• Collaborate closely with network technical program managers, data center teams, engineering groups, procurement specialists, and construction teams to ensure successful project execution.
• Evaluate connectivity feasibility for new data center locations, including validation of long-haul wave solutions, dark fiber options, and network design strategies.
• Act as the technical owner for fiber pathway architecture, including route diversity, manhole placement, conduit systems, and site entry point design.
• Coordinate the design and implementation of Point of Entry (POE) and Meet-Me Room (MMR) infrastructure to support high-capacity, multi-carrier fiber deployments.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with telecommunications providers, fiber owners, utilities, and infrastructure partners.
• Support procurement activities, including RFx processes, contract negotiations, fiber lease agreements, IRUs, and long-term connectivity solutions.
• Manage commercial and technical discussions with external partners to ensure delivery timelines and infrastructure requirements are met.
• Maintain accurate documentation of connectivity assets, fiber routes, and infrastructure plans using geospatial data and technical documentation tools.
• Review, modify, and create infrastructure design plans using AutoCAD to support physical network deployments.
• Contribute to capacity planning, network expansion strategies, and continuous improvement of connectivity processes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of experience in network infrastructure, outside plant (OSP) planning, telecommunications, or data center connectivity project management.
• Strong understanding of fiber optic networks, DWDM technology, inline amplification requirements, and managed optical fiber deployments.
• Experience managing complex infrastructure projects involving multiple internal teams, vendors, and external stakeholders.
• Proven ability to negotiate and manage commercial agreements related to fiber leases, IRUs, construction contracts, or connectivity services.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD for reviewing and creating site infrastructure and conduit design documentation.
• Advanced experience working with GIS tools and geospatial data formats such as KMZ/KML files.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence partners and drive execution against ambitious timelines.
• Deep knowledge of regional fiber infrastructure landscapes, utility right-of-way considerations, and connectivity challenges is highly desirable.
• Experience with large-scale capacity planning and deployments, including 100Tbps+ environments, is a strong advantage.
• Familiarity with Python or Go scripting for infrastructure-related tasks is beneficial.
• Knowledge of service provider networking or data center IP networking is considered a plus.

• Competitive compensation package.
• Flexible remote working options within Europe, with access to international office environments.
• High level of ownership and autonomy in managing impactful infrastructure initiatives.
• Career growth and continuous learning opportunities in advanced cloud and AI infrastructure.
• Opportunity to contribute to large-scale technology projects with global impact.
• Collaborative and innovative culture with talented international teams.
• Fast-moving environment focused on meaningful challenges, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
