Description

We are looking for a Senior Network Engineer to design, build, and operate large-scale, high-performance data center networks supporting GPU-dense AI workloads.

You will take end-to-end ownership of service provider–grade and CLOS-based network infrastructure, ensuring reliability, scalability, and predictable performance across distributed environments.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing and evolving scalable data center network architectures (CLOS/leaf-spine) for high-throughput, low-latency environments
  • Owning end-to-end deployment and lifecycle management of routing and switching infrastructure across production environments
  • Developing and maintaining network design documentation, standards, and operational procedures
  • Planning, executing, and validating network infrastructure testing, including vendor evaluation and benchmarking
  • Diagnosing and resolving complex network issues across the TCP/IPv4/v6 stack in large-scale distributed environments
  • Optimizing traffic engineering, ECMP, and load balancing strategies to ensure efficient utilization of network resources
  • Implementing and operating MPLS-based technologies, including L3 VPNs and segment routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6)
  • Collaborating with hardware, systems, and software teams to integrate networking with compute and storage infrastructure
  • Automating network operations and workflows to improve reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency
  • Ensuring high availability and performance of production networks through proactive monitoring and continuous improvement

We expect you to have:

  • Expert-level knowledge (CCIE/JNCIE or equivalent) in MPLS, routing, and switching for service provider and data center networks
  • Strong experience with Ethernet switching, VXLAN, and modern cloud overlay networking technologies
  • Deep expertise in routing protocols including BGP and IS-IS
  • Hands-on experience with segment routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6), L3 MPLS VPNs, and ECMP-based traffic balancing
  • Proven experience designing and documenting large-scale network architectures
  • Experience developing and executing network testing strategies and validating vendor solutions
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across the TCP/IPv4/v6 stack in CLOS-based data center environments
  • Solid understanding of network hardware architecture, QoS mechanisms, and packet processing pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with network equipment from vendors such as Juniper, Arista, Huawei, and Mellanox
  • Working proficiency in English

It will be an added bonus if you have:

  • Working proficiency in an additional European language
  • Experience with public cloud networking and GPU/InfiniBand environments
  • Knowledge of software-defined networking (SDN) overlays in cloud environments
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or other programming languages in Linux environments
  • Experience using programming languages for network automation and tooling

Working conditions:

  • Remote work within the United States
  • Work closely with globally distributed infrastructure and engineering teams
  • Participation in on-call rotations to support production environments

Key employee benefits:

  • Comprehensive health insurance
  • 401(k) plan with company contribution
  • Paid time off and public holidays
  • Flexible working hours
  • Professional development and certification support

Compensation:

  • $125,000 – $180,000 USD per year, depending on experience and qualifications
