About the role

Senior Network Production Engineer to support the physical and logical implementation of Crusoe's global network, focusing on on-site and remote deployments for data centers and edge sites, automation, testing, and collaboration across Network Engineering, Data Center Operations, and Project Management.

Responsibilities

  • Network Deployment Execution: Execute on-site and remote network deployments for new data center and edge site builds, from rack-and-stack through final cutover.
  • Implementation Planning: Implement architecture designs into concrete deployment steps: cable maps, port assignments, device configs, and site-specific runbooks.
  • Automation Development: Write and maintain Python/Ansible automation and ZTP workflows to stage, configure, and validate batches of switches and routers without manual touch.
  • Acceptance Testing: Support burn-in and site acceptance testing (SAT) on new clusters, chase down failures, and help drive clean handoffs to Operations.
  • Fabric Configuration & Troubleshooting: Configure and troubleshoot Arista, Juniper, and NVIDIA/Mellanox gear in leaf-spine fabrics, including BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP issues at the link and fabric level.
  • Vendor & Physical Layer Coordination: Work directly with structured cabling vendors, remote hands, and data center providers on-site to resolve physical layer issues.
  • Physical/Link-Layer Diagnostics: Diagnose physical and link-layer problems using OTDRs, light meters, and packet captures.
  • Inventory & Capacity Tracking: Track hardware inventory and support turn-up of new backbone and edge interconnect capacity against deployment schedules.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Collaborate with other engineers on tricky sites or configs, and flag recurring issues to improve processes and automation.
  • On-Call Support: Participate in an on-call rotation, troubleshooting network incidents affecting production infrastructure.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in network engineering with a focus on large-scale data center deployments and infrastructure projects.
  • Strong knowledge of physical layer standards: structured cabling (SMF/MMF, MPO/MTP), optical transceivers (400G/800G), and data center power/cooling requirements.
  • Solid routing and switching knowledge: hands-on experience configuring Arista (EOS), Juniper (Junos), and NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in a leaf-spine architecture.
  • Protocol familiarity: working understanding of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP as they relate to large-scale fabric provisioning.
  • Automation-minded: proficiency in Python and Ansible for automating repetitive deployment tasks and validating configuration state.
  • Logistical skills: ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously across different time zones and physical locations.
  • Troubleshooting skills: ability to diagnose 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.
