Description

  • Lead commissioning and production readiness of AI cluster network fabrics, from switch initialization through host connectivity validation.
  • Configure and integrate high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics, including RDMA/RoCE, storage, management, and out-of-band networks.
  • Validate network topology, routing, redundancy, addressing, port mappings, optics, cabling, and switch/NIC interoperability.
  • Develop network automation, configuration-management practices, firmware and OS baselines, and repeatable deployment procedures.
  • Execute fabric qualification and acceptance testing for link health, bandwidth, latency, congestion, resilience, and scaling behavior.
  • Tune RDMA transport, congestion control, QoS, PFC/ECN, routing, and switch/NIC settings to improve fabric performance.
  • Analyze NCCL and distributed-workload results with compute engineers to resolve multi-node communication bottlenecks.
  • Serve as a Tier 3 escalation point for production incidents, leading root-cause analysis and vendor escalations.
  • Support network upgrades, expansions, failover testing, controlled changes, and post-maintenance validation.
  • Create diagnostic automation, monitoring standards, runbooks, operational handoffs, and technical reporting for internal teams and stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, networking, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of hands-on data center or high-performance networking experience, including deep troubleshooting and technical leadership.
  • Experience deploying and operating large-scale, low-latency networks for AI, HPC, cloud, or comparable distributed systems.
  • Deep expertise in Ethernet and/or InfiniBand fabrics, RDMA/RoCE, routing and switching, and multi-tier data center network architectures.
  • Experience with 200/400/800G networking, NICs, optical interconnects, performance testing, and network telemetry.
  • Proficiency with Linux networking and automation using Python, Ansible, or equivalent tools.
  • Familiarity with NVIDIA networking and fabric-management tools is highly desirable.
  • Expert problem-solving ability across physical, link, transport, and application-facing network performance layers.
  • Ability to independently make technical decisions and collaborate with compute, storage, systems, site, vendor, and customer teams.
  • Availability for data-center travel, critical incidents, and maintenance activities outside regular business hours; hybrid or remote work based on location.

Benefits

  • Hybrid or remote work arrangement, depending on location.
  • Opportunity to define technical standards and directly influence the reliability and performance of large-scale AI clusters.
  • Collaboration with experienced infrastructure engineers and cross-functional technology, energy, and infrastructure professionals.
  • Opportunity to propose new products, services, and initiatives to senior leadership.
  • Professional networking and learning opportunities across technology, energy, and infrastructure.
