About the Company
DriveNets is a leader in large-scale networking solutions for AI infrastructure and service providers. The company's disaggregated networking architecture transforms the economics of large-scale infrastructures while maximizing performance, utilization, and operational efficiency. Its high-performance AI fabric maximizes GPU utilization and accelerates deployments by optimizing the AI stack end-to-end, resulting in higher tokens-per-second and lower cost-per-token. DriveNets' solutions power production networks for global tier-1 operators like AT&T and Comcast, and scale multi-vendor AI infrastructures at foundation model labs, NeoClouds, and enterprises.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate the internal engineering platform powering DriveNets' build, test, deployment, and security validation workflows at scale
- Write and maintain production-grade Python and shell tooling that drives platform automation — this is a hands-on coding role, not just pipeline configuration
- Architect and manage hybrid cloud/on-prem execution infrastructure, including large-scale Kubernetes runner pools across multiple AWS regions
- Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines at scale using GitHub Actions, including reusable workflows, ARC-based runner orchestration, and build caching strategies (BuildKit, sccache, Valkey)
- Operate and tune DinD environments (Sysbox, EBS/NVMe, overlay storage, MTU/networking) for build, test, and release workloads
- Connect and manage self-hosted and on-prem runners, routing physical device (wbox) test jobs by site and device type
- Implement DevSecOps controls including least-privilege IAM, OIDC, isolated runner groups, container signing, and automated security scans
- Drive platform observability, cost optimization, and reliability improvements across the engineering infrastructure
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hundreds of engineers to improve engineering velocity and release confidence
- Take end-to-end ownership of complex infrastructure problems and drive them to resolution
RequirementsTechnical Skills
- 5+ years of hands-on DevOps experience with a strong software development background — prior development experience is a must
- B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- Strong programming skills in Python (or a similar high-level language); ability to write and own production tooling
- Proven experience designing and building scalable systems, automation frameworks, and infrastructure as code using Terraform and Helm
- Solid understanding of Linux, containers (Docker), and Git-based workflows
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD at scale using GitHub Actions or similar — including reusable actions, workflow design, and automation frameworks
- Deep experience with hybrid cloud infrastructure (AWS and on-prem), including EKS, ARC, Karpenter, ECR, S3, Direct Connect, VPC endpoints, IAM/OIDC, and Secrets Manager
- Experience operating spot and on-demand runner pools for builds, DinD tests, releases, and security scans across multiple AWS regions
- Experience with DinD environments (Sysbox, EBS/NVMe, memory limits, overlay storage, MTU/networking) and build caching (BuildKit, sccache, Valkey)
- Experience connecting on-prem/self-hosted runners and routing physical device (wbox) test jobs by site and device type
- Experience implementing DevSecOps controls and improving platform observability, cost efficiency, and reliability
- Platform & tooling familiarity: Kubernetes (EKS, on-prem) · GitHub Actions · ARC · Karpenter · Terraform · Helm · Docker/DinD · Sysbox · containerd · BuildKit · ECR · S3 · ElastiCache (Valkey) · sccache · Direct Connect · VPC endpoints · IAM/OIDC · Secrets Manager · self-hosted runners
Soft Skills
- Strong system-level thinking and troubleshooting skills; able to diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure issues independently

What We Do
DriveNets is a rapidly growing software company that has created a radical new way for service providers and hyperscalers to build their networking infrastructure. DriveNets Network Cloud and DriveNets Network Cloud-AI are new innovative networking solutions that apply the cloud architectural approach to high-scale networking. They bring together the scalability of standard Ethernet Clos architecture with the high performance and reliability of service provider networking, delivering optimal networking performance, scale and cost structure for service providers and hyperscalers. Founded by Ido Susan and Hillel Kobrinsky, two successful telco entrepreneurs, DriveNets Network Cloud is the leading open disaggregated networking solution based on cloud-native software running over standard white boxes. Over three funding rounds, DriveNets raised $587 million. Its solutions are used by tens of service providers globally and are in proof-of-concept and lab trials at dozens of operators and hyperscalers, consistently ranking #1 in trials for breadth of capabilities and solution quality. AT&T, the largest backbone in the US, deployed DriveNets Network Cloud across its core network, and DriveNets is currently transporting more than 52% of AT&T’s core network traffic. DriveNets is engaged with over 100 Tier-1 operators and cloud-providers on large projects in North America, Asia and Europe.
