## Description

As a Staff Network Engineer at vCluster Labs, you aren't just configuring switches; you are building the automation logic that configures them. AI Clouds run on InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet fabrics that most teams still wire up by hand, one customer at a time. You will build the automation that turns that fabric into repeatable provisioning logic. You start in a small R&D group alongside our CTO and grow into owning this area as it becomes a core part of our platform.

As a Staff Network Engineer, your role will include:

 - Fabric automation: You will design and build the systems that automatically provision and configure NVIDIA switches and InfiniBand fabrics, including integration with NVIDIA UFM. Manual, per-customer switch setup is the thing you are replacing.

 - Network config management and sync: You will build the control loop that keeps switch, VLAN, and VXLAN state consistent with what our platform intends, detects drift, and reconciles it safely in production.

 - NAT gateway and L4 load balancing: You will build the gateway and load balancing layer that tenant clusters depend on for connectivity, with failover designed in from day one rather than bolted on later.

 - Scale and failure engineering: You will define how our network layer behaves at large scale: BGP route table limits, convergence, failover, and what happens when a link, switch, or gateway dies under real AI workloads.

 - Customer Zero for AI networking: You will run your automation on real AI Cloud environments, bring back what breaks, and turn hard-won operational lessons into product beha
