## Description

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers.

You will design the connectivity behind Lambda's next data center, backbone route and customer interconnect.

## Responsibilities

- Design the Network: Develop physical and optical connectivity designs for data centers, points of presence, backbone routes and customer interconnects.

- Translate customer and network requirements into routes, capacity plans, equipment needs and acceptance criteria, working within Network Engineering's and HPC architecture.

- Compare dark fiber, wavelength, internet transit and interconnection options on latency, resilience, total cost, delivery time and room for expansion.

- Validate route diversity and identify shared conduits, building entrances, fiber extensions and other dependencies that could compromise a design.

## Develop Solutions with Suppliers

- Work with carrier engineering teams to develop routes, extend reach and resolve coverage, site access or capacity constraints.

- Evaluate new and existing suppliers, gather technical proposals and budgetary quotes, and recommend options with clear tradeoffs.

- Work with optical and network equipment partners on alternatives when fiber availability, equipment lead times or cost put a build at risk.

## Take Designs into Delivery

- Produce a complete design package for Network Engineering approval, then work with Delivery on the build schedule, dependencies and acceptance requirements.

- Resolve design questions during delivery and take revisions back through Network Engineering review when site or supplier conditions change.

## Requirements

- Experience designing or developing carrier, cloud or data center connectivity, with designs that have progressed from requirements into delivery.

- Practical knowledge of dark fiber, wavelength services, optical transport and internet interconnection.

- Ability to assess physical route diversity, equipment dependencies and capacity needs beyond what a route map alone shows.

## Nice To Have

- Experience designing long-haul optical networks or dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems.

- Experience with private cloud connectivity, internet exchanges or large compute deployments.

## Benefits

- Generous cash & equity compensation

- Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents

- Wellness and commuter stipends for select roles

- 401k Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)

- Flexible paid time off plan
