Nscale is the GPU cloud engineered for AI. We provide cost-effective, high-performance infrastructure for AI start-ups and large enterprise customers. Nscale enables AI-focused companies to achieve superior results by reducing the complexity of AI development. Our GPU cloud bolsters technical capabilities and directly supports strategic business outcomes, including cost management, rapid innovation, and environmental responsibility.
We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you’ll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Network Engineer to build and bring up the networks behind Nscale’s GPU clusters across Europe. You’ll join our Deployment organisation, a build org that owns every step from hardware arrival on site through to customer acceptance.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You’ll take network designs into production: configuring and validating cluster fabrics, front-end networks, and WAN edge, troubleshooting issues during bring-up, and making sure every build is ready for customers. The role involves regular travel to our sites.
What You’ll be Doing
•
Deploy, configure, and validate high-performance Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics for large GPU clusters.
•
Bring up front-end, storage, and management networks and WAN edge connectivity for new sites and expansions.
•
Run network acceptance testing and performance validation ahead of customer handover.
•
Troubleshoot and resolve issues across routing, switching, optics, and cabling during build and early life.
•
Work with Network Architecture to refine reference designs, BOMs, and build standards based on what you learn in the field.
•
Build and improve automation for provisioning, configuration, and validation.
•
Partner with Technical Program Managers, Data Centre Operations, and vendors to keep builds on schedule.
•
Write clear runbooks and documentation so builds are repeatable across sites.

Why this role matters
The network is what turns thousands of GPUs into a single system. Your work decides how fast new clusters reach customers and how well they perform once they do.
