About the Role Our IT Network Engineering team designs, builds, and operates the enterprise network across offices, data centers, and AWS. As a Sr. Network Engineer, you’ll lead core network design and upgrades, deliver reliable AWS connectivity, automate with infrastructure as code, and mentor teammates. You’ll be accountable for availability, performance, and security across a multi‑vendor stack. On‑call is required.

Duties

Design and implement network changes across Bay Area sites and global locations (campus, data center, WAN / SD WAN, remote access, cloud interconnects).

Architect and operate AWS networking: multi‑account VPCs, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, VPN, endpoints / PrivateLink, Route 53, ALB / NLB, security groups / NACLs, segmentation guardrails.

Build infrastructure as code (Terraform): reusable modules, CI / CD pipelines, automated pre / post change validation, drift detection.

Lead advanced L2–L7 troubleshooting; drive incidents to resolution and root cause across on‑prem and AWS.

Apply SRE practices: define SLIs / SLOs / alerts, participate in and lead on‑call, run incident response and postmortems, maintain runbooks and dashboards.

Partner with Security, SRE / Infra, Workplace, and other IT teams; lead design reviews and cross‑functional projects.

Document architectures and operational procedures; mentor junior engineers.

Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Panorama: policy design, segmentation, GlobalProtect, threat services.

Juniper campus / data center and Cisco Meraki at scale; strong Cisco Wi Fi design / operations.

IaC and automation: Terraform modules, code reviews, CI / CD; Python or Go; Ansible / Nornir; device / cloud APIs.

Observability and SRE fundamentals: SLIs / SLOs, alerting, incident response / on‑call, postmortems, runbooks.

Clear communicator; strong ownership and accountability.
