Collaborating closely with Product Management, Engineering, Strategic Alliances, and Customer Engineering, you will create reference architectures, best practices, and customer-facing guidance that shape how enterprises design, operate, and secure AI infrastructure and networking at scale. **Be a Contributor — What You’ll Do** - Define AI Infrastructure Architecture. You will create comprehensive architectural blueprints for modern AI infrastructure spanning AI factories, GPU clusters, distributed training environments, LLM inference platforms, and autonomous AI systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. You'll balance performance, resiliency, operational efficiency, and security in every design, and partner with Product Management and Engineering to influence long-term platform strategy. - Architect AI-Scale Networking. You will design and document networking architectures that support thousands of GPUs, with deep expertise across high-performance interconnects, lossless Ethernet fabrics, and AI traffic engineering patterns. You'll define best practices for maximizing throughput, resiliency, and operational simplicity in the most demanding AI environments in the world. - Guide AI Platform and Inference Architecture. You will develop integration patterns across major AI orchestration platforms including Kubernetes-based environments, Slurm-managed clusters, and vendor-specific AI enterprise stacks and produce reference architectures for production-grade AI serving and inference platforms optimized for latency, scalability, and high availability. - Drive Infrastructure Automation. You will champion automation across the AI infrastructure lifecycle, including provisioning, cluster deployment, configuration management, GitOps workflows, and AI operations (AIOps), helping customers and internal teams move from manual operations to self-managing, observable infrastructure. - Lead Customer Architecture Engagements.
