Software Engineer Network Automation, Data Center Fabrics

Job summary

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer, Network Automation - Data Center Fabrics, you will help design and build systems for operating large-scale networks within our data centers. You will apply deep networking expertise to leaf-spine architecture, automation, testing, and production troubleshooting across…

• Design and evolve leaf-spine underlays, EVPN/VXLAN overlays, and tenant connectivity for multi-tenant AI infrastructure.
• Translate data-center fabric requirements and safety properties into clear APIs, data models, validation, and automation.
• Build reliable control-plane software that reconciles desired and observed network state.
• Design safe change workflows with validation, dry runs, atomic updates, observability, and failure recovery.
• Integrate with data-center switch operating systems and management APIs while maintaining vendor-neutral abstractions where practical.

What they're looking for

• Deep hands-on experience with Ethernet switching, IP routing, BGP-based leaf-spine fabrics, EVPN/VXLAN, and VRF-based multitenancy.
• Strong judgment around fabric underlay and overlay design, scale, convergence, isolation, and failure modes.
• Experience building or operating production network automation, including desired state, idempotency, concurrency, observability, and recovery.
• Strong software-engineering fundamentals in a general-purpose language. You can design, test, debug, and review production systems and are willing to become productive in Go.
• Experience with southbound network APIs and structured configuration, such as REST, gNMI/OpenConfig, or NETCONF.
