• Own low-level network system design, including routing, switching, load balancing, firewall and security controls, API design for network services, and data modeling for configuration and telemetry.

• Drive the adoption and safe integration of AI/ML-enabled solutions into network monitoring, incident detection, capacity planning, and automation workflows to improve reliability and performance.

• Build and maintain automated network workflows and Infrastructure-as-Code patterns to standardize configurations, reduce manual changes, and enable fungible deployment across multiple environments and domains.

• Partner with cross-functional engineering, security, and operations teams to define network service requirements, influence technical direction, and ensure alignment with architectural standards and operational excellence goals.

• Develop, mentor, and guide a high-performing network engineering team, setting clear technical expectations, prioritizing work, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, learning, and data-driven decision making.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience in network engineering.

• Experience leading network engineering initiatives or teams responsible for the design, implementation, and operation of production network services in large-scale or complex environments.

• Hands-on expertise with core networking technologies and protocols (such as routing, switching, load balancing, VPN, DNS, firewalls, and network security controls), including ownership of one or more critical services or domains.

• Proven ability to design and document network system architectures, including low-level designs, API interfaces for network services, and data models for configuration, monitoring, and telemetry.

• Familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products and infrastructure operations, including safely integrating and operating AI/ML-enabled solutions that improve outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated success managing end-to-end delivery of network infrastructure projects from technical design through rollout, including change management, risk mitigation, and post-launch optimization at scale.

• Experience architecting and operating highly available, secure, and performant network topologies across hybrid or multi-cloud environments, with strong focus on automation, observability, and operational excellence.

• Proficiency with network automation frameworks, Infrastructure-as-Code, and programmable interfaces (such as APIs, scripting, or configuration data models) to standardize, validate, and deploy network changes reliably.

• Strong track record using metrics, logs, and network telemetry to drive decisions on capacity planning, resiliency improvements, incident prevention, and continuous reliability enhancements.

• Advanced experience with AI/ML-assisted operations for networking (for example, anomaly detection, intelligent alerting, or automated remediation), including safely integrating and operating AI/ML-enabled solutions that improve outcomes and exploring emerging AI techniques to enhance network reliability and efficiency.
