Cloud & Datacenter Networking
Own the design and evolution of network components including:
Virtual networks subnets routing and traffic control
Load balancing ingress/egress and DNS
Connectivity between cloud environments and physical datacenters
Work directly with datacenter providers carriers and network vendors to design and operate connectivity.
Reliability & Operational Excellence
Ensure network platforms meet availability performance and resiliency requirements.
Apply SRE principles to networking including redundancy fault isolation graceful degradation and capacity planning.
Proactively identify risks and single points of failure across global network topologies.
Automation & Infrastructure as Code
Drive network automation through Infrastructure as Code and standardized deployment patterns.
Define and evolve automated provisioning configuration and validation for network resources.
Reduce manual network operations and operational risk.
Incident Management & OnCall
Participate in oncall rotations as a senior escalation point for networkrelated incidents.
Lead troubleshooting incident response and root cause analysis for complex network failures.
Drive improvements from postincident reviews to prevent recurrence.
