Think Nx Tbps, and thousands of physical servers or more.\n\nYou’ve connected networks to Internet exchanges (IXs) and established private peerings.\n\nYou’ve mitigated DDoS attacks. Too many times.\n\nYou’re a pro with Arista and Dell gear. But you’ll find your way around any hardware.\n\nYou’re comfortable with BGP, ECMP, BFD, VRRP, VLANs, LACP, MLAG, VXLAN/EVPN, IPv6, DNS64/NAT64, CoPP, RPKI, OVN, WireGuard, GRE, QoS, MTU, conntrack, and Linux networking. You understand how packets flow through switches, routers, hypervisors, and virtual machines. And you can troubleshoot at every layer.\n\nYou’ve pulled off zero-downtime live migrations. And they were actually zero downtime.\n\nYou have a great sense of humor! You’d tell us a UDP joke, but we wouldn’t get it.\n\nYou have a sysadmin or engineering background and can keep pace with a team of talented engineers.\n\nYou’re AI-native. You’re constantly improving your Claude Code setup to work smarter.\n\nYou communicate clearly and confidently in English, both in writing and in conversation.\n\nYou hate meetings and work async-first. Slack, Notion, Loom, and e-mail for external communication.\n\nInfrastructure as code is your default. Not an afterthought.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nYou’ll design networks for our existing and new data center locations, across both software and hardware. You’ll help guide our hardware purchases, aiming for the best price-to-performance ratio. Anyone can pick a Juniper MX301 out of a catalog. But what will you do when you find out the lead time is a year and it costs a kidney?\n\nYou’ll work with Tier 1 transit providers, Internet exchanges, and other network operators to establish and optimize peering relationships.\n\nYou’ll monitor network stability, prevent and mitigate abuse, and optimize transit costs.\n\nYou’ll take part in hardware installations and deal with real-world issues.\n\nYou’ll be on-call for network-related issues. Don’t worry, we know a thing or two about incident management.\n\nWho you’ll work with\nJuraj, our CEO; Tomas, our CTO; and Veronika, our COO. All technical, all software engineers.\n\nOur distributed team of stellar software engineers optimizing our products for your network.\n\nOur data center team responsible for installing and debugging hardware. They move fast and get sh*t done. Picture an F1 pit crew. That’s what our data center installations often look like.\n\nGenerally speaking, we consider ourselves a professional sports team. Everyone aims to be the best in the world at what they do. From YC alumni to ex-Google and ex-Shopify colleagues, you’ll be in great company.\n\nWe hope to learn a lot from you, and we’re sure you’ll learn a lot from us, too.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3163,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Internet Services","Log Management & Analytics","Website Monitoring","Observability & APM"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T02:39:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":77,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.766,"p_room":1,"age_days":11,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["seen:11","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/better-stack-network-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/better-stack-network-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T00:45:20Z","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":1061,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1754514},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1754514"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbetter-stack-network-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%2Fbetter-stack-network-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%2Fbetter-stack-network-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/better-stack-network-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbetter-stack-network-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3127584}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"betterstack.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3127584},"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.
