Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Gimlet is building a multi-silicon neocloud designed for fast, efficient AI inference across heterogeneous hardware. The Data Center Facilities Operations Lead will own the facilities operating model for data centers and high-density AI infrastructure, including liquid cooling systems, monitoring, maintenance, vendor coordination, incident response, and operational readiness.
Responsibilities
- Build the facilities operations model for current and future Gimlet sites, including operating standards, escalation paths, maintenance routines, acceptance criteria, and facility readiness gates
- Translate OEM and engineering requirements for liquid-cooled platforms into practical site operating envelopes for temperature, flow, pressure, water quality, alarms, and heat rejection
- Own monitoring and response for facility-side telemetry, including supply and return water temperatures, delta-T, flow, pressure, leak detection, CDU status, cooling capacity margins, and BMS/DCIM alarms
- Partner with colocation providers, facility vendors, OEMs, Site Managers, Data Center Technicians, Deployment Leads, and TPMs to ensure facilities are ready before new compute capacity is deployed
- Create and maintain MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, maintenance windows, runbooks, inspection routines, and incident response procedures for critical facilities and liquid cooling operations
- Coordinate preventive maintenance, repairs, and vendor response for CDUs, facility water loops, filters, valves, pumps, sensors, leak detection systems, chillers, dry coolers, CRAHs, and related infrastructure
- Lead facility-side root cause analysis for thermal, leak, power, cooling, monitoring, and environmental events, then drive durable corrective actions
- Build reporting that shows facility health, risk, readiness, capacity margin, recurring issues, open repairs, and operational trends across Gimlet sites
Skills
- • You have experience in data center facilities operations, critical facilities engineering, MEP operations, commissioning, facilities maintenance, or high-density infrastructure operations
- • You understand liquid cooling operations, facility water systems, CDUs, heat rejection, supply and return temperature management, flow, pressure, filtration, leak detection, and water quality controls
- • You have operated or supported BMS, DCIM, EPMS, CDU monitoring, alarm response, trend analysis, and facilities telemetry in production environments
- • You can write and run MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, maintenance plans, incident procedures, and vendor repair workflows with strong operational discipline
- • You communicate clearly with site teams, network teams, deployment TPMs, engineering, colocation providers, OEMs, and facilities vendors
- • You are comfortable working in active data center environments and supporting urgent facilities escalations when they arise
- • Experience supporting GPU clusters, GB200/GB300-class platforms, NVL rack-scale systems, HPC environments, AI infrastructure, or other high-density liquid-cooled compute deployments
- • Experience with data center commissioning, integrated systems testing, site acceptance testing, facility turnover, or deployment readiness reviews
- • Familiarity with power distribution, UPS/generator coordination, chilled water systems, dry coolers, CRAH/CRAC systems, CDUs, rear-door heat exchangers, and liquid cooling safety practices
- • Experience managing colocation provider obligations, service levels, maintenance windows, vendor escalations, and facilities contract deliverables
- • A track record of improving facility reliability through monitoring, preventive maintenance, incident analysis, documentation, training, and operational controls
Benefits
- Significant ownership over your work
- Partner directly with a small group of highly capable people
- Help shape not just what we build, but how we scale the company
