Senior Network Engineer

Alembic is the pioneering Causal AI platform. We help the world's largest enterprises move past correlation to prove what actually drives business outcomes — the question marketing and growth teams have never been able to answer with confidence. Fortune 100 companies including Nvidia, Delta Air Lines, and Mars use Alembic to make multimillion-dollar decisions on trusted, causal evidence.

We're backed by a $145M Series B from WndrCo (founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg), Jensen Huang, Joe Montana, Prysm Capital, and Accenture. Our models run on our own NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD built on Grace Blackwell infrastructure — one of the fastest private supercomputers in the world. (We've melted GPUs getting here.)

We’re building infrastructure that has to perform under real-world scale, reliability, and security demands–and we’re looking for an engineer who wants to own the foundation it runs on.

This isn’t a traditional “keep the lights on” infrastructure role.

You’ll design and operate the global network and reliability layer powering distributed compute, ML workloads, real-time analytics systems, and mission-critical enterprise infrastructure. You’ll work across networking, systems, automation, observability, and reliability engineering to help scale a platform where performance actually matters.

If you like solving deep infrastructure problems, building resilient systems, automating everything repetitive, and having meaningful influence over architecture decisions — you’ll probably enjoy this role.
