About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 15 years of experience in network engineering, datacenter networking, cloud networking, or infrastructure architecture.
  • A proven record of owning network architecture end to end and leading major network transformations from design through delivery.
  • Hands-on AWS network architecture experience, including VPC, Transit Gateway, VPC peering, security groups and NACLs, Direct Connect, site-to-site VPN, and hybrid connectivity to physical datacenters.
  • Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, Layer 2/3, VLANs, VRFs, BGP, OSPF, LACP, and high-availability design, with hands-on enterprise switching and routing experience.
  • Practical experience with segmentation, firewall integration, routing policy, and IP address management.
  • Network automation and infrastructure-as-code experience with Python, Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, or comparable tools.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across datacenter, AWS, firewalls, and hybrid connectivity, and the ability to write clear architecture diagrams and technical documentation.
  • Ability to influence and align engineering teams the role does not manage, and to communicate risks and decisions to senior leadership and vendors.
  • Ability to travel to the Austin datacenter as needed and work occasional after-hours maintenance or incident response.
  • Ability to engineer strategic solutions, including advanced NAT/PAT and VRF segmentation, to resolve overlapping CIDR block challenges during multi-tenant cloud integrations.
  • Ability to architect highly scalable, hierarchically structured CIDR blocks to maximize address efficiency and minimize routing table sizes via route summarization.
  • Ability to architect and implement high-availability hybrid paths connecting enterprise datacenters to major cloud providers.
  • Ability to design robust WAN transit architectures leveraging AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, SD-WAN, and managed MPLS networks.

Responsibilities

  • Own the network architecture for the Austin datacenter, AWS, and production and corporate environments, including design diagrams, IP addressing and CIDR/IPAM standards, routing designs, and design standards; lead architecture reviews and vendor evaluations.
  • Design and scale core network boundaries by establishing robust CIDR allocation strategies, IPAM frameworks, and non-overlapping subnets across corporate domains.
  • Serve as lead network designer for cloud environments as the organization moves to infrastructure as code; build and maintain a complete network map covering VPCs, front ends, subnets, and CIDR blocks.
  • Define the strategy for replacing the VPN across the Austin datacenter and users accessing AWS, and run the project end to end.
  • Design AWS VPCs, Transit Gateway, Cloud WAN, and multi-account topologies; build hybrid connectivity with Direct Connect, site-to-site VPN, and BGP; secure connectivity with Network Firewall, PrivateLink, and Route 53 Resolver.
  • Design, deploy, and troubleshoot datacenter leaf-spine, VXLAN/EVPN, BGP, OSPF, VRF, and MLAG environments; participate in cabinet builds, cabling validation, and network cutovers.
  • Build WAN and routing fabrics connecting on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud environments, with predictable failover paths.
  • Implement segmentation, firewall policy, and least-privilege connectivity with Security; support IPv4/IPv6, incident response, root-cause analysis, and disaster recovery planning.
  • Automate provisioning, validation, and drift detection using Python, Ansible, Terraform, and CloudFormation; integrate network changes with version control and CI/CD.
  • Improve telemetry, alerting, and runbooks; lead troubleshooting of complex issues across datacenter, firewall, and cloud networking.
  • Act as the senior technical authority for networking, mentor engineers, work with vendors, carriers, and cloud providers, and communicate risks and decisions to leadership.
  • Drive projects across SRE, Platform Engineering, and engineering teams, influencing teams beyond the role's own team to adopt network standards and make changes.
  • Perform other duties as needed.

Desired Qualifications

  • AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty and/or Solutions Architect – Professional certification.
  • AWS Cloud WAN, Network Firewall, PrivateLink, and multi-account shared services design experience.
  • Experience leading a VPN or remote-access replacement.
  • Experience with Juniper, Cisco, or Arista platforms; Juniper Mist; VXLAN/EVPN fabrics; or IPv6 design.
  • Familiarity with virtualization networking, enterprise storage, bare-metal infrastructure, and network telemetry and observability tools.
