The client is looking for a talented Network Infrastructure Engineer with significant experience in infrastructure and network architecture design. You will be responsible for building and maintaining the robust physical and cloud infrastructure that powers their AI-driven platform. Your work will directly impact the efficiency, security, and performance of our systems at massive scale.
This role requires deep expertise across network architecture, physical deployment, cloud services, and automation (Infrastructure as Code).
  • Infrastructure Design and Implementation: Oversee the design, configuration, and deployment of networks, servers, network switches, firewalls, and applications. This includes deploying physical infrastructure at our data center.
  • System Configuration & Virtualization: Oversee the configuration of servers with virtualization and troubleshoot complex application issues across the stack.
  • Scalability & Security: Ensure all infrastructure solutions meet stringent business needs for high scalability and industry-leading security standards.
  • Network Management: Ensure correct configuration of all network components, including routers, switches, firewalls, and VPNs.
  • Maintenance and Support: Ensure regular maintenance of servers, networks, and other infrastructure components to guarantee maximum uptime and reliability.
  • Performance Monitoring: Monitor system performance and proactively implement solutions to enhance reliability, security, and scalability.
  • DevOps Integration: Collaborate closely with engineering teams to integrate DevOps best practices into the development and deployment lifecycle, promoting automation.

Requirements
  • Networking Expertise: Proven experience designing networks and maintaining physical infrastructure. Deep understanding of routers/switches and establishing reliable connectivity between servers.
  • Automation (IaC): Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or similar.
  • Cloud Experience: Experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, security, and automation capabilities.
  • Containerization: Proficiency in containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
  • Monitoring & Logging: Solid understanding of monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack.
  • Problem-Solving: Strong problem-solving skills with a clear focus on performance optimization and automation to achieve high output.
  • Work Style: A builder mentality: low ego, high output, and comfortable in a fast-moving, lean team environment.

Benefits
The client recognizes the critical nature of this role and offer a highly competitive total compensation package:
  • Compensation: Competitive Base Salary ($125K - $150K)
  • Incentives: Performance-based Tokens (as part of an equity package)
  • Benefits: Comprehensive competitive benefits package (details provided upon offer).
