About the role
Build the networks the frontier of AI trains on. Fabrics for 100k+ accelerator clusters, backbones between gigawatt campuses, and every network in between.
How We Operate
- Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end—often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
- Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
- First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
- Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
Responsibilities
- Own external connectivity: carriers, dark fiber, internet exchanges, and cloud interconnects across the fleet.
- Plan backbone capacity between sites years ahead of the traffic that will fill it.
- Negotiate technical terms with carriers and fiber providers alongside sourcing.
- Own the connectivity roadmap: diversity, latency, and cost engineered deliberately.
Qualifications
- You've engineered carrier and long-haul connectivity at scale.
- You've procured dark fiber and lit services and know where the contracts hide risk.
- You plan capacity with data and buy ahead of need.
- You hold carriers to SLAs with escalation paths you built yourself.
Bonus
- Long-haul and subsea systems.
- DWDM.
- Peering strategy.
- Fiber route analysis.
