Job Description
🛜 Network Engineer - Datacenter Operations
🤖 High-Growth AI Infrastructure
🇺🇸 United States - 30% Travel
💵 $150,000 - $250,000 + Equity + Benefits
Description:
A rapidly scaling AI-infrastructure company, backing many of the world’s leading research labs and next-generation AI builders, is seeking a Network Engineer focused on Operations and Repair.
They’re building colossal GPU clusters in the US - think 100k+ GPUs, liquid cooling, multi-GW power draw. This is the infrastructure that literally determines how fast the future gets built.
This role is for an experienced network operations engineer who wants true ownership. You’ll be the primary operator for a datacenter region, responsible for keeping large-scale network fabrics healthy, responding to complex incidents, and coordinating repair and recovery when things go wrong.
This is not a NOC role and not a design-only position. You’ll work closely with centralized monitoring teams, deployment engineers, and onsite operations to ensure production networks stay available and performant.
What you’ll do
- Own network operations for an assigned datacenter region, supporting datacenter deployments, turn-ups, and expansions
- Act as Tier 2/3 escalation point for network incidents
- Troubleshoot complex L1–L3 and fabric-level issues
- Coordinate network break-fix with onsite teams and vendors
- Manage RMAs and vendor escalations
- Build and maintain regional/network observability dashboards
- Validate production readiness and operational handover
