SUMMARY:Staff Datacenter Network Engineer
DESCRIPTION:Mission:\nAs a Datacenter Network Engineer at Groq, you will d
 esign, build, and deploy Groq’s global datacenter network fabric to meet t
 he highest standards of availability, efficiency, and automation. Your wor
 k will ensure a robust, scalable, and future-ready infrastructure that dir
 ectly supports Groq’s mission to deliver fast, cost-efficient inference se
 rvices.\n\nResponsibilities & opportunities in this role:\nNetwork Fabric 
 Architecture and Design:  Design end‑to‑end network topologies for new and
  existing data centers, covering IPv4/IPv6, BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and high‑avai
 lability fabric. Provide a scalable, fault‑tolerant foundation that keeps 
 inference pipelines running 24/7.\nHardware Deployment & Optimization: Dep
 loy, configure, and tune Cisco, Juniper, and Arista switches, routers, and
  firewalls at massive scale. Ensure optimal throughput, low jitter, and pr
 edictable performance for ML workloads.\nDocumentation and Bill‑of‑Materia
 ls (BOM) Management: Create and maintain accurate BOMs for all fabric comp
 onents (switches, line cards, transceivers, cables, racks). Validate BOMs 
 against design specifications and update them as hardware revisions or new
  models are introduced.\nCross functional collaboration: Partner with Data
  Center Engineering (power, cabling, floor layouts) teams to understand tr
 affic profiles and future scaling needs.\n\nIdeal candidates have/are:\nHa
 rdware Proficiency – Hands‑on experience with Cisco Nexus, Juniper QFX, an
 d Arista 7500/7800 series switches, including line‑card and transceiver ma
 nagement.\nGPU Clusters – RoCEv2 – \nBOM & Procurement Skills – Experience
  creating and maintaining BOMs, coordinating with procurement, and managin
 g inventory.\nAutomation & Scripting – Strong background in Ansible, Terra
 form, Python, and vendor APIs for configuration management.\nMonitoring & 
 Telemetry – Familiarity with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry for port‑level v
 isibility.\nSoft Skills – Excellent analytical, communication, and collabo
 ration abilities; comfortable mentoring and documenting complex designs.\n
 Bonus – Experience with ML traffic patterns, SD‑WAN, or contributions to o
 pen‑source fabric projects.\n\nAttributes of a Groqster:\nHumility – Egos 
 are checked at the door\nCollaborative & Team Savvy – We make up the smart
 est person in the room, together\nGrowth & Giver Mindset – Learn it all ve
 rsus know it all, we share knowledge generously\nCurious & Innovative – Ta
