Network & Infrastructure Transport Planner

Every day we strive to provide the best possible experience to our users that are now numbered in billions, and to make that possible, we have deployed an ultra-high capacity backbone network that spans the Globe.

We are looking for a Transport Planner to join our Backbone team to support the expansion of our global network.

This is an ideal role for a Transport Planner that wants to work on a purpose built and ever expending network that touches and changes the lives of billions for the better every day.

Responsibilities:

Network & Infrastructure Transport Planner Responsibilities:

Apply domain expertise in Data Center, CDN architecture, IP Routing and/or Optical Engineering to develop topology to sizing plans for one or more domains of the network

Provide Technical leadership to peer group on network planning, resiliency, design principles

Analyze traffic capacity projections and develop an optical transport network capacity plan accordingly

Network design, accounting for technological capabilities and network routing, to ensure scaling requirements and resiliency for the network are met

Oversee fiber topology evolution of the backbone to achieve resiliency, and latency requirements

Model ad hoc, what-if scenarios, including greenfield and brownfield demand and supply scenarios to set strategy

Analyze simulations results to identify influential drivers and build key indicators to validate designs recommendations into production

Investigate collections of network failure and routing behaviors, and create simulation tests to improve network efficiency and network reliability metrics

Follow the developments of IP or Optical technology roadmaps and capabilities

Partner with Engineering, Finance, and Sourcing to support backbone fiber acquisitions strategies

Qualification and experience:
