Datacenter Liquid Cooling Architect in New York

Role Overview You’re a seasoned Site Reliability Engineer who loves owning complex infrastructure, making things run faster, safer, and with less manual effort. In this Staff‑level role, you’ll design and operate VMware‑based private cloud platforms that power mission‑critical SaaS products used by customers around the world. You’ll work across Linux, Windows Server, networking, storage, and automation frameworks to increase reliability, reduce toil, and modernize a global datacenter environment. You’ll have the scope to set technical direction, build automation at scale, and mentor engineers while staying hands‑on with VMware vSphere, F5/AVI load balancers, and hybrid Active Directory. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Lead the architecture, deployment, and ongoing optimization of VMware vSphere–based private cloud infrastructure across multiple global datacenters. Design and build automation using PowerShell/PowerCLI, Ansible, Python, and CI/CD tools to streamline provisioning, configuration, and compliance. Administer, harden, and troubleshoot Linux (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu) and Windows Server environments that host enterprise and SaaS workloads. Integrate and manage Active Directory for authentication, access control, and service accounts across hybrid on‑prem and cloud environments. Partner with network and security teams to manage firewalls, VPNs, storage, and load balancers (F5 BIG‑IP, AVI/NSX Advanced Load Balancer) for highly available services. Document architectures and runbooks, participate in on‑call and change management, and mentor engineers while influencing long‑term reliability and automation strategy. These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview 10+ years of experience in systems or infrastructure engineering, including operating large‑scale enterprise or SaaS datacenter environments. Deep hands‑on expertise with VMware vSphere (ESXi, vCenter, DRS, HA, vMotion, distributed switches) in production

About Us: AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal. Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now. Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale. We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role: We're hiring a Compute Strategy and Operations lead to own how Modal plans for and acquires GPU and CPU capacity. You'll size our infrastructure needs ahead of demand, source supply across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and datacenter operators, and negotiate and close the contracts to secure it. The compute you secure directly determines what Modal can sell and build. In this role, you will: Own end-to-end procurement of GPU and CPU capacity across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and datacenter operators Build and maintain a strong pipeline of supplier relationships Evaluate supply options on price, availability, hardware specs, networking capabilities, and SLA terms Negotiate and close contracts: reserved capacity agreements, spot arrangements, MSAs, DPAs, and order forms Work closely with our engineering teams to translate technical requirements into procurement specs Track
