Strong practical knowledge of structured cabling, optics, transceivers, breakout schemes, and rack-level physical validation. Experience reading and validating rack diagrams, patch plans, cable matrices, and topology documentation. Strong troubleshooting skill for L1 issues that manifest as network instability, missing hosts, degraded performance, or failed cluster readiness checks. Experience with asset tracking, labeling discipline, and deployment quality control. Ability to work across physical infrastructure, server hardware, and network operations teams without losing detail. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE Experience in GPU cluster deployment or AI factory buildouts. Familiarity with automated cable validation or DCIM-integrated deployment workflows. Working knowledge of host provisioning and network validation enough to accelerate multi-team turn-up. ## Description The Candidate will provide deployment services for HPC and AI cluster infrastructure with an emphasis on physical build quality, cable validation, rack integration, and cluster readiness. This role is for a senior hands-on operator who can turn physical deployment work into repeatable, auditable infrastructure quality. WHAT THIS CANDIDATE WILL BE DOING Execute and coordinate rack-level deployment of compute, network, and storage infrastructure for AI and HPC environments. Validate rack elevations, port maps, cable maps, power distribution, labeling, and physical connectivity before cluster handoff. Perform detailed cable validation across Ethernet, InfiniBand, management, and storage interconnects. Detect and resolve cabling defects including polarity issues, incorrect port destinations, unsupported optics pairings, breakout errors, damaged media, and inconsistent labeling. Support hardware bring-up by validating BIOS baselines, BMC reachability, inventory accuracy, and initial connectivity tests. Partner with network and Linux teams during cluster turn-up to quickly isolate physical-layer versus logical- layer failures. Create deployment checklists, as-built documentation, and signoff criteria for production acceptance. Drive structured remediation during expansion, re-cabling, or failed build events. ## Related Videos - [The Gashlycrumb Tinies of AI Networking You Must Know (or Languish!)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2067-the-gashlycrumb-tinies-of-ai-networking-you-must-know-or-languish) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [How to Submit CFPs and Get into Public Speaking - Moran Weber](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2112-how-to-submit-cfps-and-get-into-public-speaking-moran-weber) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Dev Digest 162: AI careers, MCP, AWS best practices & floppy sweaters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/571-dev-digest-162-ai-careers-mcp-aws-best-practices-floppy-sweaters) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event)
