      DriveNets is a leader in cloud-native networking software for Hyperscalers and service providers who are building the largest infrastructures in the world for network services and AI platforms. Founded in December 2015, DriveNets disrupted some of the most challenging high-scale markets, transforming the way Networks are built, scaled, and consumed. We also built the largest network in the world, with more than half of AT&T’s backbone running on DriveNets’ Network Cloud. DriveNets has raised $587 million in three funding rounds which enable us to dream big and bring on the most talented people.

      The Role

      We are looking for a hands-on Architect and to own the end-to-end architecture and technical direction of our multi-tenant, cloud-native network automation platform.

      responsibilities

      • Defining reusable microservices, YANG/SID-based data models, REST/gRPC APIs, and event-driven workflows
      • Translating complex business and operational requirements into intent-based automation and closed-loop operations
      • Leading design reviews and mentoring cross-functional squads (Dev, DevOps, QA)
      • Delivering reference implementations, PoCs, and reusable design blueprints
      • Embedding industry standards such as TM Forum ODA, OpenAPI, OpenConfig, NetConf/gNMI
      • Promoting best practices around security-by-design, observability, and reliability (SRE principles)
      • Engaging directly with customers in early-stage discussions and architecture deep-dives
      • Capturing customer requirements and feeding them into the product roadmap
      • Defining policy-driven workflows for provisioning, drift remediation, and zero-touch operations
      • Building analytics pipelines using streaming telemetry, AI/ML, and rules engines
      • Working with product managers to break epics into stories and overseeing delivery through CI/CD and test automation

      Requirements

      • 6+ years designing large-scale IP/MPLS or data-center networks
      • 3+ years focused on network automation
      • Expert knowledge of NetConf/YANG, gNMI, or REST/JSON-RPC network APIs.
      • Proven track record architecting micro-service or SaaS platforms on Kubernetes, Docker, Helm.
      • Proficiency with automation frameworks (Ansible, Terraform, Salt) and CI/CD (Git, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).
      • Solid understanding of observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and message buses (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
      • Ability to convert complex requirements into clear design artifacts (sequence diagrams, data-flow, ERDs).
      • Excellent communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.

      Nice to have

      • Experience implementing TM Forum ODA/SID/Open API or 3GPP network-slice management.
      • Familiarity with DriveNets Network Cloud or disaggregated routing architectures.
      • Hands-on with AI/ML pipelines (TensorFlow, PyTorch) for anomaly detection or predictive maintenance.
