> Lead physical infrastructure deployment teams turning finished data halls into racked, cabled, and validated GPU-serving compute at hundreds of megawatts per site. Requires proven experience leading large contractor workforces, hitting aggressive rack-and-cable schedules, and building deployment tracking tooling.

## Job Description

## Role Scope
Lead infrastructure deployment across sites: the teams and process that turn finished data halls into racked, cabled, validated infrastructure.
Own the deployment schedule per hall: hundreds of racks and hundreds of thousands of terminations landed in weeks.
Build the contractor workforce model that scales deployment crews site to site without quality drift.
Drive deployment tooling: QA gates, tracking, and validation running on software, not spreadsheets.

## Responsibilities
- Lead the teams and processes that turn finished data halls into racked, cabled, validated infrastructure at data center scale.
- Own the deployment schedule per hall, delivering hundreds of racks and hundreds of thousands of terminations in weeks.
- Build and scale the contractor workforce model across multiple sites while maintaining quality.
- Drive development of deployment tooling including QA gates, tracking systems, and validation (software-based, not spreadsheets).
- Stand up gigawatts of compute per year, with data halls going from construction handover to serving GPUs in weeks across multiple sites.
- Deploy 10GW+ with software and tooling to improve efficiency at scale rather than increasing headcount.

## Requirements
- Led physical infrastructure deployment at data center scale.
- Run contractor workforces of dozens to hundreds through hard quality gates.
- Hit rack-and-cable schedules others called impossible.
- Built or specified deployment tracking tooling.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Hyperscale deployment experience.
- Fiber-heavy builds.
- Low-voltage contractor markets.
- Deployment automation.
