Data Center Infrastructure Architect

How We Operate

• Extreme ownership.
• Full autonomy.
• Velocity.
• First principles.
• Love of the game.

Role Scope

Own the end-to-end physical implementation of the data center network: fiber plant architecture, transceiver planning, and structured cabling integration for hyperscale sites.

Collaborate with CSA, MEP, and construction teams on power, cooling, space, pathways, cabinets, and racks, and develop, read, and interpret construction drawings in Bluebeam, ACC, and Procore.

Break down DCN logical port maps (TOR, spine, super-spine, DCI) into physical cross-connect and patching schedules, and automate port-to-fiber mapping at 100K+ ports per site.

Define cassette types (MTP/MPO Base-8/12/16), trunk counts, and structured cabling hierarchy, and model fiber utilization and overbuild for two to three hardware generations.

Select optics (400G/800G DR4, FR4, LR4, SR8, coherent DCI) by reach and loss budget, validate interoperability across vendors and generations, and maintain loss-budget and margin models for every link type.

Own the ICT Basis of Design, SOPs, and Division 26/27/28/33 master specifications, and integrate with DCIM (NetBox, custom tools) to track strands, ports, and patching.

What We're Looking For

• You've designed hyperscale or cloud-provider data center networks (1000+ racks, 100K+ fiber strands).
• You're expert in structured cabling systems (Corning, Panduit, CommScope) and MPO/MTP ecosystems.
• You know optical standards (IEEE 802.3, OIF) and transceiver technologies (400G/800G DR4, FR4, LR4, SR8) deeply.
• You command fiber loss budgets, dispersion, and testing methodologies (OTDR, insertion loss, polarity verification).
• You integrate designs into DCIM tools (NetBox, Remedy, or custom hyperscaler equivalents).
• Bonus: RCDD certification.
• Coherent DCI.
• Multi-generation optics roadmapping.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
• Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
