Role Scope

• Carry the on-call pager for the network fleet and run repair end to end: diagnose the fault, execute the fix or drive the RMA, and return the link to service across DC fabric, edge, and host to network layers.
• Write Python and Go tooling that replaces manual diagnosis, including link tests, remote command execution across the fleet, and repair visualization that shows what's broken and why, so faults resolve in minutes, not hours.
• Automate the repair pipeline from fault detection through RMA initiation, ticket integration, transceiver and optics tracking, and return to service, so a failure at any site follows the same path without manual handoffs.
• Maintain the real-time monitoring and alerting that gives every on-call engineer a true picture of network health across all sites, and keep it accurate as new sites and hardware roll in.
• Validate new sites and hardware into production by running the qualification tests that confirm a network is healthy before it carries traffic.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've carried a pager for a production network and can walk into an outage, find the fault, fix it or drive the RMA, and write the postmortem without someone walking you through it.
• You've written Python or Go scripts that replaced a manual, repetitive network task, from link diagnostics to config pushes to fleet-wide command execution.
• You understand how a transceiver fault, a misconfigured route, and a power event each show up differently in the data, and you can tell them apart from the signals alone.
• You've worked hands-on with link diagnostics, optics, and network monitoring protocols such as gNMI, gRPC, NETCONF, and SONiC, and you're comfortable at the CLI on switches and routers across a fleet.
• You treat toil as a bug. If a repair step means SSHing into ten boxes by hand, you script it once and never do it by hand again.
• You reach real competence in an unfamiliar part of the stack fast, and you document what you learn so the next on-call engineer doesn't start from zero.
• Bonus: RMA and repair lifecycle automation. Large-scale datacenter fabric (BGP, ECMP, spine-leaf). Out-of-band network management. Fluency with AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor to move faster on scripts and tooling.
