TL;DR · Director, Network Engineering

As Director, Network Engineering, you will provide leadership for one or more teams delivering hyperscale L3/L4 networking and cloud connectivity. You will manage the physical network platform lifecycle, including planning, sourcing, and sustaining routers, switches, optics, and cabling to ensure reliable, secure, and cost-efficient services at scale. Your daily responsibilities include defining multi-quarter architecture roadmaps for DC fabrics, routing policies, and IPv6 strategies while overseeing cloud networking implementations like VPC/VCN topologies and transit peering. You will drive automation through Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines while managing telemetry data such as SNMP, NetFlow, and IPFIX to monitor SLIs and SLOs. The role requires expertise in EVPN, VXLAN, SDN upgrades, and zero-trust security frameworks to solve complex problems regarding network reliability, capacity planning, and infrastructure modernization across multi-cloud environments.

What you'll do

  • Define multi-quarter architecture roadmaps for DC fabrics, routing policies, IPv6 strategy, and traffic engineering across regions.
  • Lead cross-team design reviews and modernization programs for EVPN, VXLAN, and SDN upgrades.
  • Standardize cloud networking topologies including VPC/VCN, transit peering, and multi-cloud connectivity.
  • Implement zero-trust security frameworks, policy-as-code, and audit readiness programs to reduce technical debt.
  • Institutionalize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and GitOps workflows while tracking DORA metrics.
  • Establish SLI/SLO policies and manage telemetry pipelines for capacity, performance, and security analytics.
  • Manage the physical network platform lifecycle including planning, sourcing, and sustaining routers, switches, and cabling.
  • Oversee team budgets, project timelines, and resource allocation to meet strategic business objectives.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 10+ years of experience in network engineering or related fields.
  • Must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Experience managing teams delivering hyperscale L3/L4 networking and cloud connectivity.
  • Ability to manage budgets and oversee the physical network platform lifecycle including routers, switches, and optics.
  • Expertise in designing multi-quarter architecture roadmaps for DC fabrics, routing policy, and IPv6 strategy.
  • Proficiency in cloud networking implementations such as VPC/VCN topologies, transit/peering, and load balancing.
  • Experience implementing security controls, zero-trust frameworks, and policy-as-code.
  • Ability to lead automation initiatives using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines.
