Network Engineer

We’re looking for a network engineer with a true CCIE-level routing & switching background who is equally comfortable writing production code. This is not a traditional NOC role — it’s for someone who treats networks as software systems.

What you’ll do

• Design and operate large-scale, high-availability, low-latency networks

• Work on BGP, EVPN, MPLS, segment routing, and carrier-grade routing architectures

• Build automation frameworks in Go and Python to manage network config, deployment, and monitoring

• Partner with hardware, protocol, and systems engineers to optimize for latency, reliability, and scale

• Debug real-world production network failures across physical and virtual layers

What we’re looking for

• CCIE or equivalent hands-on routing & switching expertise

• Strong experience in ISP / carrier / backbone network environments

• Solid production Go + Python experience (not just scripts)

• Deep understanding of routing protocols, convergence, and network failure modes

• Experience treating infrastructure as code and systems as software

• Preference for telecom / ISP / infrastructure backgrounds over HFT

ABOUT DOUBLEZERO

DoubleZero is a high-performance, permissionless global network purpose-built for distributed systems. The mission is simple: increase bandwidth and reduce latency.

DoubleZero increases bandwidth by filtering junk data that currently plagues validators and other network operators. DoubleZero reduces latency by connecting these filters with underutilized private fiber links in the form of a mesh network. By combining these improvements and routing the right data through optimized, low-latency paths, the DoubleZero protocol empowers blockchains and other systems to reach performance levels that were previously impossible.

In short, DoubleZero is a new Internet for distributed systems. It is supported by two organizations: DoubleZero Foundation, which drives the adoption, decentralization, security, and advancement of the protocol; and Malbec Labs, which develops the technical components of the protocol itself. We look forward to hearing from you.
