Founded in 2016, the company created a radical new way to build networks that substantially improves the network’s economic model and optimizes its utilization and efficiency.\nDriveNets Network Cloud powers production networks for global tier-1 operators such as AT&T, Comcast and KDDI, and carries the majority of AT&T’s core backbone traffic. DriveNets AI Fabric, introduced in 2023, provides the highest-performance Ethernet-based AI networking solutions and the best Ethernet alternative to InfiniBand. It is used by hyperscalers, NeoClouds, and foundation model labs, and is sold in collaboration with partners like AMD and Broadcom. In June 2026, DriveNets closed a $410 million Series D round, bringing its total capital raised to $1 billion. The company has more than $1 billion in secured business.\nThe Role\nNetworking solution track: You define the NOS networking behavior, specifically the routing protocols and the data path application. This requires understanding network processor (NP) capabilities and how the NOS data path software uses them.\nResponsibilities\nArchitecture and specification\nDefine system requirements and lead architectural design across the routing, data path and infrastructure domains.\nDefine management interfaces (YANG, CLI config and show commands, SNMP, system events), operational behavior, and scale and HA expectations.\nOwn each spec from requirement through implementation, and maintain the architecture docs for your areas.\nAI SDLC\nOwn the SysArch stage of Product → SysArch → Dev → QA.\nWrite specs, harness context and acceptance criteria so epics can run through the AI pipeline.\nTechnical leadership\nDrive spec and design reviews, and guide engineers through design decisions.\nEstablish design standards that improve resilience, security and efficiency at scale.\nEnsure cross-domain consistency: review interactions such as memory management and HA, upgrades, and data path/HAL, and keep CLI and YANG conventions uniform.\nLead work groups, analyze and presents complex topics clearly to engineering, Product management and customers.\nCustomer and product\nTranslate product strategy and requirements into engineering specs, and help prioritize them.\nEngage directly with customers to present the NOS architecture.\nUnderstand customer asks and translate them into architecture options, with effort and risk assessments for Product.\nRequirements\nMandatory skills \nBSc in CS or EE.\n4-5 years as a software technical leader, plus 2-3 years in system architecture.\nProven record of leading technical efforts across teams in a matrix organization.\nStrong analytical thinking and problem-solving capabilities.\nStrong presentation skills, both with customers and internally.\nHands-on use of agentic AI flows for research, spec writing and review.\nNetworking track: routing and data path\nKnowledge of L2/L3 routing and data path (for example QoS and ACL).\nData modeling knowledge.\nNetwork processor (NP) experience (major advantage).\nAdvantages\nExperience at telco or networking companies (major advantage).\nSoftware development experience on highly complex systems.\nFamiliarity with both AI data-center and service-provider network architectures, since the platform serves both.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3375,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network
