Development Engineer, Facility Software Automation
About The Position
Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI, aiming to deliver 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else. The Facility Software Automation Team is crucial in this mission, focusing on building automations that compress the time between a facility coming online and compute being available to customers. This involves detecting, deciding, and acting on infrastructure signals to ensure reliability and trust. The team's platform must scale rapidly to match Fluidstack's business growth, which delivers gigawatts of compute in six months, a fraction of the industry standard. The role involves owning the infrastructure, containerization workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and the observability layer for the Facility Software Automation platform, ensuring its reliability and scalability.
Requirements
- Owned container-based infrastructure in production: designed the architecture, debugged the failure modes that only appear under load, and carried the pager for it.
- Treat telemetry pipeline health and data integrity as non-negotiable, since the automation that delivers compute to customers depends entirely on the reliability of the data flowing underneath it, and build and operate accordingly.
- Hands-on experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, or equivalent) and used them to build deployment workflows that engineering teams depend on without thinking about it.
- Built CI/CD pipelines that engineers actually trust, where a merged PR reaches production safely without anyone watching over it, and understand modern development workflows well enough to build them from scratch.
- Drive infrastructure-as-code as a functioning discipline: every environment change is version-controlled, reviewed, and auditable, and hold the platform to that standard.
- Built observability stacks from scratch (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and know the difference between a dashboard that looks good and one that actually catches problems before they become incidents.
- Worked in environments where reliability matters because real operational decisions depend on the data flowing correctly, not just internal tooling.
Nice To Haves
- GitOps deployment tooling (ArgoCD, Flux, or equivalent).
- NATS and ClickHouse operational experience, tuning, capacity planning, failure recovery.
- Compute or critical infrastructure telemetry environments.
- Experience deploying and operating services at scale across distributed sites.
Responsibilities
- Own the infrastructure underpinning the Facility Software Automation platform: cluster architecture, deployment configuration, and the operational reliability of every service in the stack.
- Own and manage containerization workflows and CI/CD pipelines for telemetry services, making deployments from commit to live in production fast, safe, and repeatable without manual intervention.
- Own the observability layer, Prometheus, alerting, and dashboards, that gives the platform team and Fluidstack operations the signal to catch problems in telemetry pipelines before they hit downstream teams.
- Drive infrastructure-as-code standards across the platform so every environment change is version-controlled, reviewed, and auditable at the pace of a team shipping continuously.
- Work directly with engineers to take new telemetry services from first commit to production-ready deployment, setting the bar for what production-ready means on this platform.
Benefits
- Offers equity in the form of stock options.
- Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
