- Build platform capabilities for service communication, routing, traffic management, segmentation, and observability
- Extend and improve APIs and services that make networking capabilities reliable and self-service
- Design systems for safe configuration, policy enforcement, traffic rollout, and failure recovery
- Own and improve the reliability, scalability, and observability of networking and traffic management systems
- Lead debugging of complex connectivity and traffic issues across application, Kubernetes, cloud, and network boundaries
- Drive architectural direction and networking standards while collaborating across Infrastructure, Security, and product engineering teams

## What we’re looking for

- 9+ years of experience in software, infrastructure, or network engineering roles, with a focus on building and operating systems at scale
- Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, Go, or similar) with experience building production systems or services
- Deep understanding of networking fundamentals (e.g., TCP/IP, routing, DNS, load balancing, NAT, VPNs)
- Experience with cloud and Kubernetes networking, including concepts such as VPCs, routing, network policy, and service connectivity
- Experience building or operating distributed systems or networking infrastructure (e.g., control planes, traffic management, gateways or proxies, automation systems)
- Strong debugging skills and ability to troubleshoot across application, system, and network boundaries
- Ability to drive technical direction and make architectural decisions across teams
- Based in and around one of our offices in SF, DC, or NYC and excited to work in-office.
