About the role

Senior-level network engineering role at Google Cloud Global Infrastructure focusing on large-scale routing, SDN, and hardware-aware network design.

Partner with silicon vendors to optimize NPU forwarding pipelines, evaluating trade-offs in VoQ scheduling, table partitioning, FIB compression, and high-scale ECMP/WCMP.
Advance large-scale routing and SDN protocols, including BGP, IS-IS, Segment Routing (SRv6), MPLS, and programmatic APIs like gRIBI and P4Runtime.
Design high-throughput tunneling and line-rate encryption (MACsec, IPsec), managing match-action tables and telemetry while mitigating parser limits and expansion overhead.
Architect and deploy innovative network structures such as disaggregated AI WAN fabrics and commoditized NOS abstractions that remove vendor constraints.
Shape multi-year hardware, silicon, and system roadmaps for high-scale, air- and liquid-cooled platforms across Core and Edge networks.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
15 years of experience in network architecture, router platform engineering, NPU/ASIC forwarding design, or distributed routing systems.
Experience with core routing and traffic engineering protocols used in hyperscale networks, including BGP, IS-IS, MPLS, Segment Routing (SR-MPLS/SRv6), and modern SDN/management interfaces (e.g., OpenConfig, gNMI, gRIBI, or P4Runtime).
