Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking an on-site Network and Cabling Specialist to own and operate the data center infrastructure. You will diagnose physical-layer faults, manage structured cabling and fiber, and act as the sole on-site escalation resource for the site’s AI workloads.

You will collaborate with Network Operations, document issues precisely, and push for rapid, reliable resolution while upholding high availability. Experience with high-density fabrics or certifications is a plus.

Qualifications

• You've been the on-site network or cable-plant specialist in a data center, owning physical-layer troubleshooting end to end.
• You know structured cabling and fiber deeply (testing, termination, fault isolation) and you read device diagnostics well enough to validate repairs.
• You have enough network fundamentals (TCP/IP, switching, optics) to bridge cabling and the network stack.
• You operate as the sole escalation resource on-site and take incidents through to resolution.
• You document rigorously, so Network Operations can pick up cleanly when an issue exceeds on-site scope.
• Bonus: High-density AI or hyperscale fabrics. Fiber certification (BICSI, Fluke). Optical transport. InfiniBand or high-speed Ethernet.

Responsibilities

• Operate as the on-site Tier 3 escalation point for network and structured-cabling incidents across the site's AI infrastructure.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve physical-layer faults, validate repairs, and drive rapid resolution of issues hitting customer workloads.
• Act as the escalation path for Tier 1 and 2 technicians, and partner with Network Operations on deeper investigations.
• Own structured cabling and fiber infrastructure, and interpret device-level diagnostics well enough to confirm a physical repair restored connectivity.
• Escalate out-of-scope issues to Network Operations with clear documentation, and take ownership through resolution as the sole on-site network and ICT resource.
