Network Automation Engineer

Role Scope

Own network fleet health end to end. Define the realtime monitoring requirements, build the alerting lifecycle, and ship the dashboards that give every on-call engineer a true picture of network state across all sites.
Build active debugging tooling. Link diagnostics, remote command execution across the fleet, and repair visualization — the tools that turn a network fault from a mystery into a solvable problem, fast.
Turn repair into a pipeline, not a procedure. Build the automation that takes a network failure from detection through parts management and return to service. Ticket integration, repair lifecycle pipelines, transceiver and optics tracking — owned, not improvised.
Own network qualification and validation. Build the frameworks that gate new sites and hardware into production. You define what a healthy network looks like before it carries traffic.
Own end-to-end reliability, scalability, and operation of the network at-scale.

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
