Job Description
Network Deployment Engineer deploying and validating data center network infrastructure at Fluidstack. Hands-on role requiring travel for onsite deployments and operational support.
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.
Requirements:
- You've done hands-on data center network engineering and understand modern fabrics (EVPN/VXLAN, BGP, CLOS), having configured production infrastructure.
- You thrive in the field, equally comfortable pulling cable, configuring switches, and troubleshooting the optical layer, and you execute with whatever tooling is available.
- You troubleshoot methodically across physical and logical layers: OTDR traces, insertion loss, BGP sessions, and connectivity through complex topologies.
- You communicate clearly across technical and non-technical teams, document well, and follow through.
- You learn fast and take ownership of ramping on new technology, and you'll travel 50 to 60% to onsite deployments.
- Bonus: AI fabric turn-up experience. Configuration management and automation tooling. Vendor certifications.
Benefits:
- Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
- Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
