## About the role

We're building out our own GPU capacity across new data center sites, and we need someone to stand up that infrastructure and drive deployments to completion.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on data center network engineering and understanding of modern fabrics (EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, CLOS), having configured production infrastructure
- You thrive in the field, equally comfortable pulling cable, configuring switches, and troubleshooting the optical layer, and you execute with whatever tooling is available
- You troubleshoot methodically across physical and logical layers: OTDR traces, insertion loss, BGP sessions, and connectivity through complex topologies
- You communicate clearly across technical and non-technical teams, document well, and follow through
- You learn fast and take ownership of ramping on new technology, and you'll travel 50 to 60% to onsite deployments
- Bonus: AI fabric turn-up experience. Configuration management and automation tooling. Vendor certifications
