About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Network Engineer who brings deep technical expertise, sound operational judgment, and the ability to deliver reliable, scalable network services across multi-region and global environments, including regulated and compliant FedRAMP-authorized platforms. This role is primarily operations‑focused, encompassing ownership of day‑to‑day network reliability, performance, and incident response, while also incorporating engineering and build responsibilities as required—such as evolving routing architectures, developing and maintaining automation pipelines, troubleshooting complex network behaviors, and executing major initiatives across data centers and cloud platforms.

Beyond technical capability, we are looking for the right cultural fit: someone who embodies our core expectation to \"be kind\"—a teammate who collaborates openly, communicates respectfully, supports others, and contributes to a positive, inclusive engineering culture.

You will work closely with Architecture, Product, Security, Compliance, and Operations teams to ensure our global backbone, data center networks, cloud connectivity, and FedRAMP environments remain secure, resilient, automated, compliant, and well‑documented. You will be empowered to own meaningful problems end‑to‑end, influence design patterns, and mentor engineers across the organization.
