## About the Role

The ideal candidate is a seasoned network engineer with deep operational experience in large-scale environments who thrives in high-pressure situations and takes pride in keeping systems healthy. You'll contribute to defining SLIs and SLOs, improving observability tooling, building automation to reduce toil, and mentoring peers - all while serving as a key escalation point during high-severity network events., * 8+ years of production network engineering experience with a focus on operations, incident response, and reliability in large-scale or internet-scale environments.

 * Strong Python and scripting proficiency: comfortable writing diagnostic tooling, auto-remediation scripts, and automation pipelines from scratch, not just modifying existing scripts.
 * Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tools including streaming telemetry, SNMP, NetFlow/sFlow, Grafana, Prometheus, and ThousandEyes, and the ability to script against their APIs.
 * Experience operating RDMA/RoCE lossless fabrics for GPU or HPC workloads, including familiarity with PFC, ECN, and DCQCN tuning.
 * Expert hands-on knowledge of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, IS-IS, OSPF, MPLS, QoS, and TCP/IP in production data center environments.
 * Proficiency with Arista (EOS) and Juniper (Junos) platforms in leaf-spine CLOS architectures across multi-vendor environments.
 * Comfort operating large device fleets across multi-region environments with on-call responsibility, including experience as an escalation point during critical events.
 * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Bonus Points:

 * Experience with NVIDIA/Mellanox networking platforms in GPU cluster environments.
 * Familiarity with Kentik or Arbor for traffic analysis and DDoS visibility.
 * Experience defining or contributing to SLIs and SLOs in partnership with SRE or product teams.
 * Exposure to operating 10K+ device fleets across hyperscale or cloud environments.
 * Background contributing to post-incident learning programs or operational excellence initiatives org-wide.

## Description

* Production Reliability: Help own uptime across Crusoe's global edge, backbone, data center, and GPU cluster network, directly supporting AI workloads at scale.
 * Operational Automation: Build and maintain Python-based tooling to reduce toil, automate common remediation workflows, and accelerate mean time to resolution across the operations org.
 * Automate Incident Response: Develop scripts and tooling that speed up detection, triage, and mitigation during high-severity network events, and contribute directly to the response itself, including stakeholder communication and postmortem documentation.
 * Automate Root Cause Analysis: Build tooling to surface systemic issues faster during RCAs, and drive remediation plans tracked through to closure.
 * Observability Automation: Write automation on top of Crusoe's monitoring stack (streaming telemetry, SNMP, NetFlow, Kentik, Grafana, Prometheus, ThousandEyes) to reduce manual triage and surface actionable signal faster.
 * Operational Standards: Author and maintain runbooks, escalation playbooks, and SOPs, with an eye toward what can be scripted or automated rather than performed manually.
 * SLI/SLO Contribution: Partner with Architecture and SRE teams to define and track network reliability metrics, and build the automated dashboards and alerting that back them.
 * Mentorship: Provide technical guidance to Senior engineers, particularly around automation practices and reducing operational toil, and contribute to a culture of operational excellence.
