Network Engineer

AMAX is an IT infrastructure and advanced computing solutions company serving enterprise and OEM customers with customized systems, from servers and workstations to rack solutions and HPC/GPU-accelerated infrastructure. Our work sits at the intersection of hardware, infrastructure, and advanced computing, helping customers deploy systems built for demanding technical environments.

In this role, you will help strengthen the network foundation behind a cloud-like infrastructure environment while working closely with teams responsible for infrastructure, security, and operations. This is an opportunity to contribute to a hands-on engineering function with meaningful ownership, supporting both the underlying platform and the operational needs that keep the datacenter running smoothly.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and operate the on-prem network infrastructure underpinning our cloud-like environment

Own VLAN design, routing, firewall policy, and load balancer configuration across the datacenter

Manage network segmentation and access control in support of security and compliance needs

Build and maintain configuration-as-code for network devices and infrastructure using Ansible (and Terraform/Terragrunt where applicable)

Collaborate closely with the infrastructure/DevSecOps engineer(s) on shared tooling, monitoring, and automation

Support and monitor network health using Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager

Troubleshoot network issues across routing, switching, firewalls, and load balancing

Provide general datacenter support for customers co-located in the HostMax datacenter — things like cabling, hardware swaps, rack/stack work, and basic troubleshooting

Participate in business-hours (M-F) on-call rotation for customer and network support

Participate in an SDLC/Scrum-based workflow, using Jira and Confluence for planning and documentation

Help define network standards, runbooks, and best practices as the team and topology grow

Take on increasing ownership of network architecture and scope as the team matures and responsibilities shift from the infra engineer(s) to this role

Solid working knowledge of networking fundamentals: VLANs, routing, firewalls, and load balancers

Hands-on experience with configuration-as-code for infrastructure using Ansible

Exposure to on-prem/datacenter network operations

Proficiency with Git and standard version control workflows

Willingness to do hands-on datacenter/hardware work (cabling, rack/stack, hardware troubleshooting) in addition to network engineering

Prior colocation/datacenter smart-hands experience

Nice to Have:

Experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and how networking applies within them

Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager (or equivalent monitoring stacks)

Familiarity with HashiCorp tooling (Vault, Boundary) as it relates to network access and secrets

Familiarity with Keycloak or other identity/access management platforms

Networking certifications (e.g., CCNA or equivalent) or formal networking coursework

Familiarity with Scrum, SDLC practices, and tools like Jira/Confluence (admin experience a plus)

Experience with Terraform/Terragrunt

Prior experience joining or building an infrastructure/network team from scratch

Competitive salary of 120000-150000 USD annually
