Futura is partnering with a leading AI infrastructure innovator to hire a Facility Operations Lead supporting next-generation hyperscale AI data centers.
Locations:
Buffalo, NY or West Texas (multiple campuses)
Onsite 5 days (relocation assistance provided)
This is a critical infrastructure role with equity participation, focused exclusively on data center infrastructure, power, cooling, resiliency, and operational risk in high-density AI environments.
Why This Role Matters
AI workloads demand extreme infrastructure reliability.
You will serve as the onsite owner of infrastructure risk - ensuring power distribution, cooling systems, and redundancy strategies are engineered and executed without failure.
This is not a broad site management role.
This is infrastructure authority.
Key Responsibilities
- Own infrastructure risk assessment and mitigation
- Lead power and cooling capacity planning across live GPU environments
- Design and oversee redundancy strategies (2N / N+1 / N+2)
- Execute and control high-risk change management
- Oversee commissioning processes (L1–L5)
- Serve as escalation lead during infrastructure-related incidents
Qualifications
- 5+ years in hyperscale or mission-critical infrastructure environments
- Deep expertise in UPS systems, generators, chillers, cooling towers, AHUs, and electrical distribution
- Strong understanding of concurrent maintainability and redundancy modeling
- Proven ability to lead during high-severity infrastructure events
Hyperscale experience is highly valuable but not required. Mission-critical industrial infrastructure backgrounds are also accepted.
Comp & Perks
- $160K-$180K base salary + pre-IPO equity
- Healthcare and comprehensive benefits
- Retirement plan + generous PTO
- Growth into portfolio-level infrastructure leadership as sites scale
