The OCI AI Infrastructure – Network Operations team operates the high-performance RDMA/RoCE network fabrics powering OCI’s largest AI, GPU, and HPC workloads. As a Senior Network Engineer, you will:
- Operate, support, and scale RDMA/RoCE network fabrics across OCI’s global cloud infrastructure.
- Design and validate advanced network solutions for large-scale AI, GPU, HPC, and data center environments.
- Apply deep networking and automation expertise to improve network reliability, performance, scalability, and operational efficiency.
- Develop automation, testing frameworks, and tooling to streamline network operations and proactively monitor network health.
- Build test strategies, perform pre-production validation, and drive root cause analysis (RCA) for complex network issues.
- Analyze network telemetry and performance metrics to identify anomalies, capacity constraints, and opportunities for improvement.
- Support incident response, customer escalations, and complex troubleshooting across production environments.
- Partner with internal engineering teams, vendors, and project teams to validate solutions and deliver network initiatives.
- Improve monitoring, anomaly detection, and operational tooling for frontline support teams.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to networking standards, operational readiness, and engineering best practices.
Internal Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
- Design, operate, validate, and scale advanced network fabrics for large-scale cloud, AI, and data center environments.
- Develop automation, scripts, and tooling to streamline network testing, operations, deployment, and troubleshooting.
- Build and enhance telemetry, dashboards, alerting, and monitoring to improve network health, reliability, and SLO performance.
- Develop test strategies, lead pre-production validation, and drive root cause analysis (RCA) for network issues and changes.
- Analyze network performance, capacity, latency, throughput, and packet loss to identify issues and support infrastructure growth.
- Participate in incident response and operational support, resolving complex production and customer issues.
- Partner with engineering teams, vendors, and stakeholders on network architecture, deployments, standards, and operational readiness.
- Identify design and operational risks, drive mitigations, and continuously improve network processes and reliability.
- Mentor engineers, provide technical guidance, and contribute to architecture, roadmap, and engineering best practices.
- Independently manage priorities and deliverables while collaborating across teams to achieve shared objectives.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in CS or related engineering field with 5+ years of Network Engineering experience or master’s with 1+ years of Network Engineering experience.
- Experience working in a large ISP or cloud provider environment. Experience in RDMA Networking is a plus.
- Experience working in a network operations role.
- Folks with strong knowledge of routing protocols such as knowledge of MPLS, BGP/OSPF/IS-IS, TCP, IPv4, IPv6, DNS, and DHCP. Also, VxLAN and EVPN will be an added advantage.
- Extensive experience with scripting or automation and data center design – Python preferred but must demonstrate expertise in scripting or compiled language.
- Experience with networking protocols such as TCP/IP, VPN, DNS, DHCP, and SSL.
- Experience with network monitoring and telemetry solutions.
- Experience with network modeling and programming – YANG, OpenConfig, NETCONF.
- Ability to use professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in creative and effective ways. Capable of working under limited supervision.
- Excellent organizational, verbal, and written communication skills.
- Excellent judgment in influencing product roadmap direction, features, and priorities.
- Participate in an on-call rotation.
