Meta's Data Center Project Development organization is seeking a Lease Connectivity Engineer to support the design and construction of network and power connectivity infrastructure for leased data center facilities. Our leased data center portfolio is a critical component of Meta's global compute infrastructure, enabling the scale and reliability required to support billions of users. In this role, you will serve as a subject matter expert on connectivity systems — including fiber, power, and network infrastructure — bridging the gap between landlord-provided facilities and Meta's technical requirements. You will collaborate with internal engineering teams, external landlords, utilities, and carriers to ensure seamless, on-time delivery of connectivity capacity.

Qualifications:

8+ years of experience in data center connectivity design, construction, or network infrastructure engineering within leased, colocation, or hyperscale data center environments Experience with fiber optic infrastructure design and delivery, including outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) fiber systems, conduit routing, splice planning, and carrier interconnection Experience coordinating with telecommunications carriers, dark fiber providers, and utility companies on service delivery, technical specifications, and construction timelines Experience reviewing and interpreting connectivity design drawings, specifications, and construction documents including pathway plans, fiber schedules, and meet-me room layouts Experience managing multiple concurrent infrastructure projects across geographically distributed leased or colocation data center sites Knowledge of data center power and network infrastructure standards, including ANSI/TIA, BICSI, and relevant building codes applicable to critical facility connectivity systems Experience communicating technical connectivity requirements and project status in writing to cross-functional stakeholders including real estate, legal, network engineering, and operations teams Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements) Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies Familiarity with network routing, optical transport, and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies as they relate to data center interconnection Experience using project management and design collaboration platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam, or similar tools in a data center construction context Experience with colocation and leased data center contract structures, including technical annexes, service level agreements, and landlord connectivity obligations BICSI Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) or equivalent industry certification in data center infrastructure
