## Description

We're looking for a Network Software Engineer (NetSWE) to build software that makes network operations safe, scalable, and boring , even as we launch new data centers and expand fast.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Building and maintaining services and tooling that automate the network lifecycle: day-0 provisioning, day-N changes, drift detection, and operational verification

- Making network changes safe and transparent: CI/CD workflows, diff/review tooling, staged rollouts/rollbacks, audit trails, and guardrails

- Developing observability systems that scale across many sites: telemetry pipelines, signal quality, and tooling that shortens incident investigations

- Closing 'last mile' gaps between the network and the platform: integrate source-of-truth data, expose APIs, and build reliable automation around it

- Collaborating closely with network engineers and SREs to turn real operational pain into product-quality tooling

We expect you to have:

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent practical background)

- Strong coding skills and ownership mindset: you can ship and operate reliable services

- Proficiency in Go or readiness to switch; Python is also welcome (other languages can be useful for OSS debugging/fixes)

- Interest in infrastructure and/or network

It will be an added bonus if you have:

- Background in networking (ex-network engineer, CCNP/education, DC networking exposure) or strong interest and proven ability to learn fast

- Experience building automation/infra tooling: CI/CD, IaC, testing/staging environments, or 'network-as-code' style workflows

- Low-level networking / datapath experience: eBPF/XDP, DPDK, kernel networking, traffic processing systems

- Experience designing high-load services and observability platforms (metrics/logs/traces, alerting, regression detection)

- Contributions to open source or experience extending/debugging OSS components in production environments

We expect Staff Engineers to:

- Manage large-scale projects involving multiple stakeholders

- Break down complex tasks and guide both their own work and that of more junior colleagues

- Be experts in specific technologies and write high-quality code that can serve as a reference

- Assess task priority and focus on high-impact work, avoiding low-value efforts

- Have strong architectural thinking and contribute to system design

- Be involved in hiring and actively contribute to interviews

- Be willing to share knowledge and mentor others

Benefits & Perks:

- Competitive compensation

- Career growth and learning opportunities

- Flexibility and ownership

- Collaborative and innovative culture

- Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects

- International environment and talented teams
