Consulting Member of Technical Staff - AI Networking and RDMA

Job Description

The Consulting Member of Technical Staff (CMTS) is a hands-on technical leader responsible for architecting, prototyping, and delivering advanced networking mechanisms that underpin large-scale AI systems. This role focuses on deep technical execution-designing and implementing production-quality features across SmartNICs, programmable switches, and end-host networking stacks, with a focus on real-world deployment, performance, and robustness.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

Data Plane & Offload Development:

• Design and implement multi-path-aware routing algorithms for execution on SmartNICs and switches.

• Develop high-performance data plane logic using low-level systems programming and hardware SDKs for routing, load-balancing, and real-time telemetry offloads.

• Optimize packet processing pipelines for deterministic low-latency and high-throughput operation.

Congestion Control & Transport Algorithms:

• Implement congestion control mechanisms leveraging detailed network telemetry (queue depth, loss, latency, link health).

• Build and optimize transport-level solutions that adaptively select paths and adjust rates in large-scale AI fabrics.

ML Collective & RDMA Systems:

• Develop collective communication transports for ML workloads that maintain high performance through congestion, failures, and irregular topologies.

• Implement and scale RDMA across multipath environments, ensuring correctness and adherence to ordering guarantees.

• Extend RDMA-based architectures to storage and data services for enhanced efficiency and lower latency.

Validation & Performance Engineering:

• Develop frameworks, simulators, and proofs-of-concept to validate functionality, scalability, and resilience.

• Analyze and optimize performance across hardware (NIC/switch), kernel/firmware, and user-space boundaries.

• Diagnose and resolve complex issues in distributed and low-level systems.

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in systems, networking, or kernel-level engineering, with proven hands-on technical depth.

• Expertise in RDMA, congestion control, transport protocols, and high-performance packet processing.

• Strong implementation skills for complex, hardware-proximal algorithms with a focus on correctness and performance.

• Proficiency in debugging cross-layer, distributed, and low-level technical challenges.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with large-scale AI training/inference infrastructure.

• Familiarity with programmable networking pipelines and hardware SDKs.

• Track record of delivering complex, production-quality networking features at scale.
