We are seeking a Senior Solutions Architect with deep networking expertise to join the Voyager team in the Mirantis Office of the CTO. You will own the network solutioning of k0rdent AI, our platform for building and operating GPU clouds and AI factories, from metal to model.

You will design how large GPU clusters are interconnected, how tenants are isolated, and how workloads reach the network from containers, virtual machines and bare metal nodes. Research is a core part of the job, and the role combines research with hands-on, outward-facing work.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and publish network reference architectures and solution designs for k0rdent AI.
• Define compute fabrics on InfiniBand and RoCEv2 Ethernet, including rail-optimised and fat-tree or Clos designs.
• Define front-end, storage and management networks, and how they connect to customer data centers, public clouds and hybrid environments.
• Specify multi-tenant isolation across the stack, including InfiniBand partitions, VRFs, EVPN-VXLAN and Kubernetes network policy.
• Define host and platform networking for Linux, Kubernetes and KubeVirt workloads.
• Track, prototype and evaluate emerging AI networking technologies and standards.
• Build and run proofs of concept with customers and partners, and write automation and tooling that makes reference architectures reproducible.
• Present at industry events and run hands-on workshops for technical audiences.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years in network engineering or network architecture, with at least 3 years in data center, HPC or cloud infrastructure networking.
• Customer-facing experience as a solutions architect, pre-sales engineer, consultant or technical lead.
• Strong knowledge of data center network design, InfiniBand, RoCEv2, routing and overlays, hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity, Linux networking, and Kubernetes networking.
• Programming or scripting in at least one language (Python or Go preferred).
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA networking, GPU cloud or HPC operators, bare-metal provisioning, and network automation.
• Contributions to open-source networking or Kubernetes projects, or participation in standards bodies.
