Description
Company Overview:
Radiant is redefining how AI infrastructure is built.
We design and operate AI-native cloud platforms engineered for sovereignty, performance, and scale. Our infrastructure powers GPU-native workloads, multi-tenant control planes, and high-performance AI systems designed for the most demanding environments.
We are not building a generic cloud. We are building purpose-built AI infrastructure - from powered land, to compute, to software .
As we scale our platform and expand our engineering organisation, we are looking for leaders who can build strong teams, uphold high standards, and deliver reliably at pace.
Job Description
As a Senior Network Engineer, you’ll design, deploy, and operate the high-performance, low-latency network fabric that underpins our GPU infrastructure. You’ll play a critical role in shaping the architecture, automation, and operational standards of our network, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of modern AI training and inference workloads.
The ideal candidate is a strong advocate of engineering excellence and operational best practices. You’re customer-focused, collaborative, and equally comfortable discussing technical issues with enterprise customers, internal teams, and cross-functional stakeholders. You’ll contribute to everything from design and implementation through to L3/L4 operational support.
Role Responsibilities
- Network Architecture & Collaboration: Design scalable leaf-spine networks using Mellanox switches with Cumulus Linux, integrated with Juniper PTX routers and SRX firewalls. Lead 3rd party and internal provider collaboration to deploy resilient site-to-site and internet connectivity, optimise topology, and resolve complex faults.
- Operations & Maintenance: Perform configuration, upgrades, and deep troubleshooting of Juniper and NVIDIA/Cumulus devices in production environments.
- Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Implement programmable network designs using controller-based platforms to support automation and scalability.
- Kubernetes Networking: Support networking within container platforms using CNIs such as Calico, Cilium, or Kube-OVN. Understand microservices traffic patterns and service mesh integrations.
- Automation & Scripting: Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and Python automation for configuration management, provisioning, and compliance, including working against API interfaces of network equipment.
- Monitoring & Telemetry: Implement observability tools using SNMP, sFlow, and gRPC to detect and address network bottlenecks at scale.
- Incident Management: Lead L3/L4 network incident response, escalation management and root cause analysis in high-pressure, 24×7 production environments.
- Stakeholder & Customer Engagement: Act as a trusted technical expert, engaging directly with internal stakeholders and enterprise customers. Present solutions and troubleshoot effectively across all levels of the organisation.
- Engineering Excellence: Promote and uphold best practices in configuration management, change control, documentation, and continuous improvement.
Requirements
- HPC/AI Networking: 3–5 years’ experience supporting high-throughput, low-latency infrastructure for GPU-based or HPC clusters.
- 8–12+ years in networking, often with at least 5 years in globally distributed environments
- Experience with multi-region or multi-continent backbone networks, transit/peering, and high-availability design at Internet scale
- Hands-on with large-scale routing (BGP/MPLS), automation at scale, and often SDN or custom orchestration frameworks
- Routing & Switching: Strong understanding of BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and Data Centre Interconnects (DCI).
- Hardware Platforms:
- Cloud-Native Networking: Proficiency with Kubernetes networking and container-based infrastructure, including CNIs (e.g. Calico, Cilium).
- Linux Proficiency: Confident with CLI environments, scripting, and diagnostics.
- Automation
