Lead automation-first network delivery using Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD pipelines
Develop reusable network modules, templates, and standardized connectivity patterns
Ensure secure network design through segmentation, encryption, and policy enforcement
Own lifecycle management of network platforms, including modernization and technical debt reduction
Drive high availability, scalability, and operational reliability across network services
Provide technical consultation and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions
Lead and contribute to engineering initiatives that drive platform improvements and delivery outcomes
Provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure high-quality, scalable network solutions

Experience designing and implementing VPC and VNet architectures, including cloud-to-cloud and on-premises-to-cloud connectivity
Deep experience securing complex network architectures across on-premises and cloud environments
Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred)
Experience automating network configuration. Familiarity with Ansible for infrastructure automation is a plus
Familiarity with DevOps/GitOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
Nice to have:
Experience with DevOps tooling such as Azure DevOps
Familiarity deploying and operating containerized workloads using Kubernetes (AKS preferred), including cluster networking, ingress, service mesh, and policy enforcement
Who you are:
A hands-on engineer who takes ownership and drives complex problems to resolution
Someone who values automation, standardization, and durable engineering practices
Comfortable making architectural decisions and working across design and delivery
Focused on building secure, reliable, and scalable solutions in complex environments
An effective partner who works well across teams, functions, and regions
