计算基础设施，关键设施经理

About the Team OpenAI is helping build the infrastructure that powers the next generation of artificial intelligence. Through Stargate, we are developing and operating large-scale AI compute campuses that require world-class execution across data center design, construction, commissioning, and operations. The Infrastructure Operations team is responsible for bringing AI infrastructure online and ensuring it operates reliably at scale. We partner closely with hardware, network, deployment, construction, and operations teams to deliver mission-critical environments capable of supporting frontier AI workloads. As our footprint expands, operational excellence becomes increasingly important to ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient campus operations. About the Role We are seeking a Critical Facilities Manager to support the commissioning, operational readiness, and long-term operation of next-generation AI data center campuses. This role sits at the intersection of construction, commissioning, hardware deployment, and facilities operations. You will be responsible for ensuring mission-critical infrastructure is prepared to support hardware deployment, transitioned successfully into production operations, and maintained to the highest standards of reliability and availability. You will lead day-to-day operational execution across electrical, mechanical, controls, and supporting infrastructure systems while partnering closely with commissioning teams, site operators, vendors, and engineering organizations. This role requires a strong blend of technical depth, operational leadership, and cross-functional execution. Key Responsibilities • Lead day-to-day operations of mission-critical facility infrastructure across AI compute campuses.

• Own operational readiness activities supporting new campus deployments and infrastructure expansion.

• Partner with commissioning teams to transition facilities from construction and startup into steady-state operations.

• Develop, implement, and continuously improve operating procedures, maintenance programs, and response plans.

• Lead infrastructure incident response efforts and coordinate recovery activities during critical events.

• Drive root cause analysis investigations and corrective action programs to improve reliability and operational performance.

• Manage vendors, contractors, and service providers supporting facility operations.

• Partner with hardware deployment, networking, and engineering teams to coordinate infrastructure changes and maintenance activities.

• Monitor facility performance, operational risk, and capacity utilization across critical systems.

• Support staffing, training, and development of facilities operations personnel.

• Ensure compliance with saf
