This role is part of the CO+I Engineering team (CO+IE) which delivers services, applications, and automation supporting datacenter planning, construction, and operation.

The position offers the opportunity to work on critical infrastructure systems that enable predictable, lowest-cost datacenter construction, telemetry systems for high availability and optimized energy usage, and performance management applications. You'll be developing automation capabilities that power long-range execution planning efforts and drive workflow improvements for large-scale datacenter delivery.

As a Software Engineer II, you'll be writing high-quality code following SOLID principles, collaborating with stakeholders in an Agile environment, and resolving complex system integration challenges.
