This person is expected to have a technical background in an engineering discipline, not necessarily specific to data centers. This role involves working with engineering, planning and other technical leaders in peer teams on complex infrastructure projects and solving technical and logistical challenges associated with capacity planning, installation, provisioning, decommissioning, retrofits, and service migrations. This role will work very closely with our data center Capacity Engineering teams to drive alignment on process, metrics, best practices, and strategic priorities.This is an IC role, and we are not looking for someone to manage people.

They will provide a representational voice for the field in conversations within the pillar in addition to cross-functional partners.
