About the role

  • Data Center Infrastructure Architect designing scalable and resilient optical cabling for hyper-scale data centers. Implementing physical solutions and automating fiber mapping for efficiency.

Responsibilities

  • The DC Infrastructure Architect is responsible for translating logical network topologies into scalable, resilient, and cost-optimized optical and structured cabling design for hyper-scale data centers.
  • Own the end-to-end physical implementation of the data center network (DCN), including fiber plant architecture and integration with structured cabling ecosystems.
  • Automate port-to-fiber mapping at scale (100K+ ports per site).
  • Define patching architectures (direct MPO vs. breakout vs. mid-span).
  • Build modular designs for pod/rack growth.

Requirements

  • Proven experience designing hyperscale or cloud provider data center networks (1000+ racks, 100K+ fiber strands).
  • Expert in structured cabling systems (Corning, Panduit, CommScope) and MPO/MTP ecosystems.
  • Deep knowledge of optical standards (IEEE 802.3, OIF) and transceiver technologies (400G/800G DR4, FR4, LR4, SR8).
  • Strong grasp of fiber loss budgets, dispersion, and testing methodologies (OTDR, insertion loss, polarity verification).
  • Experience integrating designs into DCIM tools (NetBox, Remedy, custom hyperscaler equivalents).

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.
