Experience with DCIM tools, asset management systems, and deployment management workflows. ## Description Insight Global is seeking a Network Engineer to join the Deployment & Integration team supporting large-scale AI datacenter buildouts. This is a hands-on, field-execution role focused on turning up, validating, and scaling hyperscale AI datacenter network infrastructure. You'll deploy modern datacenter fabrics at scale-configuring switches, validating physical-layer connectivity, coordinating with cross-functional teams, resolving blockers in real time, and ensuring clean, production-ready handovers to operations. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and want deep exposure to hyperscale deployments, large fabrics, and AI/ML cluster turn-ups. You'll work closely with senior engineers for technical mentorship and structured onboarding while quickly developing expertise in AI fabric execution. Success in this role means independently owning pod deployments, becoming the go-to field engineer, and growing into deployment leadership as the organization scales., Deployment Execution: Deploy and validate datacenter network infrastructure including front-end and back-end fabrics, BMS networks, and management networks. Configure switches, install optics, coordinate fiber/cabling work, and drive pods from staging to production readiness. Physical Layer Validation: Validate insertion loss, perform OTDR tests, troubleshoot optical issues, and ensure all physical connectivity meets production standards. Maintain accurate as-builts and physical audit documentation. Hardware Lifecycle Management: Oversee hardware logistics including staging, rack/stack coordination, RMAs, and inventory tracking for hyperscale deployments. Cross-Functional Coordination: Partner with DC Operations, ICT teams, Hardware Engineering, and Network Engineering to keep build milestones on track. Documentation & Process Improvement: Contribute to deployment playbooks, SOPs, and repeatable operational processes. Operational Support: Provide backup operational support during and after deployments, including incident response, break/fix, and troubleshooting across physical and logical layers. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
