[Remote] Senior Network Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Giga is building AI data centers by combining equipment supply, engineering, construction, and real estate development capabilities. The Senior Network Engineer will own data center networking design, security, commissioning, and operations across multiple sites, including routing, switching, structured cabling, controls networking, colocation connectivity, and production support.

Responsibilities

• Own network architecture across the portfolio: core and distribution switching, routing, out-of-band management, addressing and DNS, firewalls, and remote access, plus the standards and reference designs that make each new site a deployment rather than a redesign
• Design the physical layer inside the facility: structured cabling, pathways and cable management, cabinet and cross-connect standards, and fiber and copper plant throughout the building
• Own network security at the sites: firewall policy and rule lifecycle, intrusion detection and prevention, segmentation and access control between zones, secure remote access for staff and vendors, and network logging into our monitoring stack
• Build the colocation side of the network: customer handoffs, cross-connect provisioning, and a repeatable process for turning up tenant connectivity without one-off engineering each time
• Partner with the controls and security teams on OT networking: segmentation between IT and OT, network zones for SCADA and BMS, and reliable device-to-server paths for controls traffic
• Write the specifications, drawings, and bills of material we hand to contractors and low-voltage vendors, and review their designs and submittals so we get what we specified. Own network commissioning at each site: point-to-point testing, fiber certification, labeling, as-built drawings, and turnover documentation
• Run the network in production: monitoring and alerting, capacity planning, change control, configuration and firmware management, backups, and root cause analysis after events
• Participate in an on-call rotation and act as the escalation point for network incidents at live sites
• Write and maintain the standards, runbooks, and documentation that let the next site and the next engineer repeat this work without starting over

Skills

• 8+ years designing and operating enterprise or data center networks, including at least one build you carried from design through commissioning into live operation
• Hands-on depth in routing and switching: BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VRFs, spanning tree, link aggregation, firewalls, and out-of-band management. We have not locked in a platform, so vendor-agnostic depth matters more than a specific badge
• Hands-on network security experience: firewall policy design and maintenance on a next-generation platform, intrusion detection and prevention, segmentation and least-privilege access between zones, secure remote access, and network logging and alerting
• Structured cabling fluency: fiber types and loss budgets, single-mode and multimode tradeoffs, pathway planning, TIA-942 or equivalent standards, and the ability to both specify and review a cabling design
• Ability to read and mark up construction drawings, riser diagrams, and floor plans, and to hold your own in a design review with general contractors and low-voltage subcontractors
• Experience operating a production network where downtime has real consequences: change control, monitoring, and troubleshooting live issues under pressure
• Experience setting network standards from scratch rather than inheriting them
• Willingness to travel to active sites regularly
• Bachelor's degree in electrical, computer, or network engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Time on the provider side at a colocation or wholesale data center operator
• Security depth beyond the network edge: 802.1X or network access control, SIEM integration, and network controls under SOC 2, NIST 800-53, or similar frameworks
• Experience with data center fabrics: VXLAN and EVPN, or comparable leaf-spine designs
• Network automation and scripting: Python, Ansible, or infrastructure-as-code for configuration management and audits
• OT network security experience: IT/OT segmentation, IEC 62443 or NIST 800-82, secure remote access
• CCNP, CCIE, JNCIE, or equivalent, and BICSI RCDD on the cabling and telecom side
• Experience with DCIM platforms and integrating network and infrastructure data into asset and capacity management
• Experience with power generation, behind-the-meter energy assets, or bitcoin mining infrastructure

Benefits

• Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Unlimited PTO
• Parental leave
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
• Commuter benefits, where applicable
• Opportunities to collaborate in person at periodic team and company on-sites
