Full Job Description
Own how fal runs its data centers. You'll lead data-center operations end to end, strategy, capacity, build-out, and steady-state, for the GPU fleet that powers every fal inference. You'll operate through our on-site lead and technicians while staying close to engineering and leadership, and help shape the compute organization as we scale.
**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**
- **Own the full DC operations lifecycle** - planning, design, build-out, deployment, and steady-state operations across our sites.
- **Set infrastructure operations strategy** - capacity, cost, reliability, and scale, with clear OKRs/KPIs, in lockstep with engineering, finance, and leadership.
- **Run operations through the on-site team** - direct our site lead and technicians, own incident and escalation management, and drive uptime and MTTR across sites.
- **Partner with Engineering, Network, and Capacity Planning** to execute infrastructure expansion while optimizing power, cooling, rack density, and deployment schedules.
- **Develop operational processes**, documentation, and vendor governance as fal continues to scale its global infrastructure footprint.
**WHAT YOU BRING**
- **10+ years in data center / infrastructure operations** including senior leadership (Director level) owning multi-site or global operations.
- **10MW+ facility experience** - you've owned operations for a large-scale, mission-critical data center.
- **Full-lifecycle experience** - planning and build-out through steady-state - ideally for high-density GPU / accelerator (AI inference) environments.
- **Strategic and cross-functional range** - you partner naturally with engineering, finance, and business leadership on capacity, cost, and scale.
- **Command of commercial / vendor relationships** and colocation / leased-space operations.
**BONUS POINTS**
- You've stood up new data-center capacity from the ground up.
- Experience operating high-density LPU/GPU or liquid-cooled environments.
- You've built and scaled DC operations teams and the pipeline that feeds them.
