooting
  • Working knowledge of electrical system design intent versus operational field realities, including maintainability, equipment compatibility, and fault response
  • Hands-on experience with root cause analysis and reliability methodologies (e.g., FMEA, RCM)
  • Demonstrated ability to work across disciplines (Ops, Eng, Vendors, Construction) to resolve complex technical issues
  • Expertise with commissioning (Cx) and infrastructure design review processes
  • Ability to analyze performance data and translate findings into practical improvements
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience with high technical competency

THIS MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF:
  • You are a strong communicator, you are persuasive and clear, blending analytics with experience in decision-making.
  • You do not get flustered easily. You can juggle multiple priorities while balancing urgent requests with shifting timelines and deliverables.
  • You are a team builder. You take the time to understand and develop the strengths of your resources while formulating long-term plans for the growth and success of the team.
  • You are naturally curious and driven toward continual improvement. While you celebrate your successes, you take time to review and analyze campaigns for future learning.

WHY STACK?
  • We offer a competitive compensation package with strong benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401K program, flexible spending accounts - even a cell phone subsidy.
  • We foster a culture of appreciation, including peer-to-peer recognition and rewards programs.
  • Fun is part of our DNA, with events, game nights, happy hours, and barbecues.
  • We're growing - this is a great time to join and make an impact!
