Senior Network Engineer

Summary

Designs and maintains AWS cloud networks (Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, BGP, VPNs) using IaC (Terraform) and GitOps, focusing on Palo Alto, Aviatrix, and Cisco infrastructure.

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.

  • Regularly provide training and support for new methods, tools, and patterns.

  • Build tools, frameworks, and projects that improve productivity for colleagues.

  • Set a positive example throughout the company for quality and responsibility.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of experience in production network engineering

  • Technical Lead experience or Senior Engineering level experience

  • Be self-directed and results/goal oriented.

  • Ability to demonstrate mature, solid, timely, and professional problem-solving, analytical and technical troubleshooting skills

  • Written and oral communication skills sufficient to communicate effectively with technical/non-technical employees, senior management, and external partners/customers.

  • Excellent planning, organizational and documentation skills

  • Ability to install networking equipment.

  • Available for on-call rotation

Desired Experience or Skills:

  • Industry Recognized Certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, PCNSE, AWS Advanced Networking, etc)

  • Experience within a SaaS organization.
