Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Director, Interconnection & Network Economics to own the architecture and economics of how Bitdeer's AI cloud connects to the rest of the world. You will decide what our border, interconnection and long-haul connectivity should be and what it should cost, from peering and Internet Exchange (IX) strategy and hyperscaler on-ramps to build-versus-lease decisions for data center interconnect (DCI).

• Own Bitdeer's traffic-exchange architecture and its delivered cost curve ($/Mbps, $/Gbps).
• Set the target interconnection architecture and cost model for our AI cloud and data center sites.
• Define and lead peering and IX strategy, including Bitdeer's public and private interconnection posture and IX participation.
• Represent Bitdeer in the peering and IX community.
• Set meet-me room (MMR) and border physical design standards.
• Design hyperscaler interconnect, including AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute and Google Cloud Interconnect.
• Lead build-versus-lease architecture and costing for DCI, metro transport and dark fiber.
• Model GPU-cluster SLA exposure at the border.
• Define Bitdeer's InfiniBand and RoCE posture at the north-south boundary.
• Contribute production InfiniBand and RoCEv2 experience to GPU cluster fabric design reviews.
• Advise on fabric performance standards affecting border design, cluster SLAs or cost.
• Select border platforms and recommend standards for approval and deployment.
• Advise on connectivity and GPU fabric incidents with architectural or cross-boundary root causes.

Qualifications

• 15+ years in network engineering and interconnection at internet, CDN, cloud or AI-infrastructure scale.
• Production accountability for edge connectivity and/or backbone optical transport supporting large-scale GPU or AI infrastructure across multiple data centers.

• Experience designing hyperscaler interconnect with cloud partners.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
