Senior Network Developer

We are the AI Infrastructure - Network Operations team at OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).  We support and operate the RDMA/RoCE/InfiniBand network fabrics for OCI's largest AI and HPC customers.  These fabrics are the foundation underneath OCI's AI, GPU and HPC services, and support major tier-0 vendors in the generative AI industry. If you're running an AI workload at OCI, we're running the RDMA network underneath your workload.

A Network Operations Engineer on our team supports the design, deployment, and operations of a large-scale global Oracle cloud computing environment (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - OCI).  Primarily focused on operation and support of RDMA/RoCE/InfiniBand network fabrics and systems, through a combination of a deep network understanding and automation skills to operate a production environment.  As OCI is a cloud-based network with a global footprint, this support will include hundreds of thousands of network devices supporting millions of servers, connected over a mix of dedicated backbone infrastructure and the Internet.
 

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.

• Act as a Tier 2 and specialized escalation point for network incidents, driving root cause analysis, corrective actions, and long-term reliability improvements.
