About the Role

We're looking for a Network Development Engineer who can design, build, and operate network infrastructure across data center and engineering environments. You'll own architectures that support production systems, integration environments, and engineering labs - delivering reliability and scalability while enabling teams to move fast.

You'll bring data center networking fundamentals - switching fabrics, routing, segmentation, automation - and apply them across environments with varying requirements, from production-grade availability to rapid reconfigurability for hardware integration and system validation.

About You

You deliver simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions - whether refreshing aging infrastructure or standing up something new. You're comfortable designing a scalable switching fabric and equally comfortable helping an engineer debug why their test hardware can't reach a shared resource. You bring production-grade thinking to every environment you touch, and you understand that great infrastructure enables great engineering.

Key job responsibilities
• Design & deploy network architectures - switching fabrics, routing, segmentation, and connectivity across data center and infrastructure environments
• Automate network provisioning, configuration management, and operational workflows; build tooling that enables infrastructure to scale at higher volume
• Operate & sustain multi-tenant network environments including technology refresh, scaling, and optimization - delivering simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions
• Troubleshoot & resolve complex cross-domain network events spanning physical layer through application connectivity; diagnose root cause and mitigate impact
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software engineering teams to define requirements and ensure smooth rollout of new designs and products
• Lead projects in network deployment, sustaining engineering, and infrastructure scaling
• Maintain standards for change management, documentation (SOPs, implementation guides, knowledge transfer), and configuration control; ensure compliance across the networking toolset

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 4+ years of major internet routing protocols experience

- 1+ years of working in a Linux/Unix environment experience

- 1+ years of data center, critical environment, computer hardware repair, infrastructure cabling, network deployment, or data center operations experience, or experience with Network Protocols: TCP/IP, Ethernet, L2/L3 technologies

- 3+ years of network engineering experience (design, deployment, operations)

- Proficiency in network automation (Python, Ansible, or equivalent) and infrastructure-as-code

- Experience with enterprise/data center switching platforms (Arista, Cisco Nexus, Juniper, or similar)

- Hands-on experience with Linux networking (bridges, namespaces, virtual interfaces, firewalling)

- Experience operating in multi-tenant or shared infrastructure environments

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 1+ years of automation scripting using Python, Bash, Shell and/or Perl experience

- Experience supporting engineering labs, test environments, or integration infrastructure

- Familiarity with embedded systems integration

- Experience building self-service tooling for non-network engineers

- Exposure to SDN concepts, programmable data planes, or SONiC

- Understanding of systems engineering lifecycle (requirements, integration, verification)

- Familiarity with RF, satellite, or communications system hardware integration
