These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.\nTeam Description:\nNeuralink's Information Technology team owns the corporate environment that every engineer, scientist, and clinician depends on to do their work. Within IT, the Network function is responsible for the connectivity underneath all of it: the campus and data center networks that link our research labs, assembly lines, offices, and compute clusters, and the firewalls, wireless, and zero-trust access that keep that traffic secure. When the network is down, research stops and the line stops, so we hold a high bar for reliability, observability, and configuration managed as code.\nJob Description and Responsibilities:\nNeuralink is looking for a hands-on Network Engineer to own the design, build, and operation of our campus and data center networks. You will be responsible for the switching, routing, wireless, firewall, and NAC infrastructure that connects our research labs, assembly lines, offices, and compute clusters, and for the fiber and structured cabling that ties them together. We manage network configuration as code wherever possible and expect you to work the same way. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment, responds aggressively to incidents, and has a passion for building reliable, scalable networks from the ground up. The job responsibilities will include:\nDesign, deploy, maintain, and monitor campus and data center network infrastructure including switching, routing, wireless, and NAC; respond aggressively to incidents to maintain uptime\nArchitect and operate high-speed data center fabrics supporting HPC and GPU clusters, including ECMP, low-latency switching, and east-west traffic design\nDeploy and manage firewalls, SD-WAN, and site-to-site connectivity; partner with the IT Security & Identity function on segmentation, 802.1x, and zero-trust network access\nOwn fiber and structured cabling design across buildings and data center spaces, including WDM, GPON, and fiber plant documentation\nAutomate network configuration, provisioning, and validation using Terraform, Ansible, and scripting (Python, Bash); treat network state as versioned, reviewable code\nOperate network observability: SNMP, sFlow, telemetry, and alerting in Prometheus and Grafana; drive capacity planning from the data\nPlan and coordinate maintenance windows, upgrades, and expansions; maintain 24/7 on-call readiness for network incidents\nEnsure network systems comply with HIPAA, PII handling requirements, and applicable cybersecurity standards (ISO, NIST)\nAuthor and maintain network topology diagrams, design documents, runbooks, and SOPs\nManage network hardware inventory, vendor relationships, and procurement for switches, routers, wireless, and optics\nRequired Qualifications:\nHands-on experience with enterprise switching, routing, and wireless platforms\nWorking knowledge of routing protocols and network technologies: BGP, OSPF, ECMP, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, SNMP, NTP, PTP, ARP, CDP, LLDP\nExperience with firewalls, SD-WAN, NAC, and enterprise network security technologies\nExperience designing or operating high-speed data center networks for compute or storage clusters\nFamiliarity with network monitoring and telemetry (Prometheus, Grafana, sFlow, or similar)\nExperience automating network configuration with Terraform, Ansible, or scripting\nBachelor's degree in a technical field OR equivalent practical experience\nPreferred Qualifications:\nFamiliarity with Wave Division Multiplexing, fiber optics, GPON, and FTTH\nExperience with eBPF-based observability or packet analysis tooling\nExposure to real-time systems and industrial telemetry networks\nExperience with mesh VPN and identity-aware, zero-trust network access\nExperience with centrally managed next-generation firewalls\nIndustry certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent data center certifications\nCompliance & Data Privacy:\nNeuralink handles sensitive patient health information and personally identifiable information (PII). All employees are expected to understand and comply with HIPAA regulations and Neuralink’s data privacy policies. This role may involve access to protected health information (PHI) and requires a demonstrated commitment to confidentiality, data security, and responsible handling of sensitive information.\nExpected Compensation:\nThe anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range.
