Job description

Overview

Microsoft AI is hiring a Member of Technical Staff - AI Networking to design and scale the world’s most advanced high-performance networks powering Copilot and next-generation AI systems. Join the team building the fabric that connects frontier-class datacenters, enables multi-gigawatt AI supercomputers, and supports the training of the most sophisticated AI models on the planet. 

In our efforts to build these models to develop novel responsible and efficient artificial general intelligence, large compute-capacity is required, and as an AI Networking Engineer, you’ll shape the end-to-end networking architecture, link-layer to fabric-wide systems for hyperscale AI training clusters. design, bring up, and scale the distributed Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics that connect hundreds of thousands of GPUs across multi-megawatt data halls. You’ll benchmark, profile, debug and tune the training and inference of AI workloads running in the production clusters. You’ll engineer ultra-low-latency ROCE networks, design congestion-free transport mechanisms, optimize lossless fabrics at 10k–100k+ GPU scale, and partner deeply across Azure, Microsoft AI, and datacenter teams to turn cutting-edge ideas into running global infrastructure. If you want to build networking systems that push physics, silicon, and software to the limit and directly accelerate Microsoft’s frontier AI models, this is the most exciting seat in the industry.

Microsoft AI
Our mission is to build AI that amplifies human potential and empowers people around the world. We strive to deliver breakthroughs that advance science, education, productivity, and global well-being.
We’re also fortunate to partner with incredible product teams giving our models the chance to reach billions of users and create immense positive impact. If you’re a brilliant, highly-ambitious and low ego individual, you’ll fit right in—come and join us as we work on our next generation of models!
