Application fal is the generative media ecosystem powering the next generation of AI products. We build the infrastructure, tools, and model access that teams need to move from idea to production, and do it at scale without compromise. For developers and enterprises, fal is the foundation that makes generative media not just possible, but practical: a unified platform where high-performance inference, orchestration, and observability come together to unlock new categories of AI-native products.
As generative media reshapes industries across a market projected to grow by hundreds of billions over the next decade, fal is becoming the ecosystem that ambitious teams build on.
🏢 About fal
You will build the public and private network infrastructure connecting all of fal's data centers and cloud environments, supporting both our public serverless platform and custom compute clusters. The scope includes internet routing, private connectivity, overlay networks, DNS, IP address management, cloud-provider integration, and high-performance Linux networking.
🎯 The Role
You will work across the networking stack — from BGP announcements and private peering to kernel-level performance tuning. The goal is to make our network fast, reliable, secure, isolated, and easy to operate.
✅ Key Responsibilities
Design, build, validate, and operate public and private networks across the public platform and private compute clusters
Use AI aggressively to automate and accelerate network provisioning, configuration, validation, monitoring, and recovery
Manage ASNs, public IP prefixes, and private address space (allocation, registration, announcement, lifecycle)
Build and operate BGP routing: route policies, communities, filtering, traffic engineering, and failover
Announce customer and company IP ranges from physical infrastructure and cloud providers, including BYOIP integrations
Establish private peering with customers, partners, data centers, internet exchanges, and cloud providers
Build private and overlay networks using VXLAN, IPsec, WireGuard, and Tailscale
Operate DNS networking patterns including anycast DNS and mDNS
Tune the Linux networking stack for high throughput, low latency, and large connection counts
Build network observability and diagnostics using metrics, logs, flow data, active probes, and packet captures
Develop reusable tooling, standards, documentation, and runbooks
Collaborate with customers and internal teams to translate connectivity, security, isolation, and performance requirements into sound network designs
📌 Required Qualifications
5+ years building and operating production network infrastructure
