About the role
Architectural leadership for multi-site data center development, focusing on concept through construction including master planning, building envelope, and permitting across jurisdictions for Fluidstack’s data center portfolio.
Responsibilities
- Own the architectural workstream across a multi-site development portfolio from concept through permitting and construction completion.
- Develop and maintain the architectural basis of design, prototype drawing packages, and master specs for the campus portfolio.

- Own building envelope design (cladding, roofing, curtainwall, louvers, penetration detailing) in compliance with FM Global requirements.
- Manage external architects and engineers of record from schematic through IFC, enforcing standards and tracking quality across concurrent projects.
- Lead permitting strategy across jurisdictions and ensure compliance with IBC, IFC, NFPA 75/76/855, state codes, and ADA.
Qualifications

- You've managed external architects and engineers of record through full design lifecycles across concurrent projects.
- You know IBC, IFC, occupancy classification, egress, and fire-rated assembly design well enough to be the authority with AHJs.
- You've authored owner-side design standards, prototype specs, or basis of design documents.
- You hold envelope and life-safety design to FM Global and code standards through field conditions and contractor-driven changes.
