POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking a highly skilled Data Center Infrastructure Architect to lead the physical design and implementation of a hyper-scale data center. You will own end-to-end physical network planning, including fiber plant architecture, transceiver selection, and integration with structured cabling ecosystems, ensuring our infrastructure supports rapid growth and future technological advancements.

  • You will work on cutting-edge projects with top industry leaders, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in data center design

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Logical to Physical Mapping : Break down and automate logical port maps (TOR, spine, super-spine, DCI) into physical cabling schematics, supporting sites with over 100,000 ports.
  • Fiber Plant Design : Define and specify fiber cable types (MTP / MPO), trunk counts, and hierarchical cabling structures; optimize cassette placement within racks and meet-me rooms for efficiency and scalability.
  • Optics and Transceiver Planning : Select appropriate 400G / 800G transceivers (DR4, FR4, LR4, SR8, coherent DCI) based on reach, loss budgets, and interoperability across vendors and generations.
  • Structured Cabling & Physical Implementation : Develop patching architectures, standardize labeling and documentation, and design pathways to support high-density fiber environments.
  • Scalability & Lifecycle Management : Build modular, scalable designs adaptable to future upgrades (e.g., move to 800G / 1.6T optics); integrate with data center management tools like NetBox for tracking fibers and ports.
  • Collaboration & Standards Compliance : Work closely with vendors and engineering teams to ensure designs meet industry standards (IEEE 802.3, OIF) and organizational requirements.
  • QUALIFICATIONS

  • Proven experience designing hyperscale or cloud data center networks (1,000+ racks, 100,000+ fibers).
  • Deep expertise in structured cabling systems (Corning, Panduit, CommScope) and MPO / MTP ecosystems.
  • Strong knowledge of optical standards and transceiver tech (400G / 800G, dispersion, testing methods like OTDR).
  • Experience with fiber loss budgets, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Skilled in integrating designs with DCIM and other management tools.
  • Background in scaling infrastructure to support high-speed optics transitions and future growth.
  • COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

    This full-time position offers an annual base salary range of $200-400k, commensurate with experience, plus bonus potential and an equity package. The organization provides a robust benefits package that includes comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage in addition to paid time off.
