Skills
About the Role
You will own the architecture, scale, and operation of the network connecting the GPU fleet and supporting large-scale AI training and inference. You will set and drive the multi-year network-services strategy and roadmap across data center and cloud environments. You will lead and grow network software engineers and architects, prioritize competing demands, and clearly communicate decisions to engineering leadership and cross-functional partners. You will architect high-scale routing and segmentation across a distributed, multi-region footprint, optimize traffic for AI and distributed-compute workloads, and own end-to-end network uptime and performance. You will implement proactive monitoring, incident response, and root-cause analysis, and partner with security on segmentation, DDoS mitigation, and data-sovereignty and privacy requirements.
