Vice President, Customer Engineering

Fleet Data Centers designs, builds and operates mega-scale data center campuses. Fleet provides its customers with flexibility and predictability to meet their upside demand forecasts, addressing a key need in the market as traditional leased models are struggling to keep pace with the demand for new Cloud and AI infrastructure. Fleet is led by a team of industry veterans that have already made a lasting imprint on the evolution of global digital infrastructure and are committed and uniquely capable of up leveling data center development scale and operations in the face of rising demand.

Fleet is well positioned to bring in-house design, engineering and operational capabilities to collaborate with customers on tailored solutions for campuses of 500MW+. This unique model enables Fleet to provide the world’s largest and most sophisticated customers with a seamless extension of their own data center fleets with constant access to design innovation. Fleet is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with satellite offices in Seattle, WA and Arlington, VA.

Fleet is seeking a Vice President of Customer Engineering to lead technical engagement with our most strategic customers. In this critical role, you will partner directly with hyperscalers and other large-scale customers to understand their evolving datacenter requirements and translate those needs into scalable, differentiated solutions across Fleet’s platform.

You will serve as the tip of the spear in both commercial and technical engagements—operating at the intersection of customer, engineering, and executive leadership. This role requires the ability to engage credibly at the highest levels of customer organizations while driving alignment internally across development, engineering, and partner ecosystems.

Internally, you will define and shape product requirements across a broad and integrated scope that extends beyond the datacenter itself. This includes utility interconnection strategy, behind-the-meter generation, large-scale energy storage, and advanced cooling architectures. As the voice of the customer, your influence will directly inform Fleet’s product roadmap and establish baseline design and performance standards across our portfolio.

The ideal candidate is a recognized industry leader with a proven track record of deep technical impact within the hyperscale datacenter ecosystem. You bring a comprehensive understanding of power delivery, cooling systems, and infrastructure design required to support next-generation AI and traditional cloud workloads. You are equally comfortable discussing rack-level cooling parameters and system-level architecture as you are advising on campus-scale planning, geographic strategy, and deployment models.

This role is best suited for a technologist with exceptional breadth—spanning hardware, networking, datacenter systems, and core infrastructure disciplines such as power, cooling, and latency. You will be expected to engage fluently across topics ranging from CDU design and liquid cooling flow rates at the rack, to network performance considerations, to customer preferences around campus configuration and site selection.
