Role overview Meter Inc. is developing tools to capture and preserve the expertise of network engineers. The team’s goal is to build systems that document how experts diagnose network issues, making it possible for future models to manage networks with less manual effort. This work will help Meter support many customer networks while reducing the need for direct engineer intervention. What makes this work unique Network engineering lacks the structured archives found in software development. While Git and GitHub record software decisions, the reasoning behind network troubleshooting often disappears once a problem is fixed. This role centers on building a structured, searchable system for network operations, a kind of GitHub for network engineering. The system will capture network state, expert observations, and the logic behind key decisions. Your first 90 days First 30 days: Meet with network engineers to learn their workflows. Study what effective diagnostic documentation looks like and identify the necessary data. Review telemetry (ClickHouse), configurations (Postgres), and support history (Salesforce). By 60 days: Deliver a working annotation interface. Network engineers should be able to review past support tickets, view the network’s state during incidents, and record their reasoning. The tool should be practical and encourage regular use. By 90 days: Network engineers will be able to create training data independently. Initial model benchmarks from your pipeline will be live, showing how your work improves the process.
