TL;DR
Own network fleet health end to end, build active debugging tooling, and turn repair into a pipeline, not a procedure.
- •The Software Engineer, Networking will own network fleet health end to end, build active debugging tooling, and turn repair into a pipeline, not a procedure.
- •Key Responsibilities Define the realtime monitoring requirements, build the alerting lifecycle, and ship the dashboards that give every on-call engineer a true picture of network state across all sites.
- •Link diagnostics, remote command execution across the fleet, and repair visualization
