We help the world's largest enterprises move past correlation to prove what actually drives business outcomes - the question marketing and growth teams have never been able to answer with confidence. Fortune 100 companies including Nvidia, Delta Air Lines, and Mars use Alembic to make multimillion-dollar decisions on trusted, causal evidence.\nWe're backed by a $145M Series B from WndrCo (founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg), Jensen Huang, Joe Montana, Prysm Capital, and Accenture. Our models run on our own NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD built on Grace Blackwell infrastructure - one of the fastest private supercomputers in the world. (We've melted GPUs getting here.)\nAbout the Role\nWe're building infrastructure that has to perform under real-world scale, reliability, and security demands - and we're looking for an engineer who wants to own the foundation it runs on. This isn't a traditional \"keep the lights on\" role.\nYou'll design and operate the global network and reliability layer behind one of the world's fastest private supercomputers - the fabric powering distributed compute, ML workloads, real-time analytics, and mission-critical enterprise systems. You'll work across networking, systems, automation, observability, and reliability engineering to scale a platform where performance genuinely matters, with real influence over architecture decisions.\nIt's a strong fit if you like solving deep infrastructure problems, building resilient systems, automating everything repetitive, and owning architecture rather than just maintaining it.\nWhat You'll Do\nArchitect and operate scalable, secure network architecture for high-security requirements and large-scale machine learning workloads.\n\nOwn network device configuration management end to end, ensuring consistency and reliability across the fleet.\n\nImprove system and network reliability and performance through automation, observability, and proactive capacity planning.\n\nImplement and manage complex network protocols and connectivity, including BGP, VPNs, and WAN circuits and external peering.\n\nBuild and maintain comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and incident response - SLOs, runbooks, and on-call rotations - and drive post-incident analysis and continuous improvement.\n\nEnsure security, compliance, and operational readiness across our network and cloud infrastructure.\n\nPartner across engineering and data science to drive a culture of performance and reliability.\n\nWhat Will Help You Succeed\n8+ years in network or infrastructure engineering, including 5+ years in datacenter operations and/or systems and network administration.\n\nA strong background in network security, architecture, design, and operations.\n\nExtensive hands-on experience with network devices (firewalls, switches, load balancers) and large-scale architectures and protocols - BGP, QoS, MPLS, and IPsec VPNs.\n\nExperience designing and operating modern datacenter network fabrics (spine-leaf, EVPN/VXLAN, ECMP).\n\nNetwork automation and IaC tooling (Ansible, Terraform, Nornir, or similar), plus IPAM/DCIM platforms (NetBox, Infoblox, or similar).\n\nWAN engineering - carrier circuit provisioning and external network peering.\n\nFamiliarity with Kubernetes networking (CNI plugins, ingress, service networking, network policy) and strong operational experience with Linux-based production infrastructure.\n\nExperience with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, OpenTelemetry).\n\nSolid scripting (Python, Bash) to debug complex network and system issues and automate solutions, plus excellent cross-functional communication.\n\nAlso Helpful\nNVIDIA networking technologies - Cumulus Linux, InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, and BlueField DPUs (this is the fabric behind our SuperPOD).\n\nFamiliarity with data-intensive platforms (Spark, Airflow, Kafka) and storage network protocols (NFS, LustreFS, iSCSI).\n\nSecurity practices for applications and infrastructure, and experience in high-compliance or SOC 2 environments.\n\nThe Role Is Right for You If\nYou want to own mission-critical network and infrastructure end to end - from architecture to incident management - not just keep it running.\n\nYou'd rather build and automate than direct from a distance, and you want meaningful influence over how a high-performance platform scales.\n\nWhy You Might Be Excited About Alembic\nHard problems with real impact: You'll own the network and reliability layer behind systems that influence multimillion-dollar decisions at Fortune 100 companies.\n\nCutting-edge technology: Operate our own NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD on Grace Blackwell - one of the fastest private supercomputers in the world - and run a fabric (InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, BlueField) almost no company has in-house.\n\nTechnical autonomy: Ownership over architecture decisions and the freedom to solve hard infrastructure problems your way.\n\nElite team: Join top engineers who thrive on hard problems and high-impact work.\n\nSeries B momentum, real ownership: Meaningful equity at a Series B company that's raised $145M, with proven product-market fit and Fortune 100 traction.\n\nWhy You Might Not Be Excited\nIf you only want to tell people what to build instead of building and automating alongside them, this isn't the environment for you.\n\nYou prefer companies with 100% built-out process for every detail.\n\nYou prefer static over dynamic - projects and priorities adapt as we grow. We have real paying customers and a playbook, and we still move at startup speed at Series B scale.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5534,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Decision Intelligence","Marketing Analytics & Attribution"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T08:21:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":242500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":4}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.278,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":142,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":240000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/alembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/alembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T14:27:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19942,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669348},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669348"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Falembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Falembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/alembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falembic-senior-network-site-reliability-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":725692}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"alembic.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":725692},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
