Network Engineer 4 ((Cloud Operations Resilience Engineering)
About The Position
Capital One is seeking a Network Engineer to help drive a major technology transformation by building and operating resilient enterprise and cloud network ecosystems. The role covers end-to-end connectivity architecture, security, operational frameworks, and automation across vendor platforms, cloud environments, and in-house software. It spans campus, WAN/SD-WAN, colocation facilities, data centers, cloud, and SaaS-fronted services. The engineer will own network architecture and lifecycle across connectivity, security, and automation layers; establish design standards for routing, security segmentation, and inter-cloud traffic; and use software development practices to build configuration frameworks for deployment, change, and maintenance. The role also leads critical incident response and root-cause analysis, partners with Cloud, Security, and SRE teams on observability and self-healing automation, and mentors engineers in networking, reliability, and automation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Engineering, or at least 6 years of experience in network engineering, including management of network systems.
- At least 6 years of experience with routing protocols, including BGP, link-state protocols, and tunneling protocols.
- At least 6 years of experience with network encapsulation technologies, including LANs, virtual LANs, overlay networks, and network fabrics.
- At least 6 years of experience with physical network devices.
- At least 6 years of experience designing, implementing, and maintaining network infrastructure.
Nice To Haves
- Proficiency designing, deploying, and managing complex hybrid cloud environments, including IaaS/PaaS and cloud efficiency.
- Deep practical knowledge of SRE principles and methodologies focused on reliability, availability, and performance.
- Mastery of modern observability stacks and open-source monitoring tools for proactive alerting, trend analysis, and capacity planning.
- Expertise provisioning and managing infrastructure through code using frameworks such as Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.
- Advanced skills in Kubernetes, service meshes, and the broader cloud-native ecosystem.
- Strong understanding of cloud security best practices, architecture patterns, and compliance standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
- Professional certifications such as CCNP Enterprise, JNCIP, or AWS Advanced Networking Specialty.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, focused on resolving critical network issues efficiently.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders or customers.
- Experience collaborating across engineering domains such as security, compute, storage, and cloud to deliver resilient, performant systems.
- Experience using AI-driven tooling to automate network operations, improve network reliability and performance, or optimize network capacity and cost.
Responsibilities
- Architect and design end-to-end connectivity systems, including their security and operational frameworks.
- Apply software development practices to shape how upstream systems, such as deployment automation, interact with running systems, and build software-adapted configuration frameworks for deployment, change, and maintenance.
- Define and drive implementation standards across vendor platforms, cloud environments, and in-house software.
- Define implementation patterns for protocol frameworks across campus, WAN/SD-WAN, colocation facilities, data centers, cloud, and SaaS-fronted services.
- Own the architecture and lifecycle of enterprise and cloud network ecosystems across connectivity, security, and automation layers.
- Develop and enforce design standards and best practices for routing, security segmentation, and inter-cloud traffic flow.
- Lead critical incident response and ensure root-cause analysis produces durable reliability improvements.
- Partner with Cloud, Security, and SRE teams to define cross-platform observability, telemetry, and self-healing automation.
- Mentor and upskill engineers in advanced networking, reliability, and automation principles.
Benefits
- Comprehensive, competitive, and inclusive health, financial, and other benefits supporting total well-being.
- Eligibility for performance-based incentive compensation, which may include cash bonuses and/or long-term incentives.
