Waabi, founded by AI visionary Raquel Urtasun, is the leader in Physical AI and is unlocking the next era of autonomous transportation with technology powering commercial autonomous trucks and robotaxis. The company is backed by world leaders in AI, automotive, logistics, and deep tech, with offices in Toronto, San Francisco, Dallas, and Pittsburgh.
As Senior Network Engineer, you will own the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of Waabi's multi-site network infrastructure across all locations, including switching, routing, wireless, and firewall systems. You will lead ISP and bandwidth planning to ensure redundant, appropriately sized throughput for all sites, and manage network incident response with root-cause analysis, on-call coverage, escalation paths, and documented runbooks to minimize resolution time.
Key responsibilities include auditing and hardening network configurations (loop protection, storm control, STP, MC-LAG peer health) across all sites; defining and enforcing network hardware and firmware standards to replace ad-hoc per-site configurations; and maintaining IP addressing, VLAN architecture, and workstation/server/security/guest segmentation. You will evaluate and manage zero-trust remote access tooling (Tailscale, Cloudflare, Zscaler, etc.) to meet security and monitoring requirements, support vehicle connectivity in partnership with Product Infrastructure and Fleet teams, and partner with Engineering to ensure reliable, fast developer-facing network paths.
Additional responsibilities include scaling the network to support high-performing on-premises compute and storage clusters, creating and maintaining network documentation, topology diagrams, and disaster-recovery/escalation runbooks.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Deep knowledge of OSI model
- Hands-on experience with enterprise switching, routing, and wireless platforms and lifecycle management
- Experience operating firewalls, VPNs, and WAN optimization for multi-site organizations
- Familiarity with mesh/overlay VPN and zero-trust tools
- Experience with IPAM and VLAN design across multiple sites
- Linux proficiency and Infrastructure-as-Code tooling experience (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Terraform)
- Experience with network monitoring, observability, and building on-call/incident-response processes
- Excellent communication skills, comfortable leading postmortems and documenting technical and non-technical findings
- Collaborative, resourceful mindset with willingness to own responsibilities across sites
- Interest in self-driving technology and scaling infrastructure
BONUS:
- Experience with in-vehicle/industrial/OT networking and field hardware support
