Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Deploy and validate data center network infrastructure including front-end, back-end, BMS, and management systems by configuring switches, installing and validating optical transceivers, and coordinating cabling to ensure full fabric convergence.
  • • Ensure physical connectivity meets production-grade standards by coordinating fiber remediation, validating insertion loss and OTDR traces, and troubleshooting optical-layer issues to prevent outages at scale.
  • • Manage end-to-end hardware logistics including device staging, rack/stack coordination, RMA processing, DCIM updates, inventory tracking, and vendor shipment scheduling to ensure hardware readiness for deployments.
  • • Partner with DC Operations, ICT, Hardware, and Network Engineering teams to identify and escalate blockers early, align cross-functional efforts, and maintain momentum during high-intensity deployment cycles.
  • • Maintain accurate cutsheets, as-builts, validation results, and lessons learned documentation to continuously improve the deployment playbook and enable team scalability.
  • • Provide operational support during and after deployments including incident response, break-fix troubleshooting, and real-time resolution of network connectivity issues across complex topologies.
  • • Automate repetitive tasks by converting manual processes into software tools; any task performed twice by hand is expected to be automated to reduce human error and increase velocity.
  • • Execute deployments with extreme ownership, often taking on scope beyond core responsibilities to ensure timelines are met and infrastructure is delivered flawlessly.
  • • Travel 50–60% of the time to onsite deployment locations across the U.S. to support rapid data center turn-up at new sites every few months.
  • • Configure and validate modern network fabrics including EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, and CLOS architectures in production environments with tens of thousands of links.
  • • Validate every optical link for cleanliness, signal integrity, and error-free performance before any AI training job is allowed to run on the fabric.
  • • Use tooling and automation to eliminate manual cutsheets and reduce deployment queues, ensuring zero tolerance for "close enough" in infrastructure readiness.
  • • Document all configurations, test results, and operational procedures with precision to support auditability, knowledge transfer, and future scaling.
  • • Work at high intensity in a fast-paced environment where speed and scale are the primary differentiators, often under tight deadlines to deploy gigawatts of compute infrastructure.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Hands-on experience deploying and configuring production-grade data center network infrastructure, including switches and modern fabrics (EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, CLOS)
  • • Proven ability to troubleshoot across physical and logical layers, including OTDR traces, insertion loss, BGP sessions, and complex network topologies
  • • Willingness and ability to travel 50–60% for onsite deployments across the U.S.
  • • Experience managing hardware logistics: staging, rack/stack, RMA, DCIM, inventory, and vendor coordination
  • • Strong documentation skills with a focus on cutsheets, as-builts, validation results, and deployment playbooks
  • • Comfort working in high-velocity environments with extreme ownership and autonomy, often taking on scope beyond core role

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Competitive total compensation package including salary and equity
  • • Retirement or pension plan aligned with local norms
  • • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • • Generous PTO policy aligned with local norms
