## About the role

As a Staff Network Engineer at vCluster Labs , you aren't just configuring switches; you are building the automation logic that configures them. AI Clouds run on InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet fabrics that most teams still wire up by hand, one customer at a time. You will build the automation that turns that fabric into repeatable provisioning logic. You start in a small R&D group alongside our CTO and grow into owning this area as it becomes a core part of our platform. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You have built network automation, not just operated networks: You have shipped software that configures switches, routers, or load balancers programmatically, ideally as part of a product or internal platform other teams relied on
- NVIDIA networking experience: Hands-on work with NVIDIA UFM, NVIDIA Spectrum or Quantum switches, Cumulus Linux, or NVUE, including programming against their APIs
- Deep fabric fundamentals: Strong command of InfiniBand, VLAN, VXLAN and EVPN, and BGP, including how they behave and fail at production scale
- Production scale scars: You have run networks at real production scale, seen them break, and helped fix the root cause with automation rather than runbooks
- Software engineering ability: You write production code in Go or Python, use version control and code review as a matter of course, and think of network config as code
