Principal Core Infrastructure Engineer

The Data Center SWAT Technical Program Manager is a senior individual contributor responsible for protecting execution of critical data center deployments by anticipating and resolving risks before they affect delivery. This role leads high-priority, site-based response efforts, aligning Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Validation, and Data Center teams around clear mitigation plans, ownership, and timelines. The position is program-management focused, with accountability for cross-functional execution and delivery outcomes rather than hands-on LV technician work.

This role proactively mitigates schedule, validation, supply chain, and operational risks by identifying issues 6–8 weeks in advance and driving mitigation plans before they impact deployment delivery. It provides dedicated program-management leadership for critical, high-risk sites, rapidly removing blockers and maintaining execution momentum during builds and deployments. The role coordinates cross-functional teams to accelerate issue resolution and reduce delays caused by dependencies, unclear ownership, or competing priorities. Without this role, critical deployments face increased risk of late issue discovery, longer site-level escalations, avoidable schedule slips, and reduced predictability in delivery commitments.

Certain U.S. based or U.S. customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization/occupational health mandates, and/or drug testing requirements.
