• Design & develop cutting‑edge solutions in collaboration with external providers, VAR, and internal teams.
• Architect AI‑optimized low‑latency, high‑throughput network fabrics (scale‑out, scale‑up, converged) to support GPU traffic patterns for training and distributed inference.
• Design fabric topology and architecture (RAIL, Clos‑based leaf‑spine, 100G/400G/800G) across various networking platforms.
• Integrate control plane and protocols (BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, multitenant routing) for both internal cluster traffic and external ingress/egress to the internet and cloud.
• Define and drive networking strategy aligned with business growth, automation goals, and AI infrastructure scalability.
• Develop network automation workflows using Ansible, Terraform, and Python to automate provisioning, configuration, and monitoring.
• Implement telemetry pipelines and traffic analytics for proactive visibility, capacity planning, and SLA adherence.
• Develop high‑level and low‑level network design documentation, playbooks, and operational standards.
• Evaluate emerging technologies from NVIDIA, AMD, hyperscalers, and connectivity providers to influence roadmap decisions.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with platform, hardware, facilities, and security teams to deliver integrated network solutions for AI/ML workloads.

• 15–20 years of experience in network engineering or architecture roles, including large‑scale data center or AI infrastructure environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Strong business acumen to balance performance, cost, and scalability in architecture decisions.
• Customer‑focused mindset with experience designing solutions that meet unique customer needs.
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills, capable of managing relationships and negotiating with high‑level executives.
• Hands‑on experience with open‑networking switching platforms and SONiC.
• Proven track record designing data center fabrics using BGP, OSPF, EVPN‑VXLAN, and overlay networks.
• Expertise with Infini Band, RoCEv2, and RDMA‑based networking in GPU environments.
• Proficient in network automation using Ansible, Terraform, Python, and Git‑based workflows.
• Ability to define business‑aligned network strategy roadmaps for scalable AI infrastructure.
• Experience leading HLD/LLD design efforts and technical documentation.
• Strong understanding of telemetry, observability, and proactive network health management.
