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.
Key Responsibilities
- 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
Qualifications & Requirements
- 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 protocol that enables a global fiber network for high-performance data distribution. Powered by independent fiber contributors and coordinated onchain, DoubleZero delivers low-latency networking and real-time data infrastructure for blockchains, prediction markets and other distributed systems where milliseconds matter.

About DoubleZero
DoubleZero, founded in 2024 by Austin Federa, former Solana Foundation strategy lead, with a team of network engineers in the United States, builds a high-performance fiber network purpose-built for distributed systems and blockchains. Its protocol coordinates dedicated and contributed fiber links into a permissionless mesh that improves block propagation, reduces latency and increases resilience for validators and RPC operators. Initially focused on Solana, DoubleZero targets infrastructure that makes consensus more democratic by lowering bandwidth constraints for geographically distributed participants. Headquartered with a distributed team across North America, the project combines telecom partnerships with crypto incentive design. Still early-stage, it operates testnet deployments and ecosystem pilots. Expect an infrastructure-focused culture that values network engineering depth, carrier operations and building physical rails for open, performant blockchains.
