Responsibilities
- Translate customer connectivity, isolation, access, and performance needs into supported networking platform capabilities.
- Build Kubernetes-native automation for tenant and node network provisioning, scaling, repair, replacement, reassignment, and cleanup.
- Own dynamic routing, BGP, VLANs, overlays, IP allocation, service exposure, ingress, egress, VIPs, load balancers, and public IPs across management, tenant, and external networks.
- Operate Kubernetes networking for the Groq management plane and tenant clusters, including Cilium, network policy, service routing, and bare-metal integration.
- Automate GPU networking lifecycle operations for NVL72 systems, InfiniBand, RoCE, and GPUDirect.
- Manage network inventory and fabric integration through IPAM, NetBox, Netris, UFM, and related APIs.
- Define and verify tenant isolation, segmentation, traffic policy, access controls, and network security boundaries.
- Establish declarative configuration, GitOps reconciliation, testing, staged rollout, drift detection, and recovery procedures.
- Own network telemetry, troubleshooting, incident remediation, and reliability improvements for production services.
Requirements
- Deep production experience designing and operating data center networking services through deployment, expansion, maintenance, and incidents.
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP, BGP, routing policy, peering, ECMP, segmentation, interconnects, packet paths, and failure behavior.
- Experience with leaf-spine fabrics, underlay and overlay networks, VLANs, VRFs, and EVPN/VXLAN.
- Practical Kubernetes and Linux networking experience, including CNI behavior, Cilium or comparable systems, network policy, and service exposure.
- Experience building Kubernetes controllers, operators, and custom resources in Go, with safe retries, reconciliation, partial-failure handling, and cleanup.
- Experience with network automation, API integrations, version control, code review, automated testing, controlled rollout, and GitOps workflows.
- Experience delivering multitenant infrastructure or managed Kubernetes networking products through onboarding, provisioning, upgrades, scaling, and production support.
- Experience designing tenant separation, management network boundaries, traffic controls, and methods to verify network security controls.
- Experience with fabric management and IPAM systems such as Netris, UFM, and NetBox.
- Experience with NVIDIA GPU infrastructure and AI networking, including InfiniBand, Spectrum-X, NVL72 systems, RDMA, RoCE, and congestion control.
- Experience networking large GPU clusters, including distributed workload performance, high-bandwidth east-west traffic, and multi-site connectivity.
- Ability to translate customer requirements into reliable, supportable networking capabilities with defined behavior and operational procedures.
Benefits
- Role is based in the Dallas, San Francisco, or New York City area.
- Remote work is available while the company establishes a local Groq office, with an expected transition to onsite work once the office opens.
- Groq offers employee benefits and a Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Program.
- The role offers mission-driven work on complex networking, Kubernetes, data center, and GPU infrastructure challenges.
