Data Center Network Engineer, Ethernet Fabrics
You design and build the Ethernet networks around GPU clusters: the front-end network that users and services reach, the storage network and the out-of-band management network. You build leaf-spine fabrics with BGP EVPN, keep every configuration in code and test each fabric before handover.
Duties
- Design leaf-spine Ethernet fabrics for front-end and storage traffic, sized to the GPU systems and storage nodes they connect.
- Configure BGP EVPN with VXLAN for routing and tenant separation across each fabric.
- Build the out-of-band management network that reaches every server's BMC, every switch and every PDU.
- Keep switch configurations in version control, and generate and deploy them with automation.
- Install and bring up switches on site with the data center technicians and cabling technicians.
- Test each fabric before handover, covering link state, routing, failover and throughput between racks.
- Plan the connection to the client's own network with their network team, including addressing and routing at the handoff.
- Document the topology, addressing and cabling so the next engineer can work from it.
What you bring
- 3+ years building data center networks.
- Solid BGP, including EVPN and VXLAN.
- Hands-on work with leaf-spine designs and data center switches.
- Network automation in Python or Ansible.
- Linux networking basics.
Nice to have
- A data center network certification such as CCNP Data Center or JNCIP-DC.
- SONiC, Cumulus Linux or Arista EOS.
- RoCE or other lossless Ethernet setups.
- Optics and transceivers for 400G and 800G links.
