Job description

NVIDIA Networking Solutions Architects team is looking for a Networking Solutions Architect to join the team and support the Spectrum-X networking platform, which is a revolutionary solution for building multi-tenant, hyperscale AI clouds with Ethernet.This role focuses on customers who build their own switch software stacks — running SONiC or in-house network operating systems on Spectrum-based whitebox switches, integrating through SAI, and developing directly against the NVIDIA Spectrum SDK. As a Networking Solutions Architect you will have a real impact on the business, while working closely with our customers, marketing and R&D teams.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Work as customer technical specialist to address customer requirements and technical challenges during the pre-sales activities of the Spectrum-X solution, with emphasis on whitebox switches.
  • Guide customers bringing up SONiC or their own NOS on NVIDIA Spectrum whitebox platforms — platform bring-up, feature enablement and debuggability.
  • Serve as the technical authority on the SAI layer and the NVIDIA Spectrum SDK: advise on API usage, feature mapping, ASIC capabilities and limitations, and help customers implement new features on top of them.
  • Debug complex networking and software issues across the full stack — customer NOS, SAI, SDK — and provide solutions to customers.
  • Work closely with our R&D teams to solve customer issues and drive fixes upstream where relevant.
  • Participate in building the SW products roadmap by providing customer product requirements and feedback to engineering and marketing teams.
What we need to see:
  • 6+ years’ experience in networking software development with knowledge of Linux kernel, Ethernet and IP protocols.
  • B.Sc or equivalent experience, Masters or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience with switch software stacks — SONiC, another open/whitebox NOS, or an in-house switch operating system.
  • Experience with Ethernet Switches/Routers and network protocols including L2–L4 protocols.
  • Development or scripting ability in C/C++ and/or Python for debugging, integration and tooling.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with strong attention to details.
  • Strong English communication and presentation skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to work directly with customers.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Working knowledge of switch ASIC programming models and abstraction layers such as SAI, or equivalent vendor switch SDKs.
  • Cloud infrastructure understanding
  • Knowledge of RDMA and RoCE
  • Knowledge of AI workflows
