Connectivity Engineer

U.S. Remote Full Time **About Fluidstack** ==================== 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 acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them \- with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization\-scale infrastructure for AI. **We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!** **About the Role** ================== Connectivity Engineer is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in fiber optics, structured cabling, and data center physical infrastructure. The CE is responsible for the full lifecycle of physical installation projects, including coordinating LVC schedules, performing rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) checks on contractor work, and ensuring final installation adheres to all design standards, safety codes, and labeling policies. **Key Responsibilities** ------------------------ **1\.
