Job Description AI2NE strives to be a global leader in the RDMA cluster networking domain and enable seamless, accelerated High‑Performance Compute (HPC), Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning advancements. We envision a future where artificial intelligence and machine learning revolutionize industries, reshape societies, and unlock limitless possibilities. Our vision is to be a pioneering force, driving the development and design of state‑of‑the‑art RDMA clusters tailored specifically for AI, ML, and HPC workloads. This role supports the design, deployment, and operations of large‑scale global Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Primarily focused on the development and support of high‑speed fiber optic network fabric links and systems through a deep understanding of optical cables and high‑speed optical transceivers for leaf‑spine RDMA cluster networks at the L0/L1 physical layer and L2 protocol level, coupled with troubleshooting and automation/programming skills. Support will include millions of optical links for hundreds of thousands of network devices supporting millions of servers across a mix of dedicated backbone infrastructure, CLOS Network, and the Internet. Responsibilities Collaborate with engineers from the L1 optical engineering team, network design, delivery, AI Ops, DC Ops, DC build teams, and program/project managers to develop milestones and deliverables validating optical cabling and transceiver build quality in AI data center builds to OCI standards for RDMA backend networks. Primarily use existing procedures and tools to develop and safely execute DC network builds and changes, and occasionally develop new procedures. Provide break‑fix support for optical links to meet RDMA cluster performance criteria (pre‑FEC BER, Rx power, FEC bin, BOL and EOL margins, etc.). Serve as the escalation point for event remediation and lead post‑event root‑cause analysis. Frequently develop MPOs or scripts to automate routine tasks for the team and business units to improve build quality. Support dashboards built with requirements to represent data at L1 layers and device roles that help identify link‑level issues, anomalies such as link flaps and link downs. Serve as SME on data center build standards for the DC build environment, optical cabling, and optics transceiver install and troubleshooting. Participate in AI DC deployment rotations at DC build sites with up to 50% domestic travel for optical link validations for new clusters and provide recommendations to various teams for improvement and enforcement. Support Ops to stabilize RDMA networks after turn‑up.
