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.

• 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/Dev Sec Ops  engineer(s) on shared tooling, monitoring, and automation
• Support and monitor network health using Prometheus, Grafana, and Alert manager
• Troubleshoot network issues across routing, switching, firewalls, and load balancing
• Provide general datacenter support for customers co‑located in the Host Max 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 Alert manager (or equivalent monitoring stacks)
• Familiarity with Hashi Corp 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 USD annually
• Medical Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• 401(k)
• Flexible spending account
• Commuter benefits
• Disability insurance
