Partner with Platform Engineering, Orchestration, Compute, and GPU/AI teams to integrate networking behavior into provisioning workflows and cluster operations
Define the model and schema for new network constructs (e.g., VPC features, routing modes, Gateway/NAT capabilities, private connectivity, cross-region constructs)
Ensure quality and consistency across network software — testing, validation, rollbacks, canaries, structured CI/CD, reproducibility, auditability
Work with Architecture to align feature design with long-term fabric strategy (EVPN, VTEP lifecycle, multi-tenant segmentation, QoS, RDMA coexistence)
Coordinate with NetDevOps to build operational tooling, validate configurations, improve telemetry, and close automation gaps
