Network Automation Engineer – Multi-Cloud & GitOps

albo; Ciudad de México; On-site; MXN 600,000 - 900,000; Full time

Job summary

albo, a leading fintech in Mexico City, seeks a hands-on Network Engineer with an automation mindset to own the network layer of our multi-cloud platform (GCP and AWS). You will codify routes, firewall rules, DNS records, and edge policies, and deliver changes through GitOps pipelines.

You will design and operate cloud networking, implement load balancing and edge protection, and collaborate with Platform, DevOps and Security teams to improve observability and incident response.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in a Network Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or DevOps/SRE role with a strong networking focus.
• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, subnetting/CIDR, routing (BGP basics), NAT, DNS, TLS, and HTTP.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and scripting in Python, Go, or Bash to automate network tasks.
• Hands-on experience with cloud networking on GCP and/or AWS (VPCs, firewall rules, load balancers, private connectivity, VPN).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes networking (Services, Ingress, NetworkPolicies), reverse proxies such as NGINX, and edge controls such as Cloud Armor or AWS WAF.
• Experience leveraging AI tools to automate network operations and troubleshooting is a massive plus, as are certifications such as Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer, AWS Certified Advanced Networking, or CCNA/CCNP.
• Automation-first approach: if you do it twice, you script it. You measure success by fewer manual changes, fewer network incidents, and faster turnaround on network requests.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills, eagerness to keep growing, and an extreme ownership mindset.
• Based in Mexico City, with availability to work on-site

Responsibilities

• Design, operate, and evolve our network across GCP and AWS (Shared VPC, VPC peering, Private Service Connect, Cloud NAT, Cloud VPN/Interconnect, private DNS).
• Codify network infrastructure with Terraform and automate repetitive operations (DNS records, firewall rules, IP allowlists) with Python or Go, delivered through GitOps workflows.
• Operate Google Cloud Load Balancing, Cloud Armor, IAP, and NGINX-based private proxies on GKE, per security guidance.
• Use VPC Flow Logs, Cloud Logging, and Datadog to diagnose connectivity, latency, and DNS issues; build network alerts and dashboards; lead incident response.
• Work closely with Platform, DevOps, and Information Security teams; document network runbooks and diagrams to avoid single points of failure.
