Need Data Center Migration Architect-100% Remote
Location: Remote
Duration: 12+Months
The DC Architect role is not an admin, not a coordinator — this is a senior technical lead with deep experience in large‑scale data center migrations and forensic cleanup.
We need someone who can operate independently, make strategic recommendations, and coordinate multiple streams of physical and logical work.
Here’s the expectation:
DC Architect — Required Experience
Has led multiple large‑scale data center migrations or consolidations (preferably in a financial, regulated, or high‑availability environment).
Understands complex physical + logical environments: racks, power, cooling, cabling, networks, virtualization, storage arrays, clusters, dependencies, and application stacks.
Able to design migration and cleanup strategies, not just execute tasks.
Comfortable running forensic triage across diverse hardware (servers, network, storage, ESXi clusters, firewalls).
Understands redundancy models, failure domains, and risk areas in a Tier III data center environment.
Deep hands‑on ability — can log into systems, inspect configs, read logs, and make technical determinations.
DCIM & CMDB expertise — can identify data model issues, alignment failures, and structural gaps in our inventory systems.
DC Architect — Responsibilities
Build and drive an 18‑month cleanup and migration strategy across all four sites
Prioritize racks/rows, wave plans, and risk‑reducing initiatives
Identify constraints (power, cooling, network paths, migration windows)
Make architectural recommendations based on what the forensic teams find
Act as escalation point when systems are unknown, misconfigured, or business‑critical
Review scream test candidates and determine safety and timing
Ensure all physical cleanup ties back to accurate records in ServiceNow/DCIM/Nautobot
Short version:
This person must be capable of running an entire DC cleanup program on their own and making real architectural decisions — not just following a script.
