Job Summary
OCI (Oracle Cloud) AI Infrastructure Innovation team is pioneering the creation of next-generation AI/HPC networking for GPU superclusters at massive scale. Our mission is to design and deliver state-of-the-art RDMA-based networkingspanning frontend and backend fabricsthat enables customers to achieve high performance for AI training and inference. You will define architecture lead complex system design and implement innovative networking software that advances RDMA for GPUs and accelerates storage access. If you thrive at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems high-speed networking and AI workloads this role offers the opportunity to push the boundaries of whats possible.
Responsibilities- Lead architecture system design and implementation for high-performance RDMA solutions across OCIs AI/HPC platforms including frontend and backend fabrics.
- Innovate on network and TCP performance and identify changes required across (Kernel NIC switch transport protocol storage GPU comms)
- Develop production-grade high-performance software features with rigorous reliability observability and security.
- Define performance goals and success metrics; design benchmarks and conduct large-scale experiments to validate throughput latency and tail behavior.
- Collaborate with GPU platform storage database and control-plane teams to deliver end-to-end solutions and influence OCI-wide network architecture and standards.
- Mentor engineers provide technical leadership/reviews and contribute to long-term roadmap and technical strategy.
Responsibilities
Required:
- Deep experience with RDMA networking (RoCE and/or InfiniBand) including congestion control reliability and performance tuning at scale.
- 6-8 years of strong software engineering background delivering high-performance features in large distributed systems
- Expertise with networking protocols and systems: TCP/IP IPv4/IPv6 DNS DHCP.
- Knowledge of L2/L3 and data center networking: MPLS BGP/OSPF/IS-IS; experience with VXLAN and EVPN is a plus.
- High-speed packet processing and/or HPC networking experience.
- Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms with demonstrated ability to optimize for high scale low latency and high throughput.
- Experience with storage technologies relevant to high-performance environments such as NVMe/NVMe-oF block storage journaling IO path optimization and performance troubleshooting across compute network and storage.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technically mentor others and deliver results in ambiguous complex problem spaces.
- BS/MS in Computer Science Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with AI/HPC stacks and workloads: NCCL/RCCL/MPI Slurm or other schedulers GPU communication patterns collective operations and large-scale training jobs.
- Experience integrating GPU Direct (RDMA) and remote NVMe access in production.
- Hands-on with observability and performance tooling (e.g. eBPF perf flame graphs switch/NIC telemetry) and SLO-driven operations at scale.
Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Computer Science preferred and at least 8 years of related experience. Experience working in a large ISP or cloud provider environment. Exposure to commodity Ethernet hardware (Broadcom/Mellanox) protocol experience with BGP/OSPF/IS-IS TCP IPv4 IPv6 DNS DHCP MPLS. Experience with networking protocols such as TCP/IP VPN DNS DHCP and SSL. Experience with Internet peering and inter-domain networking. Experience with scripting or automation and datacenter design Python preferred but must demonstrate knowledge in a scripting or compiled language. Experience with high level software design/development. Experience with automation systems framework design/use and deployment. Experience with network modeling and programing YANG OpenConfig NETCONF. Knowledge of network security design system performance characterization and testing. Knowledge of data flow and telemetry design deployment and operation. Excellent judgment in influence for product roadmap direction features and priorities. Leading individual contributor and a team member that provides direction and mentoring to others. 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.
