Network Deployment Lead, DC Communities

About the role

We are looking for a motivated Network Deployment Project Lead to join our growing Infrastructure Delivery team. The role encompasses end-to-end ownership of medium to large-scale Data Center cabling deployments, including migrations, new sites, and new regions. Responsibilities include initial cabling planning, installation, validation, and quality assessment, as well as engaging external contractors and newly onboarded cabling vendors.

You will plan and collaborate with a wide range of project stakeholders to determine device and cabling requirements, schedule resources to meet project timelines, engage external vendors, and provide continuous status reporting. The role also involves the installation, racking, and stacking of networking devices, running and patching fiber cabling, and configuring devices using automation tools and the command line interface. Additionally, you will perform validation, device troubleshooting, and stress testing prior to capacity delivery.

Our ideal candidate enjoys working autonomously, is detail-oriented, and possesses strong written and verbal communication skills. You should be competent in all aspects of installation and troubleshooting of networking hardware, software, and fiber connectivity. This position requires working with minimal supervision to assist in developing innovative ways to automate and scale our data center deployments as we expand.
