• Ensure secure network design through segmentation, encryption, and policy enforcement

• Own lifecycle management of network platforms, including modernization and technical debt reduction

• Drive high availability, scalability, and operational reliability across network services

• Provide technical consultation and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions

• Lead and contribute to engineering initiatives that drive platform improvements and delivery outcomes

• Provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure high-quality, scalable network solutions

• Drive continuous improvement of networking services, standards, and engineering practices

Required Skills and Experience:

• Familiarity deploying and operating containerized workloads using Enterprise-grade container orchestration platform supporting declarative infrastructure and horizontal scaling (AKS preferred), including cluster networking, ingress, service mesh, and policy enforcement

Who you are:

• A hands-on engineer who takes ownership and drives complex problems to resolution

• Someone who values automation, standardization, and durable engineering practices

• Comfortable making architectural decisions and working across design and delivery

• Focused on building secure, reliable, and scalable solutions in complex environments
