Accountabilities

• Design, build, and operate core network infrastructure across multiple cloud providers and data center environments.
• Develop customer-facing networking capabilities that improve service connectivity, traffic routing, scalability, and deployment flexibility.
• Scale and optimize traffic routing systems, ingress platforms, load balancing solutions, and distributed networking services.
• Investigate and resolve complex networking and infrastructure issues across Linux networking layers, Kubernetes systems, distributed services, and edge environments.
• Improve platform reliability, security, and performance through profiling, tuning, monitoring, and architectural enhancements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to design stable, predictable, and scalable infrastructure solutions.
• Contribute to hybrid cloud and bare metal networking architecture, including transit, cross-cluster connectivity, and large-scale network operations.
• Participate in incident response and on-call rotations while continuously improving operational readiness and system resiliency.
• Support the evolution of next-generation compute and networking platforms through innovation and infrastructure modernization initiatives.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience building and operating large-scale networking, infrastructure, or distributed systems environments.
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes networking internals, including technologies such as kube-proxy, CNI plugins, service routing, or related container networking systems.
• Deep understanding of Linux networking concepts and production networking environments, including routing, iptables/nftables, conntrack, and related networking primitives.
• Experience designing and operating large-scale traffic routing systems, including load balancers, proxies, ingress systems, or edge networking platforms.
• Strong background in distributed systems architecture, debugging, reliability engineering, and infrastructure scalability.
• Proven ability to plan and execute high-risk infrastructure changes with minimal downtime and operational impact.
• Experience working in cloud-native environments with a strong understanding of infrastructure automation and systems reliability.
• Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose complex cross-system issues.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills in fast-paced, highly technical engineering environments.
• Experience with hybrid cloud or data center networking technologies such as BGP, AWS Direct Connect, Arista, or Juniper is a plus.
• Familiarity with eBPF, advanced Linux kernel networking, or low-level systems programming is a plus.
• Experience developing systems in Go or similar programming languages is beneficial.
