Key Responsibilities

• Build and lead the team: Recruit, develop, and retain a team of exceptional network engineers; establish team charter, practices, and priorities as the team matures
• Drive technical strategy: Partner with technical leads to prioritize work across WAN buildout, data center networking, cloud connectivity, and host networking---ensuring we're solving the right problems at the right time
• Ensure operational excellence: Mature the team's approach to reliability, observability, and incident response as the network becomes increasingly critical to research and production workloads
• Unblock research at scale: Enable ML teams to seamlessly use compute capacity across multiple cloud providers and our own data centers
• Communicate and coordinate: Serve as the bridge between the networking team and the broader organization---clearly articulating dependencies, risks, and progress to stakeholders
• Stay technically grounded: Maintain enough technical depth to understand your team's work, provide meaningful guidance, and credibly represent networking concerns in cross-functional discussions

About You

We're looking for a technical leader who thinks of themselves as a problem-solver and team-builder first. 

Minimum Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager
• Experience building teams in environments with ambiguity and rapid change
• Strong technical foundation in networking: you can credibly discuss TCP/IP, BGP, routing architectures, and network debugging at a level that earns respect from senior ICs
• Experience across multiple networking domains---ideally touching at least two of: WAN, data center networking, host networking, cloud networking
• Ability to balance technical depth with pragmatic decision-making; you know when to dive deep and when to trust your team
• Strong communication skills---you can translate complex technical challenges into business terms and vice versa
• Comfort with end-to-end ownership in environments where best practices don't yet exist

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience at companies during periods of hypergrowth where you've scaled networking alongside the business
• Background in environments where you've worn multiple hats and worked across organizational boundaries
• Familiarity with both cloud provider networking (AWS, GCP) and on-premises/colo environments
• Experience working directly with internal users, cloud providers, and vendors to solve end-to-end networking problems
• Exposure to AI/ML infrastructure and the unique demands of large-scale distributed training

What makes a great fit:

Leverage over headcount: You're more excited about owning a high-impact problem end-to-end than managing a large team; you see extreme leverage in a small team enabling massive infrastructure investment

Generalist leader: You've avoided becoming narrowly specialized and can context-switch between physical infrastructure, software systems, vendor management, and technical strategy

Builder mentality: You're energized by maturing a v0 into something robust rather than optimizing an already-mature system; you like establishing practices, not just following them

Pragmatic technologist: You balance technical excellence with business outcomes; you care as much about unblocking research as you do about elegant network architectures

High adaptability: You thrive working with strong, opinionated technical contributors and can navigate unconventional team structures with patience and good judgment
