About the Role : Staff Cloud Network Architect

The Staff Cloud Network Architect is a strategic, customer-facing technical role responsible for ensuring the success of enterprise customers operating Aviatrix in production environments. As the primary technical point of contact, the Staff Cloud Network Architect partners closely with customers to understand their architecture, guide best practices, and drive long-term platform adoption and health. This is not a sales role and focuses on customer outcomes and operational excellence.

## Key Responsibilities

- Serve as the dedicated technical point of contact for assigned enterprise customers, owning architecture design, deployment oversight, and operational excellence across their Aviatrix deployments.
- Design and validate multi-cloud network architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) including transit networks, hub-and-spoke topologies, segmentation, and inter-cloud connectivity.
- Design and implement cloud network security architectures using Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall, including microsegmentation policies, security domains, and Zero Trust network access controls.
- Lead quarterly business and technical reviews with customer stakeholders ranging from network engineers to C-level executives, identifying optimization opportunities and demonstrating platform value.
- Act as the technical escalation point for critical incidents, driving rapid resolution while coordinating with Aviatrix TAC and Engineering teams.
- Proactively identify risks, gaps, and adoption opportunities within customer environments, then drive implementation of solutions that unlock full platform value.
- Relay customer feedback, feature requests, and product gaps to Aviatrix Product and Engineering teams, serving as the internal voice of the customer.

## Requirements/Qualifications

- 8+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise networking, cloud networking, or network security roles within production environments.
- Demonstrated expertise with at least two major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI), including VPC/VNet design, transit gateways, routing, and hybrid connectivity solutions.
- Strong foundation in BGP, SD-WAN, MPLS, and hybrid cloud connectivity technologies such as AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, or Google Cloud Interconnect.
- Hands-on experience designing and implementing network security architectures using NGFWs, IDS/IPS systems, microsegmentation, and Zero Trust network access principles.
- Proficiency with infrastructure automation and scripting using Python, Terraform, or Ansible for network provisioning and configuration management.
- Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Splunk, or Datadog applied to network and security telemetry.
- Familiarity with cloud security compliance frameworks including SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for audiences ranging from network engineers to executive stakeholders.

## Nice to Have

- Hands-on experience with Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF), including smart groups, security domains, stateful inspection, and policy enforcement.
- Prior experience in a customer success, solutions engineering, or technical advisory role for enterprise infrastructure or security platforms.
- Certifications in cloud platforms (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator) or security (CISSP, CEH) that demonstrate advanced networking and security expertise.
- Experience integrating and managing third-party network security solutions such as Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, or Check Point within multi-cloud environments.
- Demonstrated expertise in designing and implementing SD-WAN or network segmentation solutions at scale within enterprise organizations.

## About Aviatrix

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Aviatrix provides a cloud-native security fabric that embeds zero trust directly into the cloud network to secure workload communication across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and data centers.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Secondary Market; backed by $340.8M total funding, last round Series E led by TCV)
- **Headquarters**: Santa Clara, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2013
- **Founders**: Not publicly listed on company site or major sources

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Cloud Network Security, Cloud Infrastructure, Cybersecurity
- Target customers: Large enterprises (500+ customers, including 10% of the Fortune 500), financial services, healthcare, retail, government, and AI-forward organizations.
- Mission: To secure every workload communication path across every cloud, every VPC, every Kubernetes cluster, and every serverless function from a single policy plane — enabling zero-trust security without network bottlenecks.

## Products & Services
- **Aviatrix Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF)**: A distributed, perimeterless security architecture that unifies visibility, policy enforcement, and threat detection across multi-cloud environments. Includes agentless, in-line microsegmentation and AI-driven anomaly detection.
- **Aviatrix Cloud Firewall**: A next-gen cloud firewall that embeds zero trust at the workload layer using AI insights for detection, automated protection, and predictable costs.
- **AI Workload Protection**: Secure, optimize, and monitor GenAI and agentic AI workloads — including high-speed encrypted data mobility for training and inference.
- **Application Modernization Security**: Security for Kubernetes, serverless, and containerized apps without adding complexity or IP address burden.
- **Secure Datacenter Edge**: Extends the CNSF to hybrid environments for real-time protection, compliance, and high-speed AI security.
- **Compliance & Visibility Modules**: Real-time flow maps, unified logs, automated compliance reports for HIPAA, financial regulations, and FedRAMP-like frameworks.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (Private company; last funding round was $200M Series E in 2021)
- **Key Metric**: $33M annual revenue (as of latest data). Total funding: $340.8M across 6 rounds.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: TCV (lead, Series E), General Catalyst (lead, Series D), CRV (lead, Series C), Monta Vista Capital (seed). Ecosystem partners include Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft Security Copilot, and Wiz.
- **Growth Signals**: 500+ enterprise customers; 314 employees (with ~44% in the US and 22% in India); 28 active job postings (+86.7% YoY growth in job postings); headcount declined ~17.8% YoY (likely a strategic restructuring to focus on core verticals). Recent move into AI workload protection and partnerships with OISF (Open Information Security Foundation) for open-source threat detection.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Agentless & In-line**: Policy enforcement occurs at the workload layer without requiring agents or application changes — reducing friction for DevOps teams.
- **Single Policy Plane**: One policy rule propagates universally across all cloud providers, eliminating the complexity of managing separate policies in each cloud environment.
- **AI-Powered Detection**: Real-time traffic analysis uses AI to detect and stop data exfiltration and C2 communication.
- **High-Performance Encryption**: Patented line-rate encryption that meets the strict compliance needs of FinServ, Healthcare, and government.
- **Cloud-Native Architecture**: Built for multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, data center, and edge) with IaC/GitOps support — avoids bolt-on legacy firewall approaches.

## Strategic Focus
- **AI Security**: Protecting GenAI and agentic AI workloads is a clear growth priority, including secure data mobility for training/inference.
- **Zero Trust Everywhere**: Expanding enforcement to Kubernetes, serverless, and hybrid environments.
- **Compliance Automation**: Simplifying compliance for regulated industries (HIPAA, financial regulations) through built-in encryption, segmentation, and policy enforcement.
- **Ecosystem Integration**: Deepening partnerships with existing security leaders (Palo Alto, Wiz, Microsoft) while maintaining its own CNSF as the unifying security layer.
- **Open Source Engagement**: Joining OISF to advance open-source threat detection inside the cloud.

## Why Work Here
