Job Description

About the Company

We are a global hyperscale cloud and AI infrastructure provider powering mission-critical workloads for Fortune 100 enterprises, sovereign governments, financial institutions, and next-generation AI platforms. Our infrastructure supports exabyte-scale data flows, ultra-low latency compute clusters, and multi-region high-availability architectures across 60+ data centers worldwide.

As AI training clusters, real-time financial systems, and autonomous platforms demand near-zero downtime and deterministic network performance, our backbone architecture must operate at unprecedented scale, speed, and security.

We are seeking a Senior Network Engineer to design, optimize, and future-proof the high-performance global network fabric that supports next-generation AI workloads, advanced edge computing, and hyperscale cloud services.

This is not an operations-only role. This is a deep technical architecture and scale engineering position.

Job Function

The Senior Network Engineer will lead the design, implementation, automation, and optimization of multi-region, multi-terabit global network infrastructure supporting AI clusters, private cloud environments, and mission-critical enterprise services.

The role requires deep expertise in routing protocols, data center spine-leaf architectures, automation frameworks, network security segmentation, and high-availability design at a global scale.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Architect and deploy high-throughput spine-leaf data center network fabrics (100G/400G/800G environments)

• Design multi-region global backbone connectivity with ultra-low latency SLAs

• Lead BGP, OSPF, EVPN-VXLAN, and MPLS architecture and optimization initiatives

• Engineer deterministic network performance for AI/ML compute clusters

• Develop infrastructure-as-code network automation using Python, Ansible, Terraform

• Implement zero-trust segmentation and secure east-west traffic models

• Optimize traffic engineering and routing convergence strategies

• Lead network capacity planning and growth forecasting for multi-exabyte traffic environments

• Conduct failure-domain analysis and implement high-availability redundancy strategies

• Integrate DDoS mitigation and advanced network security frameworks

• Partner with Cloud Engineering, SRE, and Security teams on platform reliability

• Lead incident response for critical network events and root cause analysis

• Evaluate next-gen networking technologies (SRv6, 800G optics, programmable fabrics)

Strategic Support

• Contribute to long-term global infrastructure roadmap planning

• Support the expansion of AI hyperscale data centers across new geographic regions

• Provide architectural consultation for enterprise and sovereign cloud deployments

• Advise executive leadership on network risk mitigation and resilience strategy

• Support M&A integration of acquired network environments

• Participate in cross-functional innovation initiatives related to AI and edge computing

Job Qualifications and Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive experience in large-scale network engineering

• 5+ years in hyperscale cloud, global ISP, AI data center, or Tier 1 infrastructure environments

• Deep expertise in BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, MPLS, OSPF, and traffic engineering

• Proven experience operating in 100G/400G+ environments

• Hands-on experience with Arista, Cisco Nexus, Juniper, or equivalent enterprise platforms

• Strong background in network automation (Python, Ansible, Terraform)

• Experience with observability and telemetry platforms (NetFlow, Prometheus, Grafana)

• Knowledge of DDoS mitigation and network security segmentation

• Experience in high-availability, fault-tolerant system design

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Network Engineering, or related field

• CCIE, JNCIE, or equivalent expert-level certifications preferred

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

• Systems-level thinking with the ability to design at a global scale

• Strong analytical troubleshooting and deep root-cause capabilities

• Precision under pressure in mission-critical outage scenarios

• Collaborative mindset with strong cross-functional communication

• Forward-thinking approach to infrastructure modernization

• High ownership mentality with accountability for uptime and performance

• Curiosity-driven technical depth and commitment to continuous learning

Working Conditions

• Hybrid executive engineering model (on-site data center access required periodically)

• Participation in a global on-call rotation for Tier-1 infrastructure

• 15–25% international travel for data center deployments and infrastructure audits

• High-performance, high-availability environment where uptime is mission-critical

• Exposure to multi-region global operations

Compensation & Benefits

Total Compensation Range: $320,000 – $405,000 USD (based on experience, region, and technical depth)

Package Includes:

• Competitive base salary

• Performance-based annual bonus

• Long-term equity/stock participation program

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage

• Executive wellness and mental health programs

• 401(k) or global retirement plans with employer match
