  • Automate deployment and operations of large-scale RDMA (RoCEv2) Ethernet fabrics across Vultr data centers.
  • Build Ansible and Python-based frameworks to provision, validate, and remediate underlay and overlay networks
  • Integrate network automation with Vultr's source-of-truth systems (NetBox, OpsMill) for intent-driven configuration and validation
  • Develop telemetry ingestion and correlation pipelines (gNMI, Prometheus, Kafka, custom collectors) for real-time network health and performance metrics
  • Collaborate with platform, orchestration, and product engineering teams to optimize RDMA performance, PFC/ECN behavior, and path symmetry across fabrics
  • Implement CI/CD workflows for network configuration changes - validation, pre-checks, and rollbacks
  • Investigate complex network behaviors across layers - flow hashing, congestion domains, ECMP, and overlay interactions
  • Contribute to the design of next-generation GPU and AI interconnect fabrics, ensuring seamless integration into Vultr's global network architecture

Requirements:

  • Solid understanding of modern data center networking: EVPN-VXLAN, BGP, MLAG, QoS, and traffic engineering
  • Deep familiarity with RoCEv2, RDMA transport tuning, ECN/PFC, and lossless Ethernet design
  • Strong experience with automation frameworks like Ansible, and languages like Python, Golang, Rust, or PHP
  • Comfort working with telemetry and monitoring stacks - Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, or similar
  • Previous experience integrating with NetBox, Nautobot, OpsMill or similar for topology and configuration source-of-truth
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD) for continuous delivery of network automation
  • Strong Linux networking background, including namespaces, netlink, and system-level debugging
