We're looking for a Network Development Engineer to help build and maintain network infrastructure across data center and engineering environments. You'll contribute to architectures that support production systems, integration environments, and engineering labs — learning to deliver reliability and scalability while supporting teams in moving fast. You'll apply data center networking fundamentals — switching, routing, segmentation, and basic automation — across environments with varying requirements. You'll work alongside senior engineers to implement designs, troubleshoot issues, and build foundational automation that keeps infrastructure running smoothly.

You're eager to learn and build. You have solid networking fundamentals and are developing your skills in automation and infrastructure-as-code. You're comfortable configuring switches and routers, and you're building the instinct to ask "how do I automate this?" You're not afraid to dig into a packet capture or trace a connectivity issue end-to-end, and you understand that reliable infrastructure is what enables great engineering. Key job responsibilities Implement & configure network infrastructure — switching, routing, VLANs, and connectivity across data center and lab environments following established designs and standards Build and maintain network automation scripts and configuration templates under guidance from senior engineers; contribute to tooling that enables infrastructure to scale Support & sustain multi-tenant network environments including technology refresh, patching, and day-to-day operations — following established processes for simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions Troubleshoot & resolve network issues spanning physical layer through application connectivity; escalate complex cross-domain events while learning root-cause analysis techniques Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software engineering teams to understand requirements and support smooth rollout of new designs and products Contribute to network deployment projects, sustaining engineering tasks, and infrastructure scaling efforts under the direction of senior engineers Follow and maintain standards for change management, documentation (SOPs, implementation guides, knowledge transfer), and configuration control Basic Qualifications 1+ years of major internet routing protocols experience 1+ years of working in a Linux/Unix environment experience 1+ years of data center, critical environment, network deployment, or data center operations experience, or experience with Network Protocols: TCP/IP, Ethernet, L2/L3 technologies 1+ years of network engineering experience (design,
