This role sits within our Data Center Infrastructure team and acts as the bridge between Infrastructure and the partner teams that own Corporate IT and Security networks, ensuring those systems are reviewed, coordinated, physically deployed, validated, and handed over successfully. Corporate IT and Security teams retain ownership of their own standards and operations; this role provides consultative design support and deployment leadership for those environments, while directly owning OT network delivery, monitoring, cybersecurity, maintenance, and operational readiness in partnership with the OT Network SME. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of critical infrastructure and cybersecurity, helping ensure our data centers come online safely, securely, and on schedule. What You''ll be Doing * Serve as the senior network subject matter expert for OT networks and for the physical deployment and integration of Corporate IT and Security network infrastructure across Nscale data centers. * Partner with Corporate IT, Security, Controls, SCADA, design, construction, commissioning, and operations teams to align requirements, interfaces, and deployment plans. * Consult on Corporate IT and Security network designs as they relate to pathways, cabinet layouts, fiber and copper routing, power, cooling, constructability, and installation sequencing, while those teams retain final design ownership. * Support the physical deployment, labeling, turnover, and site validation of Corporate IT and Security network equipment, cabling, and supporting infrastructure delivered through the Data Center Infrastructure team. * Partner with the OT Network SME to support OT network architecture, segmentation, managed switching, firewall boundaries, redundancy, and PLC and SCADA interfaces. * Support OT network monitoring, alarming, cyber hygiene, and operational visibility to detect, escalate, and resolve network issues quickly. * Coordinate OT cybersecurity practices including remote access controls, patch and vulnerability coordination, backup and restore planning, and incident response support. * Participate in FAT, SAT, commissioning, failover testing, and operational readiness activities for OT networks and related Corporate IT and Security interfaces. * Support OT network troubleshooting, maintenance, lifecycle updates, and recovery from network events during deployment and live operations. * Maintain network documentation and ensure vendor and integrator deliverables meet Nscale standards for quality, resilience, cybersecurity, and handover completeness. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Back to CODE100](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1909-wearedevelopers-live-back-to-code100) - [System Resilience: Surviving the Software Storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/874-system-resilience-surviving-the-software-storm) - [Your Infrastructure Is Not a Playground: AI Agents for Infra Done Right](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2084-your-infrastructure-is-not-a-playground-ai-agents-for-infra-done-right) - [Computer Vision from the Edge to the Cloud done easy](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/263-computer-vision-from-the-edge-to-the-cloud-done-easy) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
