Senior Network Engineer, DGX Cloud - Backbone

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Network Engineer to join the Global Backbone Engineering team, which operates the network enabling the company's DGX Cloud , a distributed AI-training and research platform.

The successful candidate will lead the overall architecture and design of NVIDIA's global backbone network, including inter-DC connectivity, POP design, long-haul optical transport, and peering strategy.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, manage, and troubleshoot the full backbone network stack, from optical layer through IP/MPLS and traffic engineering.
• Automate backbone network infrastructure end-to-end, including circuit provisioning, capacity management, monitoring, and failure detection.

Requirements:

• Expert knowledge in large-scale backbone networking technologies and protocols, including MPLS, SR-MPLS, BGP-LU, RSVP-TE, IS-IS, OSPF, MP-BGP, BFD, QoS, MACsec, and IPFIX/NetFlow.
• Hands-on experience with backbone interconnect and optical transport technologies: DWDM, coherent optics, passive and active optical networking, OTN, and 400G/800G long-haul circuits.
• Deep experience with peering and internet exchange: PNI, transit provider management, IXP connectivity, and BGP policy and traffic engineering at scale.
• Ability to write and understand Python/Shell scripts and programs for automation, tooling, capacity planning dashboards, and network alarming.
• Strong familiarity with backbone-class routing platforms such as Juniper MX/PTX, Cisco ASR/NCS, or equivalent carrier-grade systems.
• 8+ years of experience in network engineering, with substantial focus on backbone/WAN or carrier-grade environments.
• BS Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have:

• Hands-on background building tooling and automation for backbone provisioning, real-time monitoring, and capacity management.
• Experience designing and operating networks at hyperscaler or major ISP/carrier scale, including traffic engineering and ECMP optimization across global POPs.
• Passionate about innovating and investing in groundbreaking networking technologies such as segment routing, intent-based networking, and AIOps for network operations.
