Job description

• Location - India (Remote)
• Build WarpBuild's datacenter network from empty racks to production traffic. Run it and grow it to new sites.
• WarpBuild runs fast CI runners for GitHub Actions. We are building our own bare-metal infrastructure in colocation datacenters. We are a small team, and every engineer owns a large part of the product.
• You will be our first network engineer. This is a hands-on role with full ownership of design, deployment, automation and operations. You will work directly with the founders and the platform engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy and operate leaf-spine datacenter networks, including the edge and the out-of-band network.
• Run the internet edge: BGP with transit providers and peers, routing security, and DDoS protection.
• Lead new site turn-ups from planning to handover: cabling plans, device staging, validation and acceptance testing.
• Manage network configuration as code, with a source of truth, templates, automated checks and zero-touch provisioning.
• Direct remote hands, cabling vendors, carriers and hardware vendors. Our sites have no on-site staff.
• Build monitoring and alerting for the network. Use the data for capacity planning.
• Work with platform engineers on Linux host networking for our virtualization stack.
• Write the designs, procedures and runbooks that the rest of the team relies on.
• Take part in the on-call rotation.

Requirements

• 7+ years in network engineering, mostly on production datacenter, cloud or service provider networks.
• Experience building a datacenter or PoP network from the ground up at least once.
• Strong knowledge of BGP, ECMP, leaf-spine fabrics, link aggregation and fast convergence.
• Experience running an internet edge: transit and peering turn-ups, IRR and RPKI, and traffic engineering.
• Production experience with at least one major switching platform, such as Arista, Juniper, Cisco or SONiC.
• Strong automation skills with Python and Ansible or similar tools. Config lives in Git.
• Good knowledge of the physical layer: optics, DAC and fiber cabling, structured cabling and cross-connects.
• Comfort on the Linux command line and a working understanding of the Linux network stack.
• Clear written English. A technician who has never seen the site can follow your procedure.
• Experience at a cloud provider, CDN, carrier or internet exchange.
• NetBox or another network source of truth.
• Streaming telemetry and flow monitoring, such as gNMI and sFlow.
• KVM and virtual machine networking, NAT at scale, nftables.
