  • Optimize Linux networking subsystem for maximum throughput (we run many components at close to full physical link capacity)
  • Manage network redundancy with our upstream providers
  • Administrate our wireless and wired networks
  • Set up and maintain peering arrangements with major cloud providers
  • Secure our facility against internal and external threats
  • Work with external vendors to regular audit and test our networks

  • You’re strongly capable in an imperative or functional language (e.g. Python, JavaScript, G)
  • Able to identify processes in need of automation quickly, and automate them
  • Able (and excited) to mentor junior engineers

You’d be a great fit with:

  • 2+ years in security engineering
  • Hybrid cloud-prem networking experience
  • Network and security certifications
  • A love of CI/CD
  • Substantial experience with one or more of the major clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP)
