About The Position

The Core Network Engineering team designs, builds, and operates secure, automated network infrastructure that delivers reliable end-to-end connectivity across global data centers and multi-cloud environments. This role offers the opportunity to shape how connectivity is built and operated across one of the largest and most complex hybrid environments in the industry. We are a globally distributed engineering team looking for someone who is equally comfortable working across on-premises and cloud networking. You will solve complex connectivity challenges, partner closely with development and infrastructure teams, and help build the standard patterns that support growth, resilience, and speed across the platform. At its core, this role is about building and scaling automated, end-to-end connectivity across data centers, cloud platforms, and external integrations. As a Network Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of hybrid connectivity solutions, drive automation-first engineering practices, and establish standard patterns that improve scalability, resilience, and speed of delivery. As a Network Engineer focused on end-to-end connectivity and automation, you will: Own the design and delivery of end-to-end network connectivity across multi-cloud, data center, and third-party environments Define and implement scalable, resilient network architecture patterns for global hybrid environments Design and deliver connectivity solutions for cloud-to-cloud, on-premises, and external client/vendor integrations Lead automation-first network delivery using Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD pipelines Develop reusable network modules, templates, and standardized connectivity patterns Ensure secure network design through segmentation, encryption, and policy enforcement Own lifecycle management of network platforms, including modernization and technical debt reduction Drive high availability, scalability, and operational reliability across network services Provide technical consultation and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions Lead and contribute to engineering initiatives that drive platform improvements and delivery outcomes Provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure high-quality, scalable network solutions Drive continuous improvement of networking services, standards, and engineering practices
