Crusoe is seeking a Senior Staff Network Automation Engineer to design and ship the automation frameworks, self-healing workflows, and observability platforms that allow our global network fleet to scale sublinearly with headcount.
Requirements
- 12+ years of network engineering experience with a demonstrated focus on production network automation, platform engineering, and infrastructure as code in hyperscale or internet-scale environments.
- Demonstrated Technical Leadership: Proven track record of designing and shipping network automation platforms used by a broader engineering organization, not scripts, but systems others build on.
- Production-Quality Software Engineering: Mastery of Python or Go at a platform level, testable, CI/CD-integrated, and production-owned.
- Model-Driven Automation Fluency: Deep hands-on experience with gNMI, OpenConfig, NETCONF, and YANG-modeled configuration and telemetry.
- Source of Truth Ownership: You have designed or owned a network source of truth platform (NetBox, Nautobot, or equivalent) end to end, including the data model, integrations, and CI/CD pipelines that consume it.
- Network Domain Depth: Strong hands-on expertise with Arista (EOS), Juniper (Junos), and NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in leaf-spine architectures. Solid knowledge of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP at DC fabric scale.
- Event-Driven and Self-Healing Systems: Track record of building auto-remediation and closed-loop automation that detects, correlates, and resolves faults without human intervention.
- Observability Expertise: Hands-on experience building streaming telemetry and observability platforms using gNMI collectors, Prometheus, Grafana, and equivalent tooling at fleet scale.
- Hyperscale Operational Context: Comfort operating at scale across 10K+ network devices and multi-region fabric fleets, where the blast radius of a bug is measured in racks, not ports.
