Staff Cloud Networking Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Staff Cloud Networking Engineer to own cloud networking across our engineering organization. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role with broad scope: you'll architect, build, and operate the network foundation that our platform and product teams depend on, and you'll set the technical direction for how we do cloud networking as we scale. Our footprint today is on AWS, so deep AWS expertise is essential — but we expect to span multiple providers over time, and we're looking for someone who thinks about networking at the level of principles and architecture rather than a single vendor's console. The immediate priority is designing and deploying IPv6-native VPC architecture and bringing up IPv6 networking for our EKS workloads. Beyond that, you'll define the long-term strategy for how we address, connect, and scale our network — including how we connect across cloud providers as our footprint expands. This is the first dedicated networking role in the organization. Our DevOps engineers have carried networking alongside their other responsibilities, and you'll be the first person to own it as a specialty — establishing the standards other teams build against, becoming the authority on cloud networking decisions, and raising the networking competency of the engineers around you. This role is for someone who wants both depth — the hard networking problems — and the ownership to build the function from the ground up rather than execute someone else's design. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS - This is a rare chance to define a discipline, not just maintain one. You'll take over an existing network that's served us so far, and your mandate is to design its successor — a deliberate, modern architecture to replace what grew organically. You get the context of a real running system and the freedom to decide what comes next, and the architecture you build will shape how every team here ships for years. - You'll start with genuinely interesting problems, not ma
