Senior Network Engineer, DGX Cloud - Backbone

NVIDIA is looking for a Senior Network Engineer to join the Global Backbone Engineering team. Powering NVIDIA 's DGX Cloud — a distributed AI-training and research platform — the team operates the network enabling the infrastructure's worldwide presence. They architect and scale the long-haul, high-capacity connectivity that bridges NVIDIA 's AI factories with cloud providers, engineering optimized fiber paths, intelligent traffic routing, and industry-leading network technology to deliver flexibility and performance for intensive AI workloads across this expanding ecosystem. The goal is to design, build, and operate a highly reliable, scalable, and efficient backbone network that interconnects NVIDIA 's global data centers, offices, and cloud environments — the foundational layer that enables AI training clusters, GPU compute fabrics, and software development pipelines to operate at peak performance worldwide. To achieve this goal, we are looking for an engineer with a deep understanding of large-scale WAN/backbone architectures, optical transport, and IP/MPLS technologies, and a proven track record of building and delivering carrier-grade networks. What You Will Be Doing: Lead the overall architecture and design of NVIDIA 's global backbone network, including inter-DC connectivity, POP design, long-haul optical transport, and peering strategy. Implement, manage, and troubleshoot the full backbone network stack, from optical layer through IP/MPLS and traffic engineering. Automate backbone network infrastructure end-to-end, including circuit provisioning, capacity management, monitoring, and failure detection. What We Need To See: Expert knowledge in large-scale backbone networking technologies and protocols, including: MPLS, SR-MPLS, BGP-LU, RSVP-TE, IS-IS, OSPF, MP-BGP, BFD, QoS, MACsec, and IPFIX/NetFlow. Hands-on experience with backbone interconnect and optical transport technologies: DWDM, coherent optics, passive and active optical networking, OTN, and 400G/8
