What they need
We are seeking a Production Engineer, Network Engineering to carry the pager, repair end to end, and build the tooling that makes that repair repeatable for a rapidly scaling AI infrastructure company building large, high-density datacenter sites and the networks that connect them.
About the company: A fast-growing team designing, building, and operating power and data infrastructure for large-scale AI compute. The work is greenfield and multi-site, at a scale where manual operations do not hold up in production.
What you will do:
- Carry the on-call pager and run repair end to end: diagnose the fault, execute the fix or drive the RMA, and return the link to service across DC fabric, edge, and host-to-network
- Write Python and Go tooling that replaces manual diagnosis, including link tests, remote command execution across the fleet, and repair visualization that shows what is broken and why
- Automate the repair pipeline from fault detection through RMA initiation, ticket integration, transceiver and optics tracking, and return to service, so a failure at any site follows the same path
- Maintain the real-time monitoring and alerting that gives every on-call engineer a true picture of network health, and keep it accurate as new sites and hardware roll in
- Validate new sites and hardware into production with the qualification tests that confirm a network is healthy before it carries traffic
What we are looking for:
- You have carried a pager for a production network and can walk into an outage, find the fault, fix it or drive the RMA, and write the postmortem without someone walking you through it
- You have written Python or Go that replaced a manual network task, from link diagnostics to config pushes to fleet-wide command execution
- You can tell a transceiver fault, a bad route, and a power event apart from the signals alone
- Hands-on with link diagnostics, optics, and network monitoring (gNMI, gRPC, NETCONF, SONiC) , and comfortable at the CLI on switches and routers across a fleet
- You treat toil as a bug. If a repair step means SSHing into ten boxes by hand, you script it once
- You get competent in an unfamiliar part of the stack fast, and you document it so the next on call does not start from zero
- Bonus points: RMA and repair lifecycle automation, large-scale datacenter fabric (BGP, ECMP, spine-leaf) , out-of-band network management, and daily use of AI coding tools
Why this role:
- Own repair from first alert to return to service, not just the ticket
- Build the tooling that turns a network fault from a mystery into a closed loop
- Work on mission-critical infrastructure where a new site does not wait for process to catch up
