Cloud Network Engineer II

Quick Facts

• Role focused on cloud network infrastructure for large-scale AI and HPC networking
• Own AI network fabric operations, reliability, and scalability

Description

Work on delivery and operations of cloud network infrastructure powering distributed AI and HPC workloads. Manage AI network fabrics that require ultra-low latency, high throughput, reliability, and petabyte-scale efficiency, using high-speed fabrics such as InfiniBand and RoCE. Contribute technical leadership through automation, incident root-cause analysis, and continuous improvements to observability and operational readiness.

Responsibilities

• Develop a technical roadmap and servicing protocols/procedures for back-end network infrastructure
• Propose technical solutions for complex new systems design and process issues
• Lead root-cause analysis for service-interrupting incidents and implement prevention strategies
• Drive continuous improvements of networking services and automation at scale
• Serve as a subject matter expert across network operating systems, network automation in Python, BGP, cloud-scale operations, MPLS, large-scale testing, OpenConfig, or Streaming Telemetry
• Act as Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) for networking services and tooling (monitoring, incident response, coordinating RCA, observability improvements)
• Stay ahead of emerging AI infrastructure and HPC fabric trends and integrate best practices into workflows

Requirements

• Master’s degree in a related field and 1+ years technical experience in network design, development, and automation, or Bachelor’s degree and 2+ years, or equivalent experience
• Ability to meet security screening requirements, including passing the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting and designing using OSPF/ISIS/BGP/MPLS/LDP/VRF
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting production datacenter Ethernet networks (switches, ports, transceivers, fiber, physical-layer failures)
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting high-speed optical connectivity using telemetry (optical power, BER, FEC, CRC, lane-level status, link-flap data)
• Demonstrated experience operating/supporting large-scale AI/HPC/cloud network fabrics using BGP, RoCE, ECMP, and/or leaf-spine architectures
• Experience delivering network designs into production with live site accountability
• CCNP/CCIE/JNCi certification
