Development Engineer, Facility Software Automation

About this role

Fluidstack seeks a Development Engineer to own the infrastructure and automation platform for their rapidly scaling AI compute data centers. You'll design and operate the containerized telemetry stack, CI/CD pipelines, and observability systems that enable gigawatt-scale facility automation and deployment at unprecedented speed.

What you'll do

• Design and manage cluster architecture, deployment configuration, and operational reliability for the Facility Software Automation platform
• Own containerization workflows and CI/CD pipelines for telemetry services, enabling fast and safe production deployments without manual intervention
• Build and maintain the observability layer including Prometheus monitoring, alerting, and dashboards to catch telemetry issues early
• Establish infrastructure-as-code standards to ensure all environment changes are version-controlled, reviewed, and auditable
• Partner directly with engineers to move new telemetry services from development to production-ready deployment
• Ensure telemetry data integrity and pipeline health as the foundation for facility automation decisions

What they're looking for

• Kubernetes or container orchestration platform experience
• Docker and containerization technologies
• CI/CD pipeline design and implementation
• Prometheus monitoring and observability tooling
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, or equivalent)
• Production systems debugging and troubleshooting
• Data pipeline and telemetry platform reliability
• Python or Go for infrastructure automation

Benefits

• Work on civilization-scale AI infrastructure problems
• Extreme ownership with end-to-end autonomy over key systems
• High-velocity environment with first-principles thinking culture
• Opportunity to shape production standards and best practices
• Austin, TX location

Likely interview questions

• Tell us about a time you owned container-based infrastructure in production—what were the biggest failure modes you debugged and how did you solve them?
• Walk us through a CI/CD pipeline you built from scratch. How did you earn engineering teams' trust to deploy without manual oversight?
