About The Position

This role is for one of our clients. Are you a Level 3 / Tier 3 network support engineer who also enjoys scripting or programming — and is curious about how data powers intelligent systems? Our client is building vertically integrated networking systems and leveraging the data they generate to power the next generation of autonomous infrastructure. They're looking for the engineers who keep existing infrastructure online and stable — the ones owning final escalations, dissecting packet captures, and running RCAs — combined with the scripting depth to automate the operations work around it. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of infrastructure, data pipelines, and machine learning, where your work will directly influence how intelligent systems understand and operate real-world networks.

Requirements

• Work today as a Level 3 / Tier 3 / Principal Support Engineer keeping existing enterprise infrastructure online and stable — on-call rotation, RCAs, final escalations, troubleshooting outages — Must Have
• Have hands-on experience with end-customer enterprise networks (switches, APs, firewalls in retail, healthcare, financial, manufacturing, university, hospitality, etc.) — Must Have
• Have scripting experience in service of operations (Python, Bash, Ansible, PowerShell) — for log redaction, compliance checks, monitoring automation, config audits, or pipeline tooling — Must Have
• Are comfortable interpreting logs, events, and time-series metrics

Nice To Haves

• Have experience automating workflows or working with data pipelines
• Are curious about how raw infrastructure data becomes machine learning input
• Are excited to contribute to the future of autonomous networking systems

Responsibilities

• Review real-world data from deployed networks (logs, configurations, telemetry, event streams)
• Label, classify, and analyze network behaviors, issues, and anomalies
• Write scripts/tools to process, clean, and transform network data
• Help define schemas and structure for large-scale data pipelines
• Collaborate closely with the client team to improve data quality and usability for ML systems
