Job Title: Lead Hyperscale Datacenter Network Engineer
Location:
Remote
The base salary range:
$200,000 – $300,000 pending experience.
Must have Hyperscale experience Company Summary Lead Network Engineer
to lead our Network Operations & Reliability pillar. This role will lead the Operations & Reliability team – you'll be building our network operations function from the ground up while being hands‑on with incident response, reliability engineering, and operational tooling. We are looking for someone who is hungry and passionate about the autonomy of building a team and processes that ensure our AI datacenter fabrics run with exceptional reliability at scale.
Focus
Operations Architecture: Define and build the operational model for network reliability at scale. Establish incident response workflows, escalation procedures, runbook frameworks, and operational handoff criteria. Design the systems and processes that enable 24/7 operations across distributed datacenter regions.
Incident Response & Reliability: Own Tier 2+ incident management for network infrastructure. Lead response to critical incidents, perform root cause analysis, drive permanent fixes, and build the reliability engineering practices that prevent recurrence. Partner with NOC on Tier 1 triage and escalation workflows.
Observability & Monitoring: Build comprehensive observability for network infrastructure including monitoring stack integration, alerting frameworks, telemetry collection, and performance analytics. Ensure operators have visibility into fabric health, traffic patterns, and failure conditions across all network layers.
Runbook Development: Author and maintain operational runbooks for common failure scenarios, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting workflows. Build the knowledge base that enables NOC (Tier 1) and regional operations engineers to respond effectively to incidents.
Automation & Tooling: Drive operational automation initiatives including auto‑remediation, failure classification, and runtime tooling. Partner with Network Automation Engineers on design‑time automation while owning runtime operational tooling that improves MTTR and operational efficiency.
Cross‑Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Deployment teams on production handover criteria, Engineering Core on design feedback from operational experience, Hardware teams on break‑fix coordination, and NOC on escalation procedures. Build strong relationships that enable seamless coordination during incidents.
About You
Proven Operations Leadership: 7+ years in network engineering with significant focus on network operations, reliability engineering, or NOC/SOC leadership. Built operational processes from scratch or significantly scaled existing operations.
Deep Technical Operations Expertise: Strong hands‑on experience operating large‑scale datacenter networks including EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, CLOS architectures, and high‑radix switching.
Reliability Engineering Mindset: Think in terms of MTTR, MTTD, and failure domains. Built monitoring and alerting systems, developed runbooks, and implemented automation that improves operational efficiency.
Incident Command Experience: Led response to critical incidents involving multiple teams and stakeholders. Remains calm under pressure, communicates clearly during outages, and drives incidents to resolution.
Nice to Haves
AI/HPC Fabric Operations: Experience with RDMA (RoCEv2), lossless Ethernet (PFC, ECN), or high‑performance networking.
Hyperscale Operations Background: Experience in network operations at hyperscale companies (Meta, Google, Microsoft, AWS) or large cloud providers.
NOC/SOC Leadership: Experience building or leading Network Operations Centers, shift scheduling, and on‑call rotation management.
Observability Stack Expertise: Familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, or similar.
Automation & Scripting: Comfortable with Python, Go, Ansible, Terraform.
SRE Principles: Exposure to SLO/SLI definition, error budgets, post‑incident reviews, and operational readiness reviews.
