As a Director of Software Engineering- Core Global WAN, you will join the Core Global Wide Area Network team to lead the architecture and engineering required to consolidate multiple network environments into a unified global platform. You will define technical strategies for carrier-scale routing, segment routing, traffic engineering, and path optimization while translating complex architectures into executable plans for design, certification, and production rollout. Your daily work involves building software-defined capabilities to automate configuration, monitoring, and operational workflows using Python, Go, and infrastructure as code. You will also implement telemetry, automated validation frameworks, and enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence for anomaly detection and predictive analysis. The role focuses on modernizing global connectivity services by solving challenges in network resiliency, capacity management, and large-scale migration within a complex telecommunications backbone environment.

What you'll do

  • Lead the multiyear transformation of multiple wide area networks into a unified global network platform.
  • Define technical strategies for carrier-scale routing, segment routing, traffic engineering, and network resiliency.
  • Translate complex network architectures into executable plans for design, certification, migration, and production rollout.
  • Develop software-defined capabilities to automate network configuration, route validation, and operational workflows.
  • Create pre-change and post-change validation frameworks to identify configuration issues and routing anomalies.
  • Integrate enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence for anomaly detection, predictive analysis, and automated engineering reviews.
  • Establish engineering standards and guardrails for automation and AI-assisted workflows to ensure security and auditability.
  • Improve global network stability through telemetry, incident management, and proactive remediation of repeat issues.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification in software engineering, infrastructure engineering, network engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • 10+ years of applied experience in the field.
  • Extensive experience designing, engineering, or operating large-scale global wide area networks, telecommunications backbones, or cloud networks.
  • Deep knowledge of MPLS, segment routing, BGP, traffic engineering, routing policy, network resiliency, and capacity management.
  • Advanced knowledge of network automation and software-defined infrastructure with programming experience in Python, Go, or similar languages.
  • Experience developing solutions using APIs, infrastructure as code, CI/CD practices, configuration management, and automated testing.
  • Experience applying enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence capabilities within technical workflows including validation and sensitive data handling.
  • Experience at a telecommunications provider, hyperscale technology company, or cloud provider (preferred); hands-on experience with Arista and Cisco technologies (preferred).
