Senior Network Engineer — Datacenter & HPC Fabrics (Equity)

Maven Ventures; Palo Alto (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 330,000; Full time

Job summary

SpaceXSI in Palo Alto is seeking a Sr. Network Engineer to design, deploy, and operate production datacenter and campus/core networks at scale.

You will own routing and switching standards (BGP and IGP), qualify new platforms, and drive architecture decisions to support our growing compute infrastructure. You will participate in an on-call rotation, travel to build sites as needed, and collaborate with compute, facilities, and software teams to ensure high availability of Ethernet AI/HPC

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience designing and/or operating production networks in a datacenter, ISP, cloud, or large enterprise environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and operate production datacenter and campus/core networks at scale.
• Own routing and switching configuration standards (BGP and at least one IGP such as OSPF or IS-IS), including change design, peer reviews, and execution.
• Qualify new network platforms, optics, and topologies; contribute to architecture and capacity planning.
• Build and improve monitoring, alerting, and operational documentation so issues are caught and fixed quickly.
• Troubleshoot Layer 2/Layer 3 incidents end to end — from link flaps and optics through routing and traffic engineering — and drive root cause and lasting fixes.
• Automate repetitive network tasks with Python, Ansible, or similar tooling where it reduces toil.
• Partner with compute, facilities, and software teams during cluster build-outs and maintenance windows.
• Support high-performance / supercompute network environments (Ethernet AI/HPC fabrics, RoCE/RDMA-capable designs) as part of the broader network estate
