Requirements

B.S. in Computer Science, M.S. in Information Technology, or equivalent degree, with 15+ years of progressively responsible network engineering experience.
Significant experience architecting enterprise AI fabrics and Agentic NetDevOps orchestration layers for large-scale operations.
Extensive experience engineering multi-cloud network architectures across GCP, Azure, AWS, and OCI.
Demonstrated expertise maintaining large-scale Terraform module-based IaC architectures and implementing cloud FinOps through automated spend tracking and rightsizing.
Proven capability managing enterprise-scale centralized security governance, micro-segmentation, and Zero Trust implementations.
Experience orchestrating global software-defined WAN fabrics and bare-metal virtualization on KVM hypervisors to reduce legacy licensing costs.
U.S. citizen.

Nice To Haves

Experience engineering AIOps pipeline tools using Vertex AI and OpenAI to analyze infrastructure dependencies and auto-generate change tickets.
Strong background creating repeatable network isolation playbooks for M&A activities and rapid federated routing deployments.
Demonstrated success in large-scale migration engineering, securely moving active developer workloads and production systems to public cloud environments.
Ability to lead high-risk maintenance cutovers, standardize bare-metal branch footprints, and reduce site deployment times.

Responsibilities

Oversee architectural design of resilient multi-cloud environments using GCP networking fabrics, including Shared VPCs, Cloud Routers, and secure Cloud Interconnects, aligning controls and micro-segmentation with NIST 800-207 Zero Trust frameworks.
Automate global centralized security governance and policy distribution using Palo Alto Panorama, and deploy micro-segmented next-generation firewalls.
Direct technical architecture and systems engineering for automated enterprise infrastructure and an AI-first operational environment.
Architect and deploy production-grade Code Mode MCP servers across enterprise systems, including Netskope, BigFix, ServiceNow, Silverpeak, Aruba Central, Okta, and Palo Alto Panorama, to enable secure LLM interaction.
Build autonomous orchestration layers using the Agentic Community's MCP Gateway Registry, and establish agent identity management and permission scoping to enforce Zero Trust across AI-agent interactions.
Engineer and maintain centralized Terraform Infrastructure as Code libraries to govern cloud assets.
Implement automated rightsizing and spend tracking to optimize inference-compute costs and cloud-resource spending.
