Manager, Network Simulation and Infrastructure

We are searching for a strong technical leader to own the backbone of our Networking Research capabilities. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the development of our high-fidelity Network Simulation platform and the extensive on-premise infrastructure that powers it.

In this role, you will lead a team of performance simulation software engineers and DevOps/Infrastructure specialists. You will own the "Simulation-as-a-Service" product-a critical platform used by internal researchers to model next-generation data center architectures. Your mission is to ensure our simulations are accurate, performant, and accessible, while managing the large-scale compute clusters required to run them.

What you'll be doing:

Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of C++ software engineers and DevOps infrastructure engineers, fostering a culture of performance, reliability, and code quality.

Product Ownership (Sim-as-a-Service): Treat the internal simulation platform as a product. Work with research partners to define the roadmap, prioritize features, and ensure high availability for users.

High-Performance Simulation: Be responsible for the architecture and optimization of complex network simulation engines (C++ based), ensuring they can scale to model extensive data center topologies with high fidelity.

Infrastructure Management: Own the lifecycle of our on-premise compute clusters and servers. Drive decisions on hardware upgrades, prioritisation, and managing system resources.

DevOps & Automation: Lead the strategy for CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and containerized deployments to ensure rapid iteration and stability of the simulation platform.

multi-functional Collaboration: Partner with the AI Agents team to expose simulation APIs, enabling agents to run experiments and gather data autonomously.
