Role Scope- Own the networking hardware category: switches, routers, and DPUs for fabrics connecting 100k+ accelerator clusters.
- Negotiate supply agreements with networking OEMs covering price, lead time, and roadmap access.
- Dual-source critical switch platforms and manage the qualification burden that dual-sourcing creates.
- Align buy plans with network engineering roadmaps so hardware generations land when designs need them, not after.
What We're Looking For- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
- You've sourced networking hardware at scale from major OEMs.
- You've handled end-of-life and generation transitions without stranding inventory or stalling builds.
- You understand enough of the technology (optics, ASICs, port speeds) to negotiate credibly with product teams.
- You keep firmware, licensing, and support terms from becoming the expensive surprise later.
- Bonus: AI/HPC fabric hardware. White-box and ODM switching. Optics supply chains. Vendor financing structures.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
