Senior Manager - AI Network Engineering

Manage a team that designs, develops, troubleshoots and debugs software programs for databases, applications, tools, networks etc.

• Lead the end-to-end NPI lifecycle for current and next-generation high-performance NICs supporting OCI GPU and AI infrastructure, including architecture, qualification, performance, reliability, and production readiness.
• Partner with NIC, GPU, silicon, and systems vendors and internal OCI teams to bring new networking technologies from early development through large-scale fleet deployment.
• Build and lead the engineering organization responsible for OCI’s Collective Communication Library (CCL), defining its architecture, technical strategy, and performance roadmap.
• Drive optimization of collective communication, RDMA, GPU networking, and topology-aware algorithms across servers, racks, clusters, and AI superclusters.
• Own GPU cluster networking performance and develop benchmarking, modeling, and performance-analysis capabilities to identify and eliminate hardware and software bottlenecks.
• Drive hardware/software co-design across NICs, firmware, drivers, network fabrics, runtimes, and collective communication software.
• Establish automated qualification, regression, performance, reliability, and fault-testing processes to ensure cloud-scale production readiness.
• Build and develop a high-performing engineering organization spanning NIC NPI, networking software, collective communications, systems, performance engineering, and validation.
• Lead complex cross-functional programs, establish technical roadmaps and engineering metrics, manage external technology partnerships, and communicate technical strategy, risks, and results to senior OCI leadership.

Qualifications
