Network Systems Architect (AI)

Location: Sunnyvale, CA; hybrid

Company

hirify.global builds large-scale AI accelerator hardware and platforms designed to deliver high-speed model training and inference.

What you will do

• Define multi-generation scale-up network architectures and roadmaps, including interfaces to scale-out and customer-facing networks.
• Work with application, compiler, runtime, and communication-library teams to translate workload behavior into bandwidth, latency, ordering, availability, and serviceability requirements.
• Design fabric topology, protocols, routing, buffering, flow control, reliability, and fault-containment behavior.
• Evaluate standards-based technologies, merchant silicon, and custom protocols, switches, links, or offloads.
• Use performance models, traffic simulations, prototypes, and lab data to validate architecture choices and define acceptance criteria.
• Write architecture and interface specifications, lead design reviews, and guide implementation, bring-up, and qualification.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with low-level network or systems implementation, modeling, bring-up, or debugging.
• Experience designing low-latency scale-up or system fabrics and understanding scale-out network boundaries.
• Knowledge of network topology, protocols, switching, routing, buffering, flow control, reliability, and fault containment.
• Ability to analyze workload partitioning, placement, data and memory movement, synchronization, locality, and failure behavior.
• Ability to make cross-layer architectural decisions and drive designs through implementation and qualification.

Culture & Benefits

• Opportunity to build AI platforms beyond conventional GPU constraints.
• Access to cutting-edge AI research, including publishing and open-source opportunities.
• Work on high-performance AI supercomputing systems.
• Startup vitality combined with job stability.
• Non-corporate culture focused on individual respect, inclusion, learning, and professional growth.
