About the Role:

  • Our IT Network Engineering team designs, builds, and operates the enterprise network across offices, data centers, and AWS.

You'll be accountable for availability, performance, and security across a multi vendor stack. On call is required.

  • Design and implement network changes across Bay Area sites and global locations (campus, data center, WAN/SD WAN, remote access, cloud interconnects).
  • Architect and operate AWS networking: multi account VPCs, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, VPN, endpoints/PrivateLink, Route 53, ALB/NLB, security groups/NACLs, segmentation guardrails.
  • Build infrastructure as code (Terraform): reusable modules, CI/CD pipelines, automated pre/post change validation, drift detection.
  • Lead advanced L2–L7 troubleshooting; drive incidents to resolution and root cause across on prem and AWS.
  • Apply SRE practices: define SLIs/SLOs/alerts, participate in and lead on call, run incident response and postmortems, maintain runbooks and dashboards.
  • Partner with Security, SRE/Infra, Workplace, and other IT teams; lead design reviews and cross functional projects.
  • Document architectures and operational procedures; mentor junior engineers.
  • Primary platforms:
  • AWS

  • Infoblox (DNS/DHCP/IPAM, API automation)
  • Tooling: Terraform, Git/GitHub, Ansible/Nornir, Python/Go, CloudWatch, Datadog (or similar)


How you'll measure success:

  • Reliability: higher availability and lower MTTR for campus/core/AWS connectivity via defined SLIs/SLOs.
  • Safe velocity: automated, tested IaC pipelines; fewer change‑related incidents and less toil.
  • Delivery: on‑time multi‑site upgrades and AWS networking projects that move team OKRs.
  • Enablement: durable docs/runbooks and mentorship that uplevel the team.




Requirements:

  • 5+ years designing and operating large scale enterprise networks across hybrid environments (offices, data centers, AWS).
  • Deep L2/L3: BGP, OSPF/IS IS, EVPN/VXLAN, routing policy, HA, QoS, NAT; strong packet level troubleshooting.
  • Hands on AWS networking (VPC, TGW, DX, VPN, Route 53, ALB/NLB, endpoints/PrivateLink, Flow Logs) and security guardrails.
  • Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Panorama: policy design, segmentation, GlobalProtect, threat services.
  • Juniper campus/data center and Cisco Meraki at scale; strong Cisco Wi Fi design/operations.
  • IaC and automation: Terraform modules, code reviews, CI/CD; Python or Go; Ansible/Nornir; device/cloud APIs.
  • Observability and SRE fundamentals: SLIs/SLOs, alerting, incident response/on call, postmortems, runbooks.
