Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled Network Consulting Engineer (NCE) to design and implement next-generation VXLAN EVPN-based data center networks that support hypercomputing and AI infrastructure.

This role is central to enabling the high-performance, low-latency environments required for multi-GPU clusters, distributed training pipelines, and scalable AI workloads.

The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in VXLAN, BGP, EVPN, RoCEv2, and fabric-based networking, along with a solid understanding of the networking demands of large-scale AI and HPC environments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, deploy, and manage VXLAN EVPN-based fabric networks supporting AI and high-performance computing workloads.

  • Build scalable spine-leaf architectures using Cisco Nexus 9000 or Arista switches, ensuring efficient Layer 2/Layer 3 segmentation and workload mobility.

  • Optimize network performance for RoCEv2, GPUDirect, and low-latency traffic flows, ensuring maximum throughput and minimal jitter for GPU-accelerated clusters.

  • Configure underlay and overlay protocols including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and troubleshoot connectivity and control-plane issues.

  • Integrate data center fabric with virtualization platforms such as VMware NSX, KVM, and Hyper-V, as well as Kubernetes-based AI infrastructure.

  • Collaborate with compute, storage, and DevOps teams to ensure end-to-end performance across AI training, fine-tuning, inference, and ETL pipelines.

  • Drive network automation efforts using tools such as Python, Ansible, and Terraform, enabling Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for repeatable, scalable deployments.

  • Participate in performance tuning, benchmarking, and capacity planning for evolving AI workloads and future-proof infrastructure designs.

Required Skills & Expertise:

  • Proven experience designing and operating VXLAN EVPN-based data center networks.

  • Strong knowledge of Cisco ACI, Nexus 9000, or Arista EOS platforms.

  • Expertise in data center routing and switching, including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, multicast, and fabric path.

  • Deep understanding of AI-specific networking needs, including RoCEv2, DCB, PFC, and RDMA optimization.

  • Hands-on experience with automation and orchestration tools such as Python, Ansible, and Terraform.

  • Familiarity with GPU-accelerated workloads and distributed systems in AI/ML and HPC environments.

Preferred Qualifications & Certifications:

  • CCNP or CCIE Data Center (highly preferred)
  • Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Core or Data Center Core
  • Additional certifications in NVIDIA Networking (Cumulus/Spectrum) or Arista ACE are a plus
  • Experience with hybrid and multi-cloud networking for AI clusters is desirable
