What We're Looking For

Lightning AI is seeking Network Operations Center (NOC) Analysts to support 24/7 operations across select high-performance compute data centers with advanced monitoring infrastructure. This is a technically focused role centered on telemetry analysis, infrastructure monitoring, and independent diagnosis of compute, network, and hardware systems.

You will serve as the first line of technical response - analyzing telemetry signals, diagnosing system anomalies, and troubleshooting Linux and network-layer issues before escalating with clear, actionable findings. You will operate with a high degree of independence, applying sound judgment in situations that often extend beyond predefined runbooks.

This role offers a clear pathway toward positions in network engineering, site reliability, or data center operations, and the opportunity work with next-generation AI hardware and some of the most advanced compute infrastructure deployed today.

This role is based onsite at one of our data center facilities in Lisle, IL; Fort Worth, TX; or Quincy, WA. Shift flexibility is required to support our 24/7 operations environment. We are not able to provide visa sponsorship for this position at this time.

What You'll Do

 * Monitor data center systems using telemetry data, dashboards, and alerting tools to detect anomalies and emerging issues
 * Perform independent technical diagnosis across Linux systems, network connectivity, and hardware health using command-line tools, logs, and diagnostic utilities
 * Troubleshoot network-layer issues including connectivity, routing, and interface errors
 * Triage and escalate incidents to the appropriate teams (hardware, network, SRE) with technically accurate summaries, relevant logs, and telemetry findings
 * Create and maintain detailed tickets documenting diagnostic steps, technical findings, and observed system behavior
 * Identify recurring alert patterns through telemetry analysis and surface findings to improve monitoring coverage and reliability
