Senior Network Engineer

The Network Engineering team owns that connectivity end to end — cloud network architecture, transit, egress, load balancing, and the infrastructure-as-code that defines all of it.

We are a cloud-first, GitOps-driven team. Our network is not configured by hand; it is written, reviewed, and deployed as code. We're seeking a Senior Cloud Network Engineer who is expert at networking and fluent in the tooling and practices of a modern platform engineering organization.

• Continually create and pioneer automation and configuration management using development best practices.
• Design, implement, document, and evolve best practices for system installation, configuration, troubleshooting, monitoring, and Incident response.
• Participate in vendor and purchasing decisions.
