Responsibilities
Design and maintain scalable network architectures for edge, modular, and distributed data center environments
Define standards for routing, switching, firewalling, segmentation, and redundancy
Design and operate modern data center network fabrics, including: VXLAN / EVPN-based overlay networks, Underlay routing protocols (e.g., BGP, IS-IS, OSPF), Spine–leaf architectures and high-availability designs
Define overlay / underlay separation, IP addressing strategies, and multi-tenant segmentation models
Design and support GPU and high-performance compute (HPC) network architectures, including: High-bandwidth, low-latency fabrics for GPU clusters, East–west traffic optimization for distributed compute workloads
Define network designs to support AI/ML, inference, and GPU-accelerated workloads, accounting for throughput, latency, jitter, and congestion characteristics
Collaborate with compute and platform teams to align GPU topology, network fabric design, and workload placement
Own network design documentation including HLDs, LLDs, diagrams, and IP plans
Evaluate new technologies and vendors to support edge, remote, data center, and GPU-enabled deployments
Implement and support advanced L3 network services, including routing, firewall policies, VPNs, VXLAN/EVPN fabrics, and GPU-supporting network designs
Lead complex troubleshooting involving: Overlay/underlay interaction issues, Control-plane instability, Data-plane forwarding anomalies, Latency, packet loss, congestion, and convergence issues
Implement and troubleshoot networks supporting GPU clusters and accelerated workloads, including: High-throughput spine–leaf fabrics, East–west traffic patterns and microburst behavior
Diagnose and resolve network performance issues impacting GPU workloads, including congestion, packet loss, and latency sensitivity
Serve as the final escalation point for the NOC and infrastructure teams
Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and drive permanent corrective actions for recurring or systemic issues
Define and enforce engineering standards for production network changes
Design and support hybrid connectivity models including ISP, LTE/5G, satellite, and private links
Ensure reliable and secure connectivity for remote, industrial, and mission-critical edge sites
Optimize network performance for latency-sensitive, bandwidth-constrained, and intermittently connected environments
Design and enforce network segmentation across IT, OT, management, and customer-facing domains
Implement and maintain firewall policies, VPNs, and secure remote access solutions
Partner with security teams to align network architectures with security, compliance, and regulatory requirements
Develop and maintain automation for network provisioning, validation, and configuration consistency
Improve monitoring, alerting, and observability in partnership with the NOC
Drive reliability improvements, fault isolation, and MTTR reduction through design, automation, and standards
Mentor NOC technicians and junior network engineers
Partner with product, infrastructure, platform, and field teams during deployments and lifecycle planning
Provide technical leadership during major incidents, change reviews, and post-incident analysis
Contribute to long-term network strategy and roadmap planning
