The posting, in Hut8's own words
archived Sep 10, 2026ABOUT HUT 8 Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Architectural Engineer is a shared resource for building envelope, layouts, and code compliance review across Hut 8's data center projects, supporting permitting and design coordination. Data center architecture is unglamorous and unforgiving: envelope performance, egress, and code compliance have to be right, water-tightness gates the whole MEP schedule, and the AHJ has to say yes - this role owns getting all three right across the portfolio. Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following: Architectural Design Review Review architectural packages across projects - envelope assemblies, roofing systems, exterior skin, doors and hardware, interior layouts, and finishes - for code compliance, durability, and program standards. Verify layouts support equipment movement, maintenance access, and security layering. Code, Egress & Life Safety Own review of occupancy classification, egress design, fire-rated assemblies, and accessibility compliance. Coordinate life-safety plans with the Fire Protection Engineer and resolve code interpretation questions with AHJs. Permitting & AHJ Coordination Support building permit submittals and drive AHJ plan-review comments to resolution with design partners. Anticipate jurisdiction-specific requirements early enough to keep permits off the critical path. Envelope & Water-Tightness Review envelope details for constructability and performance - air/vapor barriers, roofing terminations, penetrations, and louver/equipment interfaces. Support the field on water-tightness milestones that gate MEP rough-in and equipment set. Cross-Discipline Coordination Coordinate architectural scope with structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and security: penetrations, acoustics, equipment access paths, and roof loading zones. Construction Support & Standards Respond to architectural RFIs and submittals, support finish and punch milestones with CSA superintendents, and maintain architectural standards and typical details across the portfolio.
