Full Job Description
Mount Thor is hiring a software engineer with deep networking expertise to build and operate the network platform behind our compute fleet.
In this role you will
  • Own the architecture and technical roadmap for Mount Thor's production network.
  • Design and operate data center fabrics, site connectivity, host networking, customer networks, and management networks.
  • Build software for network provisioning, configuration, validation, deployment, and lifecycle management.
  • Establish a source of truth for topology, addressing, configuration, inventory, and operational state.
  • Bring new sites and capacity online. Own the path from design and physical deployment through validation and production handoff.
  • Build observability across devices, links, hosts, and workloads. Find performance loss and failures before they affect customers.
  • Improve availability, capacity, security, and recovery time. Lead incidents and turn recurring failures into durable fixes.
  • Make agentic development and operation core to the network platform. Use coding agents throughout engineering work. Build tools that let agents investigate state, take safe action, validate results, and escalate exceptions.
You might thrive in this role if you have
  • Built and operated production networks across data centers or other large infrastructure environments.
  • Strong software engineering skills in Go, Python, Rust, or a similar language.
  • Built network automation, internal platforms, or infrastructure software used in production.
  • Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, BGP, routing, switching, network security, and modern data center fabrics.
  • Experience across physical infrastructure, network hardware, Linux systems, and software-defined networking.
  • Experience with configuration management, infrastructure as code, automated validation, and network observability.
  • Strong operational judgment. You design for partial failure, safe changes, rollback, and recovery.
  • Led unclear, cross-functional infrastructure work from design through production.
Bonus Skills
  • Built network infrastructure for bare-metal compute or a multi-tenant cloud.
  • Designed leaf-spine fabrics using BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and ECMP.
  • Built zero-touch provisioning, intent-based configuration, or network-state reconciliation systems.
  • Worked with NetBox, Nautobot, OpenConfig, gNMI, YANG, or similar technologies.
  • Built streaming telemetry, anomaly detection, or automated remediation systems.
  • Worked on host networking, Kubernetes networking, eBPF, or software-defined networking.
  • Operated WAN, carrier, optical, or multi-site data center connectivity.
  • Operated macOS or Apple Silicon systems at scale.
  • Built infrastructure designed for safe operation by software agents.
