Work closely with IaaS, SRE/Observability, Security, Automation/Data, Platform, Service Delivery, and product teams.
Requirements
What You Bring:
Senior production networking experience in environments where availability matters.
Strong BGP and routing fundamentals: prefix filtering, communities, route policy, failover, BFD or similar mechanisms, asymmetric routing, traffic steering, and debugging.
Strong IPsec, VPN, and site-to-site connectivity experience, ideally with strongSwan or similar tooling.
Deep Linux networking knowledge: iproute2, tcpdump, nftables/iptables, conntrack, system networking, DNS behavior, NIC/offload basics, and MTU/MSS troubleshooting.
Network observability and performance mindset: telemetry, flow logs, synthetic checks, bandwidth and latency analysis, packet loss, jitter, saturation, and provider or appliance limits.
Network security operations: segmentation, firewall rule lifecycle, least privilege, AAA concepts, secrets handling, and safe maintenance-window discipline.
Comfort with infrastructure automation using scripting, APIs, Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu, Git-based reviews, repeatable rollouts, and configuration validation.
Clear written communication in remote and asynchronous teams: change plans, incident updates, runbooks, risk statements, rollback plans, and owner/date commitments.
Sound judgment under uncertainty: you can make bounded decisions, but you verify production impact and blast radius before acting.
