Wymagania

Do we have a match?

As a RDMA Performance engineer you must meet the following criteria:

• 7+ years of professional experience in network engineering, with preferably 3+ years specifically focused on data center network design and architecture.
• Hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting core network protocols and technologies, including BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, LACP, and ECMP.
• Deep understanding of AI-dedicated data center designs, including Rail-Optimized Design (ROD) and Rail-Unified Design (RUD) topologies, coupled with practical, hands-on experience configuring and deploying them.
• Proven experience configuring, managing, and troubleshooting NVIDIA/Mellanox Spectrum switches and ConnectX Network Interface Cards (NICs).
• Deep understanding of the protocols and congestion control mechanisms required for AI-dedicated data centers, specifically RoCEv2, Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN).
• Demonstrated ability to tune and optimize network environments, with specific focus on switch buffer tuning and the implementation of Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
• Experience conducting performance benchmarking and validation for AI-ready data center fabrics utilizing RDMA and the NVIDIA Collective Communication Library (NCCL).
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI agents/tools to automate tasks, testing, and analysis
• Strong technical documentation skills and professional English communication

Beyond the criteria above, we would appreciate the nice-to-haves:

• Professional-level certifications (CCNP/CCIE Enterprise/DC, JNCIP or equivalent)
• Hands-on experience with network automation & validation frameworks (pyATS, NAPALM, Batfish, Nornir, NetBox)
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and IaC concepts
