Manage and grow a team of network engineers responsible for datacenter fabrics, interconnects, and global WAN connectivity. Provide mentorship, technical guidance, and clear ownership boundaries.
Define and evolve network designs for GPU-heavy clusters, including spine-leaf topologies, ECMP routing, and high-bandwidth east-west traffic patterns.
Oversee design and operation of InfiniBand and RoCE-based fabrics supporting distributed training and inference workloads. Ensure performance, loss characteristics, and congestion control meet AI workload requirements.
Guide implementation and operations of encapsulation technologies such as VXLAN, EVPN, Geneve, or similar, enabling scalable multi-tenant isolation and flexible network provisioning.
Lead strategy and execution for global WAN connectivity, including private backbone links, IX connectivity, and hybrid connectivity with cloud providers and partners.
Establish operational best practices for monitoring, capacity planning, change management, incident response, and post-mortems across the network stack.
Partner closely with Infrastructure, SRE, Hardware, and Product Engineering teams to ensure network capabilities align with platform and customer requirements.
Work with hardware vendors, colocation providers, and transit partners on network design, procurement, deployment timelines, and escalations.
Ensure network designs support secure isolation, DDoS resilience, and compliance requirements without compromising performance.

Requirements

3+ years managing network or infrastructure engineering teams, with experience scaling teams and systems in production environments.
8+ years designing and operating large-scale datacenter networks, including spine-leaf architectures, BGP-based routing, and high-throughput fabrics.
Strong hands-on experience with VXLAN/EVPN or equivalent encapsulation protocols, including control-plane and data-plane considerations.
Proven experience with InfiniBand and/or RoCE, including congestion management, lossless Ethernet concepts, and performance tuning for GPU workloads.
Deep familiarity with global WAN technologies, including private backbone design, inter-region connectivity, routing policy, and traffic engineering.
Comfortable working with Linux-based systems, network operating systems, and automation tooling.
Strong background in network observability, incident management, capacity forecasting, and change control.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders and lead teams through complex technical challenges.
Successful completion of a background check.
