  • Maintain standards for all builds and design packages for metro, regional and long-haul DWDM rings/systems
  • Serve as a representative in large-scale program initiatives, driving alignment and execution across teams and stakeholders
  • Manage partner engineering team relationships to enable the team(s) to effectively meet business needs
  • Manage key vendor relationships including contract negotiations, pricing, and evaluation of current and potential partnerships

  • Experience analyzing technical data to inform decisions, communicating risks and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and collaborating across teams to deliver results in large-scale network environments
  • Experience in communicating risks and action plans to stakeholders as well as building relationships and collaboration within a cross-functional team and business leaders
  • Willingness to travel approximately 10% of the time

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with process improvement and systems development, leveraging automation to streamline repetitive workflows
  • Experience working in a Data Center, DC architecture and issues related to data center networks
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • Experience building automation solutions (e.g., Python, Go) and working with network configuration management tooling
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
