About the Role
We're looking for a Network Development Engineer who can design, build, and operate network infrastructure across data center and engineering environments. You'll own architectures that support production systems, integration environments, and engineering labs - delivering reliability and scalability while enabling teams to move fast.
You'll bring data center networking fundamentals - switching fabrics, routing, segmentation, automation - and apply them across environments with varying requirements, from production-grade availability to rapid reconfigurability for hardware integration and system validation.
About You
You deliver simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions - whether refreshing aging infrastructure or standing up something new. You're comfortable designing a scalable switching fabric and equally comfortable helping an engineer debug why their test hardware can't reach a shared resource. You bring production-grade thinking to every environment you touch, and you understand that great infrastructure enables great engineering.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen in order to comply with U.S. government-imposed requirements related to the nature of the work and/or where it will be performed.

Key job responsibilities
- Design & deploy network architectures - switching fabrics, routing, segmentation, and connectivity across data center and infrastructure environments
- Automate network provisioning, configuration management, and operational workflows; build tooling that enables infrastructure to scale at higher volume
- Operate & sustain multi-tenant network environments including technology refresh, scaling, and optimization - delivering simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions
- Troubleshoot & resolve complex cross-domain network events spanning physical layer through application connectivity; diagnose root cause and mitigate impact
- Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software engineering teams to define requirements and ensure smooth rollout of new designs and products
- Lead projects in network deployment, sustaining engineering, and infrastructure scaling
- Maintain standards for change management, documentation (SOPs, implementation guides, knowledge transfer), and configuration control; ensure compliance across the networking toolset
Basic qualifications
- 4+ years of major internet routing protocols experience
