Staff Site Reliability Engineer- Networking

In this senior technical role, you will define and lead networking strategy across a globally distributed hybrid infrastructure supporting a large-scale internet intelligence and cybersecurity platform. You will take ownership of critical network architecture spanning physical data centers, public cloud environments, Kubernetes, and edge infrastructure. Your work will directly influence platform reliability, performance, security, and the ability to deliver real-time internet intelligence to customers worldwide. You will design and automate network infrastructure using software engineering principles, ensuring that infrastructure changes are reliable, scalable, and continuously deployable. Working across engineering and infrastructure teams, you will establish technical standards, lead complex resilience initiatives, and drive long-term architectural improvements. This is an opportunity to combine deep networking expertise with hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and innovation in a mission-driven cybersecurity environment.

• At least 10 years of experience in network engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or infrastructure engineering, with a proven track record of managing and improving production networking environments.

• Deep understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, BGP, anycast, DNS, TLS, and large-scale load balancing.

• Demonstrated experience designing, building, and operating hybrid infrastructure spanning physical data centers and public cloud environments, ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Strong knowledge of Kubernetes networking, including Container Network Interface (CNI), ingress controllers, and service mesh technologies.

• Experience developing software and automation tools for network infrastructure, including health-checking services, certificate lifecycle management, traffic management, and operational tooling using programming languages such as Go or Python.

• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps practices, with hands-on experience using tools such as Terraform, Crossplane, ArgoCD, or equivalent technologies.

• Experience designing and implementing highly available network architectures, disaster recovery strategies, cross-data-center failover, and infrastructure resilience programs.

• Strong technical leadership skills, with the ability to influence architectural decisions, lead complex initiatives, and gain alignment across teams without relying on formal authority.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical incidents, infrastructure trade-offs, and reliability strategies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proactive, ownership-driven mindset, with a bias toward action, iterative problem-solving, and continuous improvement.

• Experience managing large-scale traffic delivery and network infrastructure in consumer-facing environments, such as streaming platforms, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), or global anycast networks.

• Proven ability to eliminate repetitive operational work through automation, including TLS certificate rotation, failover testing, and capacity forecasting.

• Familiarity with internet measurement, internet scanning infrastructure, cybersecurity, or security-related network operations.

• Understanding of how large-scale scanning traffic interacts with network peering relationships, abuse reporting, and internet infrastructure providers.

• Interest in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve infrastructure engineering, incident analysis, and configuration automation.

• Contributions to the wider technical community through conference presentations, open-source projects, or technical publications.
