About the role

Crusoe Cloud is seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Staff Network Production Engineer to lead the physical and logical implementation of our global network, spanning data centers and edge sites as part of expanding HPC and GPU-based AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Execute Global Build-outs: Lead the end-to-end deployment of network infrastructure in new and existing data centers, from initial rack/stack oversight to final hand-off.
  • Bridge Design and Reality: Take high-level designs from the Network Development team and translate them into site-specific implementation plans, cable maps, and configuration templates.
  • Validate and Commission: Perform rigorous "Burn-in" testing and site acceptance testing (SAT) for new network clusters, ensuring zero-defect handovers to the Operations team.
  • Optimize Deployment Automation: Use Python, Ansible, and ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) to automate the staging and configuration of hundreds of network devices simultaneously.
  • Manage On-site Partners: Coordinate with remote hands, structured cabling vendors, and data center providers to ensure physical layer standards (fiber paths, power requirements, and cooling) meet Crusoe’s stringent HPC requirements.
  • Inventory and Capacity Management: Track global hardware assets and lead the "Turn-up" of new backbone capacity and edge interconnects.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in network engineering with a heavy focus on large-scale data center deployments and infrastructure projects.
  • Mastery of Physical Layer Standards: Expert knowledge of structured cabling (SMF/MMF, MPO/MTP), optical transceivers (400G/800G), and data center power/cooling requirements.
  • Strong Routing and Switching Knowledge: Hands-on experience configuring Arista (EOS), Juniper (Junos), and NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in a leaf-spine architecture.
  • Protocol Proficiency: Solid understanding of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP as they relate to large-scale fabric provisioning.
  • Automation-First Mindset: Proficiency in Python and Ansible for automating repetitive deployment tasks and validating configuration state.
  • Logistical Excellence: Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously across different time zones and physical locations.
  • Troubleshooting Expertise: Ability to diagnose complex physical layer and link-layer issues using OTDRs, light meters, and packet captures.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience in hyperscale or ISP environments.
