Architect

What you'll do

As Building Architect, you'll support the design and deployment of Giga's data center product line across the United States. You'll work at the intersection of standardized modular design and real-world project execution, adapting repeatable solutions to meet local code requirements and site-specific constraints.

You'll help translate our industrial manufacturing approach into permit-ready architectural packages that satisfy Building Officials, Fire Marshals, and Planning Departments across diverse jurisdictions.

This role combines practical architectural problem-solving with mission-critical execution. You'll develop architectural documentation, coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, and contribute to the rapid deployment of data center facilities throughout the country.
