A role where network infrastructure depth and GenAI/ML actually overlap — either DS/ML with infrastructure context, or a senior NE role with a real automation and AI mandate. Remote, $150K+, collaborative team.

@williamnetterville
Senior Network Engineer and data scientist building AI-powered network operations. 30 years of infrastructure, currently targeting DS/GenAI roles.
What I'm looking for
I'm a senior network engineer with 30 years of hands-on infrastructure experience who crossed into data science and GenAI. My work at Mimic applied LLMs and machine learning to network behavioral data for anomaly detection and operational intelligence — production systems, not side projects.
I've built end-to-end GenAI pipelines using Vertex AI and the Anthropic API, with knowledge graph retrieval and agentic architectures. On the network side I have deep experience with BGP, OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN, SD-WAN, and large-scale DC design across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and Extreme platforms.
I'm looking for roles where those two worlds actually connect — DS/GenAI positions with infrastructure context, or network engineering roles with a real AI/automation mandate.
