About this role
Design, implement, and optimize high-performance network interconnect architectures for cloud gaming platforms. Focus on low-latency, high-throughput, globally distributed networking with strong observability and secure, redundant connectivity.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and operate end-to-end network interconnect architectures for cloud gaming by engaging ISPs to optimize low-latency routing
- Drive engagement with backbone providers, IXPs, and CDN/edge partners for IP-transit and peering networks
- Focus on data center interconnect for multi regional edge data centers
- Translate product business requirements into scalable technical architectures
- Define observability and ensure secure, redundant, high-availability interconnects
Technical Overview
Work across ISP, backbone, IXP, and CDN/edge partners to build cost-optimized IP transit and peering networks. Lead traffic engineering (QoS, load balancing, congestion control), capacity planning, scale testing, and ensure encryption, segmentation, and high availability for data center interconnects supporting multi-region edge deployments.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a principal-level network and cloud infrastructure architect with 15+ years of experience designing network interconnect architectures for low-latency, high-throughput, globally distributed workloads. They have deep expertise in TCP/IP, BGP, DNS, HTTP/2, and QUIC, plus hands-on experience with data center networking, IP transit, and internet peering.
