Senior Network Engineer

The role

You will operate at the intersection of cloud networking, platform engineering, and security
.

Your mission is to build a robust, scalable, and automated network foundation across AWS and hybrid environments, enabling teams to deploy services safely, predictably, and at scale.

This is not a ticket-based networking role.

You will design systems, define standards, automate aggressively, and collaborate closely with Security, Dev Sec Ops , AI, and Platform Engineering teams.

Cloud & hybrid network architecture

• Design, implement, and operate AWS and hybrid network architectures
  , including VPCs, subnets, routing, gateways, and hybrid connectivity.
• Build secure and scalable VPC topologies
  , transit networks, VPNs, and private connectivity (Direct Connect, Express Route).
• Design for high availability, fault isolation, and predictable failure behavior
  .

Network as Code & automation

• Define and maintain Network-as-Code using Terraform (and/or Cloud Formation), including reusable modules and standards.
• Automate network provisioning, configuration, auditing, and scaling using Python, Bash, or Go
  .
• Eliminate manual configuration wherever possible.

Zero Trust & network security

• Implement Zero Trust networking
  , micro-segmentation, and identity-aware access patterns.
• Collaborate with security teams to ensure network-level controls align with platform security architecture.
• Support firewalling, traffic filtering, and secure ingress/egress patterns.

Observability & reliability

• Build network observability into the platform using tools such as Cloud Watch, Datadog, Prometheus, Open Telemetry, or equivalent.
• Monitor latency, packet loss, throughput, and failure patterns, not just uptime.
• Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for network performance, availability, and security issues.
• Evaluate and implement next-generation networking technologies
  , such as service mesh, SD-WAN, and modern network automation frameworks.
• Support networking needs for AI workloads
  , APIs, and data-intensive services (secure endpoints, internal traffic flows, model access).
• Act as a technical reference for networking topics across engineering teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote a culture of automation, clarity, and continuous improvement
  .

• We prefer automation over manual processes
  .
• We prefer clear rules and good systems to meetings and approvals.
• We believe in “better forgiveness than permission”, as long as decisions are well-reasoned.
• We only perform tasks that no-one else can do
  . If we can outsource a task that can be done by others in the same way we would, we do.
• We want an ultimately lean organization
  . We believe that large teams create complexity hinder innovation and adaptation.
• We simplify things as much as we can and automate whatever we can
  . We want to go hardcore on deletion and simplification.
• We hire for attitude
  ; skills you can learn from the team.
• We value contribution
  , not seniority.

We’re an international team (10+ nationalities). English is the working language.

We care more about how you think than how loud you are.

• 10+ years of experience in Networking, Cloud Infrastructure, or Platform Engineering.
• Deep expertise in AWS networking services (VPC, Route 53, Transit Gateway, WAF, Cloud Front, ALB/NLB).
• Strong experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Cloud Formation, or equivalent).
• Advanced understanding of network protocols and concepts (TCP/IP, BGP, DNS, VPN, HTTP/S).
• Hands-on experience with network automation (Python scripting, Ansible, AWS SDK, or similar).
• Strong understanding of network security principles
  , Zero Trust, and identity-aware networking.
• Familiarity with AI and automation workloads and their networking requirements is a plus.
• Comfortable working across Dev Ops, Sec Ops, Platform, and Data Engineering teams.
• Certifications are a plus (AWS Advanced Networking – Specialty, CCNP/CCIE, Dev Net), but real-world systems you’ve built matter more
  .

We’re not looking for someone to keep networks running as they are.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys designing network systems that scale, fail gracefully, and are hard to misuse.
