## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Design and deliver network infrastructure across DNS, edge, ingress, and service mesh
- Build tooling and abstractions that let other engineering teams provision and manage their own networking needs
- Ensure the network is observable, hardened, and resilient by default
- Deliver network stack projects end-to-end (service mesh, DNS, ingress/egress, CDN, edge protection, L4/L7 policy)
- Shape technical vision, execute delivery, and maintain operability
- Integrate networking into self-service platforms, streamlining workflows and enabling engineering teams to operate independently
- Participate in the on-call rotation, driving incident resolution and continuous improvement through postmortem analysis
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners in security, platform, and product engineering
- Foster a collaborative team culture by conducting design reviews, sharing knowledge, and mentoring

## Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with cloud networking and distributed systems at SaaS or similar scale
- Deep knowledge of internet architecture and modern web services (DNS, CDN, WAF, Load Balancing, Ingress, Service Mesh)
- Proficiency in Go (or similar languages) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- Experience building reliable, observable platforms, defining SLIs/SLOs, and establishing these practices as team standards
- On-call experience, including incident resolution and driving architectural improvements through postmortems
- Consistently apply a security-first approach, implementing least-privilege policies, ensuring encryption in transit, and evaluating attack surfaces

## Nice-to-Haves
- Experience designing self-service network abstractions (DNS provisioning, ingress configuration, network policy tooling)
- Experience with CDN, edge protection (cache strategy, WAF, origin shielding), VPNs, and wide-area connectivity in cloud environments
- Familiarity with tools like Envoy, Linkerd, Cloudfront, or Cloudflare
- Open source contributions and experience applying compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) to networking and policy as code
