> Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of a large-scale facilities telemetry platform for AI data centers, ingesting sensor data from industrial protocols into queryable time-series systems while setting data standards and leading a small team.

## Job Description

## Role Scope
Lead the facilities telemetry platform: the pipeline taking every sensor, meter, and controller across the fleet into one queryable system.
Own the architecture: ingestion, time-series storage, and APIs that operations, ML, and controls teams build on.
Set the data standards: naming, units, and quality enforced at the edge so gigawatts of telemetry stay usable.
Lead a small team while carrying the hardest technical pieces yourself.

## What We're Looking For
- Built or led time-series or telemetry platforms at industrial or fleet scale.
- Designed ingestion that survived messy field protocols: BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA.
- Set data standards that stuck across teams and sites.
- Platforms have SLAs and the operational maturity to hit them.
- Lead from the front of the codebase.

**Bonus**
- Timescale, Influx, or ClickHouse.
- Edge computing.
- BMS and SCADA integration.
- Kafka or streaming systems.
