## Job description

## About IP Fabric

Join a pioneering force in network automation!

At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond.

## About The Role

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to build AI-native features in IP Fabric. This is a hands-on product engineering role: you will take AI features from a defined scope through to production, working on top of a uniquely rich data set — a verified digital twin of enterprise networks.

You will be building systems that run in production and create real operational value for our customers. You will work within the AI architecture and roadmap direction set by our Staff AI Engineer and product team, and you will own the delivery of what you build.

What You’ll Do

- Build and ship AI features supporting IP Fabric's network assurance use cases, including change assurance, troubleshooting, compliance, and vulnerability detection
- Own the engineering delivery of assigned AI features, from implementation through testing to production deployment
- Work with MCP and agentic frameworks to build reliable, production-grade AI capabilities
- Contribute to shared AI infrastructure, patterns, and tooling used across the AI team
- Participate in design discussions and technical reviews; raise trade-offs and risks early
- Bring forward feature ideas and technical proposals for product and the Staff AI Engineer to evaluate
- Use code assist tools (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor) effectively in your daily work and share what works with your team
- Contribute to the AI Guild and share learnings within engineering

What This Role Does Not Own

- AI strategy and roadmap direction - owned by the Staff AI Engineer in partnership with product and engineering leadership
- Overall AI architecture decisions - you contribute to and influence these, and you work within them
- Research or experimentation without a path to production
- Company-wide code assist adoption programmes
- Owning the GTM relationship for AI features - you support it with technical input
- People management

## What You'll Need

- 3-5 years of experience as a software engineer
- Has built and shipped features end-to-end to production, not only prototypes or proofs of concept
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: you write clean, tested, production-ready code
- Practical experience with MCP or similar AI integration patterns
- Able to reason about trade-offs within a given design: latency, cost, reliability or availability
- Clear communicator, comfortable explaining your technical choices to engineers and to product
- Genuine, daily user of AI code assist tooling in your own development work

Bonus points if you have

- Experience in network-centric, data-heavy, or infrastructure products
- Recent hands-on AI engineering experience, especially building and shipping LLM-based or agentic features to production
- Familiarity with network concepts (routing, topology, compliance frameworks)
- Exposure to MLOps or production AI operations: monitoring, cost control, regression testing
- Interest in growing toward Staff-level scope over time

Growth path

This is a Level 3 role in the IP Fabric growth framework. The natural progression is toward Level 4 (Staff), where scope expands from department-level delivery to cross-functional ownership of AI direction. We expect strong performers in this role to move in that direction, and we will be explicit about what that requires.

## Benefits & Perks

- 25 days of holidays + 5 flexi-days.
- Pluxee Flexi Card (up to 16 000 CZK per year).
- Anniversary rewards.
- Collaboration with diverse, international teams.
- A pet-friendly office at IP Pavlova.
- Complementary and yummy snacks, coffee, brew and refreshments.
- Regular team and company events.

Join us to experience the unique culture of a founder-led startup, where from top to bottom everyone is hands-on and has a chance to make a tangible impact on influential enterprises worldwide. Being part of IP Fabric means being part of a flexible environment that prioritizes work-life balance and growth opportunities.

- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Pavel Bykov (CEO), Radek Drbala (Head of Finance & Operations), Petr Podrouzek (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Network Assurance, Network Automation, IT Infrastructure & Security
- **Target customers**: B2B; large-scale enterprise IT and network operations teams, managed service providers, and organizations with complex multi-vendor network environments
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “To make network assurance ubiquitous to create a stable, secure, agile, and resource-conscious digital future.”

## Products & Services
- **IP Fabric Network Digital Twin Platform**: A SaaS-like platform (deployed on-prem or in-cloud) that uses read-only SSH/API access to discover 100% of network devices, connections, and configurations. It creates an interactive, continuously validated digital twin of the entire network estate, uncovering risks, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps that other tools miss. Core use cases include:
    - **Network Automation Foundation**: Provides standardized, vendor-agnostic data to drive automation tools (Ansible, ServiceNow, etc.) and validates changes pre- and post-implementation.
    - **Regulatory Compliance Readiness**: Automates the generation of audit evidence for standards like PCI-DSS, SOC2, etc.
    - **De-risking Digital Transformation**: Validates network behavior during migrations, cloud onboarding, and major changes.
    - **Closed-Loop Automation**: Integrates with tools like Splunk, Grafana, NetBox, Nautobot, and more via an open API.

## Market Standing

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vendor-Neutral & 100% Coverage**: Unlike many network tools, IP Fabric discovers the entire multi-vendor, on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environment, not just a portion. It fills the 20-40% visibility gap that other monitoring tools miss.
- **Digital Twin & Validation**: Provides a live, interactive model of the network state and behavior, enabling pre- and post-change validation that prevents outages and configuration drift.
- **No SNMP, No Agent**: Uses read-only CLI/API access, making it secure and easy to deploy without impacting network performance.
- **API-First & Extensible**: Open API and pre-built integrations allow it to slot into existing workflows, acting as the “source of truth” for automation, compliance, and security tools.
- **Pricing Model**: Licensed per active device (not per seat), incentivizing broad deployment without seat-license friction.

- **Engineering Culture**: Emphasis on “self-driving networks” and building the future of network automation. Engineers work with cutting-edge tech (network models, APIs, automation stacks) on a platform that is fundamental to enterprise IT stability.
- **Global Team**: A diverse team across 11 countries, with a flat-ish structure and a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
- **Growth Trajectory**: A well-funded Series B company with strong revenue growth and a clear mission. Employees have the chance to grow with the company as it scales.
