This role provides the opportunity to showcase your in-depth understanding of data center design, engineering, and operations of infrastructure common to data centers, telecommunications facilities, and other critical environment infrastructure.

You will have opportunities to influence standards for data center products, build and improve processes, and guide the direction of our colocation data center portfolio on a global scale.
