Job summary

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, Bellevue/San Francisco area, seeks a Senior Staff Network Engineer to own end-to-end network architecture, lead multi-team projects, and drive scalable designs for AI workloads.

You will write RFCs and designs, mentor engineers, and push automation to reduce manual ops. Expect day-2 operations and on-call rotations to ensure reliability and observability.

Qualifications

• Experience designing end-to-end network architectures for large-scale systems.
• Proven track record leading multi-team networking projects from design to turn-up.
• Strong ability to mentor engineers and drive design reviews.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture of major areas of Lambda's network end to end — you make the design calls, you help build it, and you're connected to how they hold up in production
• Lead large networking projects that may span multiple teams, from design through build to turn-up, and drive them to completion
• Write the designs, RFCs and reviews other engineers build from, and hold the bar in design review for work across the team
• Be the deep technical escalation point for the hardest production problems — the packet path, the routing table, the vendor's firmware, the code
• Drive the automation of your domain, replacing manual operational work with software that holds up under scale
• Partner with hardware, platform and product teams to resolve technical questions that cross team boundaries
• Qualify and integrate new network hardware and software, and hold vendors to account on defects and roadmap
• Guide partner teams to automate and scale through robust software systems and services
• Guide partner teams build the right telemetry and automation to ensure our network health is observable and self healing
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, and raise the bar through design review, code review and hiring
• Contribute to the multi-year technical strategy for Lambda's network, and own the parts of it that fall in your area
• Work with internal and external customers to resolve network related issues
• Operate what you build. You'll take part in day 2 operations and the on-call rotation, because the fastest feedback loop between design and reality runs through the pager
