We are seeking a highly experienced Network Engineer V to support one of the most significant infrastructure initiatives in the technology industry:
Prometheus, Meta’s next‑generation AI supercluster project
. This role is ideal for a senior network engineer who has moved beyond hands‑on deployment work into program‑level leadership, technical oversight, and large‑scale infrastructure delivery.

As a Network Engineer V, you will help drive the successful deployment of large‑scale data center network infrastructure while coordinating across multiple engineering, operations, vendor, and construction teams. Rather than performing day‑to‑day installation activities, you’ll focus on removing roadblocks, driving accountability, improving operational processes, and ensuring critical milestones are achieved in a fast‑paced environment. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to what may become one of the largest AI computing environments in the world while working alongside industry‑leading engineers and infrastructure teams.

• Lead and oversee large‑scale network deployment initiatives within data center environments.
• Coordinate activities across multiple organizations to ensure successful execution of critical infrastructure projects.
• Drive program‑level accountability, identify risks, and proactively resolve blockers impacting deployment schedules.
• Analyze network capacity, availability, utilization, and performance to support growth and operational requirements.
• Review and approve network architectures, deployment plans, hardware configurations, and operational procedures.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams including network engineering, operations, construction, vendors, and leadership stakeholders.
• Identify process inefficiencies and implement practical improvements to increase reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Leverage automation, scripting, and orchestration tools to improve deployment consistency and operational efficiency.
• Support network maintenance, upgrades, troubleshooting efforts, and infrastructure expansion projects.
• Develop and maintain procedures, reporting mechanisms, and operational metrics related to network performance and reliability.
• Contribute to network security initiatives and best practices, including recommendations related to firewalls, audits, and automated monitoring solutions.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to deployment and engineering teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in networking, infrastructure engineering, or large‑scale network deployments.
• Experience designing and deploying enterprise and/or data center network environments.
• Strong understanding of routing, switching, network redundancy and resiliency, network troubleshooting methodologies, and data center operations.
• Demonstrated experience utilizing automation technologies, scripting, orchestration platforms, or infrastructure‑as‑code approaches.
• Proven ability to identify operational gaps and implement process improvements.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across multiple teams.
• Experience managing competing priorities in fast‑paced, high‑visibility environments.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross‑functional organizations.
• Willingness to work shift‑based schedules, including nights when required.

• Experience supporting large‑scale data center deployment programs.
• History with major technology organizations such as Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, or similar hyperscale environments.
• Prior leadership, program management, or deployment oversight experience.
