## Description

Fluidstack, a leading cloud provider, is looking for a Platform Engineer to build the foundational platforms that enable our global infrastructure and data center operations. Youll develop comprehensive internal tooling across multiple domains-CMDB, asset management, DCIM, monitoring and observability, security, and operational automation-that streamline how we deploy, manage, and operate infrastructure at scale. Working cross-functionally with engineering, operations, data center teams, and product, youll deliver scalable, reliable, user-friendly solutions that directly impact our ability to grow and deliver world-class infrastructure services.

Focus

Infrastructure Platform Development

 * Design and build our next-generation CMDB system as the authoritative source of truth for infrastructure assets, network topology, and configuration data
 * Create DCIM platforms for rack operations, server/GPU deployment, OS installation, quality assurance, and white-screen operations
 * Develop end-to-end asset lifecycle management systems covering receiving, racking, inventory, break-fix, and decommissioning workflows
 * Build monitoring and observability platforms integrating telemetry from BMS, EPMS, and IT devices with intelligent alarming and incident management
 * Create self-service portals and automation for new region bootstrap, day-2 operations, and fleet-scale management

Operational Excellence & Automation

 * Eliminate manual toil through workflow automation and self-service tooling that empower operations and engineering teams
 * Build workflow orchestration systems for complex multi-step processes spanning incident, problem, and change management
 * Develop digital twin visualizations and operational dashboards surfacing actionable insights; partner with data teams on analytics
 * Create integration layers connecting internal platforms with external vendors and third-party systems

Cross-Functional Partnership

 * Collaborate with data center operations, system engineering, network engineering, and security teams to understand requirements and deliver high-impact solutions
 * Work with product and business stakeholders to prioritize features, define roadmaps, and balance competing needs
 * Align with support and operations teams to ensure platforms scale with organizational growth

Technical Leadership

 * Evaluate build vs. buy decisions for platform components, weighing in-house development against commercial SaaS and open-source solutions for scalability, cost, and flexibility
 * Champion modern development practices including CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, automated testing, and observability-first design
 * Participate in architecture reviews and design discussions, contributing to technical direction and standards
 * Foster technical excellence through code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing

Scalability & Reliability

 * Design high-performance, fault-tolerant systems capable of handling thousands of QPS as our infrastructure footprint expands
 * Build comprehensive monitoring, logging, and debugging capabilities with robust error handling
 * Implement data migration strategies and manage upstream/downstream dependencies carefully during platform evolution
 * Own projects end-to-end from concept through deployment, ensuring production readiness and operational excellence
