About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own cloud networking across the engineering organization.
Architect, build, and operate the network foundation that our platform and product teams depend on.
Set the technical direction for cloud networking as we scale.
Design and deploy IPv6-native VPC architecture.
Define the long-term strategy for network connectivity across cloud providers.
Establish standards for cloud networking decisions and raise the networking competency of engineers around you.
Take over the existing network and design its successor — a deliberate, modern architecture.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Deep, hands-on AWS networking expertise — you've designed and operated AWS networking in production at scale and can serve as the authority on it
Strong, vendor-agnostic networking fundamentals: IP addressing and subnetting (IPv4 and IPv6), routing, DNS, TCP/IP, BGP, and NAT — the kind of foundation that transfers cleanly to any cloud provider
A demonstrated history of setting technical direction across an organization — influencing without authority, establishing standards, and leveling up the teams around you
Comfort being the first specialist in a domain: defining the practice, making the foundational decisions, and bringing others along rather than inheriting an established playbook
Demonstrated experience with IPv6 in a cloud or large network environment — not just familiarity, but having actually deployed and troubleshot it
Production experience with core cloud networking primitives — VPCs, transit/peering, IPAM, and private connectivity — on AWS, and ideally on at least one other provider
Experience with private DNS in Route 53; familiarity with public DNS management (Cloudflare or similar) a plus
Kubernetes networking experience, ideally with EKS, including CNI behavior and how addressing works at the pod, service, and ingress levels
Infrastructure-as-code proficiency (Terraform or equivalent) and comfort working in a code-reviewed, GitOps-style workflow
Ability to operate independently, drive architectural decisions, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to both engineers and senior stakeholders.
