REMOTE AI Cloud Network Architect
Title: AI Cloud Network Architect Location: FULLY remote! Salary: $175k-$250k/year + BONUS + RSUs Requirements: 7+ years of Network Engineering experience in Cloud Computing environment, Software Defined Networking, CCNP, HPC/AI Our global platform focuses AI/High Performance Computing Infrastructure. Founded in 2017, we are now post-IPO, publicly traded, and experiencing MASSIVE GROWTH... Our revenue grew over 95% in the last YEAR! We have made several acquisitions and formed several partnerships during this period of growth, and we need YOUR HELP to keep it going. We're currently looking to hire a fully remote Network Engineer to spearhead the development of high-performance, scalable networking infrastructure tailored for AI-driven cloud environments. This role centers on architecting and fine-tuning network solutions across geographically distributed data centers, enabling support for AI workloads across bare metal, virtual machines, and containerized platforms - from initial training to fine-tuning and inference stages. In this role, you'll collaborate cross-functionally with infrastructure, GPU, and platform engineering teams to deliver ultra-low latency and high-throughput systems optimized for next-generation AI clusters. What You'll be Doing: • Architect robust, high-throughput data center network fabrics optimized for AI workloads and multi-tenant cloud environments • Design and deploy EVPN/VXLAN overlays, L2/L3 switching topologies, and host-level multi-networking across bare metal, VMs, and containers; proficient in MLAG switch environments • Implement BGP, VRFs, and ACLs to enforce network segmentation, tenant isolation, and dynamic security policy frameworks • Lead end-to-end design of advanced GPU interconnect fabrics (e.g., Infiniband, Spectrum-X, RDMA/RoCEv2, DPUs/Smart NICs) leveraging CLOS/ECMP architectures • Build and maintain carrier-grade edge routing systems with BGP-based peering, automatic failover, and intelligent traffic engineering • Manage inter-data center connectivity, routing governance, and resilience strategies across geographically distributed clusters • Define and implement SDN architectures via Netconf, gNMI, and controller-based frameworks for dynamic network orchestration What You Need for this Position • 5+ years of experience in data center or service provider networking • Proven expertise across key domains: • High-speed Ethernet architectures (100G, 200G, 400G, 800G) • Advanced routing and switching technologies: EVPN/VXLAN, Layer 2/3, BGP, OSPF, VRFs, and QoS • High-performance fabrics for AI/HPC workloads, including Infiniband and RoCEv2 • Multi-host networking across bare metal, KVM, and Kubernetes environments • Experience designing GPU cluster networks with technologies such as NVIDIA UFM, SHARP, and data center fabric best practices • Proficient with infrastructure automation tools, including Netbox, Netconf, and IaC frameworks like Ansible and Terraform • Practical knowledge of vendor platforms: Arista EOS, Juniper Junos, and Mellanox/NVIDIA Cumulus and Onyx • Strong grasp of network telemetry, packet-level diagnostics, and performance optimization techniques • Excellent communication and documentation skills, with a collaborative approach to cross-functional engineering work BONUS SKILLS: • Familiarity with AI/ML workload patterns, including model training and inference bottlenecks • Experience developing or integrating SDN controllers using Python • Background in multi-tenant cloud networking for platform-as-a-service (PaaS) or infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) environments • Certifications such as CCIE, JNCIE, or comparable credentials Benefits • $175k - $250k/year + BONUS! • RSU's • 5 weeks PTO • 401k w/ match • Comprehensive benefits and MORE!
