Requirements
• 5+ years of experience in network engineering, including design, implementation, and operations • Deep expertise with BGP, OSPF, and other dynamic routing protocols in production environments • Hands-on experience designing and operating load balancing solutions at scale • Strong understanding of CDN architectures and content delivery optimization • Experience with cloud networking, specifically AWS VPC design, transit gateways, peering, and hybrid connectivity • Practical experience with bare metal networking -- switch configuration, VLAN design, physical infrastructure • Solid understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, and HTTP/2 / HTTP/3 performance optimization • Experience with network monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance analysis tools • IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAD • Experience with real-time streaming protocols (WebSocket, WebRTC, RTP/RTSP) and optimizing networks for media traffic • Knowledge of GPU cluster networking including InfiniBand, RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), and high-bandwidth interconnects • Experience with multi-cloud networking spanning AWS, GCP, and/or Azure • Familiarity with network automation and Infrastructure as Code (Ansible, Terraform, or similar) • Experience with anycast routing and global traffic management • Background in network performance optimization for latency-sensitive applications • Understanding of DDoS mitigation strategies and network security at scale
Responsibilities
• Architect and optimize Deepgram's global network for real-time audio streaming, minimizing latency across geographic regions • Design and manage CDN and edge computing strategies to bring processing closer to end users • Configure and maintain BGP routing, including peering relationships and route optimization for multi-cloud and bare metal environments • Implement and tune load balancing solutions that intelligently distribute traffic across heterogeneous infrastructure (cloud, bare metal, GPU clusters) • Build and optimize multi-cloud networking architectures spanning AWS, other cloud providers, and on-premises data centers • Design and maintain bare metal networking including top-of-rack switching, spine-leaf architectures, and high-bandwidth GPU interconnects • Develop latency measurement, monitoring, and optimization tooling to continuously improve network performance • Plan and execute network capacity expansions as Deepgram's traffic and infrastructure footprint grow • Collaborate with infrastructure and platform teams to ensure network designs support both real-time inference and large-scale training workloads • Establish network security best practices including segmentation, DDoS mitigation, and access control policies • YOU'LL LOVE THIS ROLE IF YOU • Are passionate about squeezing every millisecond of latency out of a network path • Want to design global network infrastructure for a platform that processes real-time audio at massive scale • Enjoy the challenge of networking across hybrid environments -- cloud, bare metal, and edge • Like working on problems where network performance directly impacts product quality and customer experience • Want to build network strategy and architecture from the ground up, not just maintain what already exists • Are excited about the unique networking challenges that come with GPU clusters and AI/ML workloads
Benefits
• HOLISTIC HEALTH • Annual wellness stipend • Mental health support • Life, STD, LTD Income Insurance Plans • WORK/LIFE BLEND • Unlimited PTO • Generous paid parental leave • Flexible schedule • 12 Paid US company holidays • Quarterly personal productivity stipend • One-time stipend for home office upgrades • 401(k) plan with company match • Tax Savings Programs • CONTINUOUS LEARNING • Learning / Education stipend • Participation in talks and conferences • Employee Resource Groups • AI enablement workshops / sessions • For candidates outside of the US, we use an Employer of Record model in many countries, which means benefits are administered locally and governed by country-specific regulations. Because of this, benefits will differ by region — in some cases international employees receive benefits US employees do not, and vice versa. As we scale, we will continue to evaluate where we can create more alignment, but a 1:1 global benefits structure is not always legally or operationally possible. • Backed by prominent investors including Y Combinator, Madrona, Tiger Global, Wing VC and NVIDIA, Deepgram has raised over $215M in total funding. If you're looking to work on cutting-edge technology and make a significant impact in the AI industry, we'd love to hear from you!
