Cloud Networking Architect
About The Position
We are seeking a Cloud Networking Engineer to design, deploy, and operate cloud networking infrastructure across one or more major cloud providers. The role covers VPC/VNet design, hybrid connectivity, transit topologies, edge networking, DNS, and the security controls that make cloud networking reliable and safe at scale. The ideal candidate combines deep traditional networking knowledge with cloud-native networking patterns, has built production cloud networks at meaningful scale, and brings strong automation discipline to networking work. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.
