Staff Software Engineer, Network Automation

What You'll Be Working On

Network Automation Platform

• Contribute to the technical roadmap for Crusoe's automation stack, from source of truth and config generation through day-2 operations and closed-loop remediation across our global fleet

Source of Truth

• Help design and maintain the authoritative data model (NetBox, Nautobot, or equivalent) that drives network configuration, validation, and operational state across teams

Intent-Based Configuration Pipelines

• Build and maintain declarative, model-driven configuration systems using Python, Nornir, Ansible, and Jinja2, treating the network as code and eliminating configuration drift

Model-Driven Automation

• Contribute to Crusoe's gNMI, OpenConfig, and NETCONF/YANG strategy for telemetry collection, configuration management, and state validation across multi-vendor fabrics

Self-Healing Workflows

• Build and maintain event-driven auto-remediation systems that detect faults, correlate telemetry, and resolve known failure modes without human escalation

Observability Platform

• Help build and improve Crusoe's telemetry, metrics, alerting, and dashboarding stack including Prometheus, Grafana, and streaming gNMI collectors

Architecture Partnership

• Work closely with Network Architecture to ensure designs are automation-first — deployable, validatable, and operable programmatically at scale

What You'll Bring to the Team

• 8+ years of network engineering experience with a demonstrated focus on production network automation and infrastructure as code
• Production-quality software engineering skills in Python or Go, with CI/CD integration and platform-level thinking
• Hands-on experience with model-driven automation including gNMI, OpenConfig, NETCONF, and YANG
• Experience contributing to or owning a network source of truth platform such as NetBox or Nautobot
• Strong knowledge of Arista (EOS) and/or Juniper (Junos) in leaf-spine DC fabric environments
• Solid understanding of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and LLDP at data center scale
• Experience building or contributing to observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, and streaming telemetry tooling

Bonus Points

• Experience with NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms in production environments
• Familiarity operating at fleet scale across thousands of network devices in multi-region environments
• Exposure to closed-loop, event-driven automation and auto-remediation systems
• Experience in hyperscale or internet-scale infrastructure (cloud providers, large CDNs, or AI/ML infrastructure companies)
