About Us

<>

Iceotope's technology is particularly well-suited for AI workloads, high-density computing, and applications requiring maximum thermal efficiency, making us a key player in the evolving landscape of energy-efficient data centers.

Iceotope's liquid cooling solutions use environmentally and people-safe dielectric coolants to remove heat directly at the source—completely eliminating the need for traditional air-cooling infrastructure. By leveraging fully sealed, rack-mounted systems, our technology eliminates operational noise, improves component reliability, and allows data centers to operate efficiently.

The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for a visionary technical leader and change agent who can translate Iceotope's innovative technology into comprehensive solution architectures that address complex customer challenges. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strategic thinking, able to see beyond immediate implementation details to develop scalable, future-proof architectures.

You should excel at understanding business requirements and translating them into technical solutions that deliver measurable value. You're comfortable working at both the whiteboard level—creating high-level designs—and the detailed implementation level when needed. As a principal-level architect, you'll be expected to influence not just how our solutions are implemented, but how they're designed and positioned in the market.

Your communication skills allow you to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences, from engineers to executives. You're passionate about sustainability and see the critical connection between efficient data center cooling and responsible computing infrastructure.

What's In It For You

  • The opportunity to define technical standards for an emerging industry category
  • Influence over product strategy and solution development for a rapidly growing company
  • Visibility with executive leadership at major technology organizations
  • The chance to drive meaningful environmental impact through innovative technical solutions
  • Recognition as a thought leader in sustainable data center infrastructure
  • The satisfaction of architecting solutions that fundamentally transform how computing infrastructure is cooled and powered

Join us in making AI cool and data centers more scalable through revolutionary precision liquid cooling technology.
