Network Engineer, AI Infrastructure Repair

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Sarpy County, NE +2

This role focuses on the reliability and repair of the network infrastructure that supports Meta's large-scale AI training and inference clusters. The Network Engineer will lead strategy and execution for AI network repair programs, driving initiatives in fault diagnosis, automated remediation, and workflow optimization. The role involves partnering with hardware, software, and operations teams to ensure the network remains operational and resilient, and influencing future network architecture based on repair insights. Experience with high-speed network fabrics, AI-driven analytics for workflow optimization, and ethical AI practices is required.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define and drive the long-term strategy for AI network repair and remediation programs across large-scale data center environments supporting machine learning workloads
  2. Lead root cause analysis and resolution of complex network faults affecting high-performance AI training and inference fabrics, including RDMA, high-speed Ethernet, and optical interconnect layers
  3. Develop and champion novel approaches to network fault detection, automated remediation, and repair workflow optimization for AI cluster infrastructure
  4. Partner with hardware, software, and data center operations teams to align network repair programs with AI infrastructure deployment roadmaps and capacity plans
  5. Establish and refine operational frameworks, runbooks, and tooling for network repair at scale, reducing mean time to repair across AI fabric environments
