## Description

As a Network Engineer, you will build the network infrastructure connecting Gimlet's compute, storage, and distributed systems. Your work will shape how our data centers are designed, deployed, and operated as the platform scales.

You will work across network architecture, physical infrastructure, provisioning, deployment, and production operations. You will design high-performance network fabrics, bring new sites and hardware online, automate operational workflows, and troubleshoot performance and reliability issues across network and systems boundaries.

What success looks like

In the first 12-18 months, you will:

 * Design and deploy network infrastructure for new data centers and hardware expansions
 * Improve network performance and reliability for distributed AI workloads
 * Automate provisioning, configuration, validation, and monitoring workflows
 * Establish repeatable network standards that make infrastructure deployments faster and more reliable
 * Troubleshoot complex issues across network, hardware, and distributed systems boundaries
