About the role
Beam is seeking a hands-on Network Engineer to stand up and operate GPU-focused data center networking infrastructure across multiple sites, including New York, San Francisco, and remote US locations.
Responsibilities
- Deploy and validate data center network infrastructure (front-end, back-end, BMS, management): configure switches, install and validate optics, coordinate cabling, and drive deployments to completion.
- Ensure physical connectivity meets production standards: coordinate fiber remediation, validate insertion loss and OTDR traces, troubleshoot optical-layer issues, and document as-builts.
- Manage hardware logistics: device staging, rack/stack coordination, RMA, DCIM updates, inventory, and vendor shipments so devices are ready when deployments need them.
- Partner with DC Operations, ICT, Hardware, and Network Engineering to identify blockers early, escalate decisively, and keep multi-team efforts on track.
- Maintain cutsheets, as-builts, validation results, and lessons learned, and contribute to the deployment playbook that lets the team scale.
- Provide operational support during and after deployments: incident response, troubleshooting, and break-fix.
Qualifications
- Hands-on data center network engineering and understanding of modern fabrics (EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, CLOS), having configured production infrastructure.
- Thrive in the field, equally comfortable pulling cable, configuring switches, and troubleshooting the optical layer, and you execute with whatever tooling is available.
- Troubleshoot methodically across physical and logical layers: OTDR traces, insertion loss, BGP sessions, and connectivity through complex topologies.
- Clear communication across technical and non-technical teams, documentation, and follow-through.
- Fast learner with ownership of ramping on new technology; willingness to travel 50-60% to onsite deployments.
- Bonus: AI fabric turn-up experience. Configuration management and automation tooling. Vendor certifications.
