• Drive the next generation of liquid cooling and electrical distribution systems.
• Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers.
• Influence behind-the-meter designs and planning for multi-GW campuses.

Role Scope:

• Own the architectural workstream across a multi-site development portfolio from concept through permitting and construction completion.
• Develop and maintain the architectural basis of design, prototype drawing packages, and master specs for the campus portfolio.
• Lead masterplan and campus layout: building positioning, setbacks, service access, security zoning, and phasing across multi-building sites.
• Own building envelope design (cladding, roofing, curtain wall, louvers, penetration detailing) in compliance with FM Global requirements.
• Manage external architects and engineers of record from schematic through IFC, enforcing standards and tracking quality across concurrent projects.
• Lead permitting strategy across jurisdictions and ensure compliance with IBC, IFC, NFPA 75/76/855, state codes, and ADA.

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've managed external architects and engineers of record through full design life cycles across concurrent projects.
• You know IBC, IFC, occupancy classification, egress, and fire-rated assembly design well enough to be the authority with AHJs.
• You've authored owner-side design standards, prototype specs, or basis of design documents.
• You hold envelope and life-safety design to FM Global and code standards through field conditions and contractor-driven changes.
• Bonus:
  Licensed Architect. Hyperscale data center or large-scale industrial development. FM Global envelope and roofing submittal process. Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, Procore, ACC. LEED AP.
