Set the technical vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for the global enterprise network, spanning on-prem and cloud environments.
Lead the design, deployment, and operation of wired/wireless office networks, campus edge, and robust SD-WAN/POP/WAN architecture for resilient global connectivity leveraging Agentic AI.
Drive HPC data center networking, including high-speed interconnects, spine-leaf fabrics, and capacity planning for GPU-dense research and engineering infrastructure.
Architect and manage on-ramp to cloud connectivity, including direct peering, interconnects, and hybrid network integration with major CSPs (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Oversee network firewall and security infrastructure, including NGFW, segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAC, and Zero Trust access, in partnership with Cybersecurity.
Establish agentic, data-driven, SRE-oriented operating model with well-defined SLOs, observability, automation, and continuous improvement across all network domains.
Build, mentor, and scale a globally distributed engineering organization spanning architecture, design, deployments, and network site reliability engineering, transforming team and processes to leverage agentic AI.
Partner cross-functionally (IT, Security, Real Estate, Facilities, Cloud Engineering) to ensure network readiness for all business needs, and represent networking at the executive level by translating complexity into business outcomes and investment priorities.
What we need to see:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent experience
18+ years of overall experience in network engineering, architecture, and operations, with 10+ years of leadership experience managing large, geographically distributed network teams
Deep expertise across enterprise networking domains: LAN/WLAN, WAN/SD-WAN, data center networking, campus edge, network security, and cloud connectivity
Proven track record of transforming network operations at scale - moving from traditional NOC models to modern, software-driven SRE and agentic AI first approaches
Experience operating networks in hyperscale or large enterprise environments with thousands of network devices across multiple geographies
Strong command of network security architecture, including NGFW, NAC (ISE/similar), network segmentation, IPsec VPN, and Zero Trust principles
Demonstrated ability to build and develop high-performing teams, including hiring, mentoring, and succession planning across multiple management layers
Exceptional executive communication skills - able to translate technical infrastructure priorities into business language for senior leadership
Experience managing vendor relationships and technology evaluations across networking platforms (Arista, Cisco, Juniper/Mist, Palo Alto, Aryaka, or similar)
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience at a hyperscale cloud service provider, large technology, AI, or HPC-focused organization, with familiarity in HPC and AI cluster networking (InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, RDMA/RoCE).
Background in network automation and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, Python, Netconf/YANG).
Experience implementing SRE principles (observability, SLOs/SLIs, incident management, runbook automation) leveraging AI/ML and AI agents.
Deployed cloud networking and hybrid architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Track record of operating networks supporting rapid physical expansion (new office builds, lab stand-ups, and data center deployments).
