About this role
Role Overview
- 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.

- 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).
