Role Description

We are looking for a Principal DevOps Engineer to join our team. This role is a remote position, reporting to the VPE of Infrastructure.

You will architect and manage the global cloud infrastructure for our Zero Trust Networking Services, owning the delivery pipeline and operational health of a massive-scale, multi-region distributed system. Bridging the gap between Network Engineering and Cloud Operations, you will orchestrate highly scalable, distributed control and data plane services in the public cloud.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Design and implement a multi-region AWS architecture and lead the development of modular Terraform libraries to automate provisioning across diverse geographies.
• Architect self-healing infrastructure using advanced cloud load balancing, auto-scaling patterns, and Multi-AZ database topologies to ensure high availability.
• Modernize CI/CD pipelines and implement Blue/Green and Canary deployment strategies to ensure zero-downtime upgrades for a continuously running global network service.
• Build comprehensive SRE dashboards and implement intelligent alerting frameworks to detect regional outages or capacity exhaustion before they impact customers.
• Monitor cloud resource utilization and implement scaling policies that perfectly balance performance requirements with cost-efficiency.

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You thrive in ambiguity, seeing it as the raw material to build something meaningful.
• You act like an owner, navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
• You are a problem-solver, energized by finding solutions to challenges.
• You are customer-obsessed, building deep empathy for the customer and championing their needs.
• You operate with urgency, delivering high-impact results quickly.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of overall experience in Software Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering combined with a BS/MS in Computer Science or relevant field.
• Deep mastery of AWS services and architecting AWS-managed SQL and NoSQL data stores, focusing on designing scalable local and multi-region deployment strategies.
• Advanced expertise in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and expert proficiency in Python or Go for building automation tooling.
• Strong knowledge of Linux/BSD internals, observability stacks (Prometheus, InfluxDB), and security compliance (PKI, IAM, DevSecOps).
• U.S. citizenship due to the nature of the customers assigned to this role.

Requirements

• Experience managing large-scale distributed systems or IoT-style connectivity platforms.
• Background in Network Engineering or working with Data Plane forwarding technologies.
• Experience with Chaos Engineering methodologies in a public cloud environment.

Benefits

• Various health plans.
• Time off plans for vacation and sick time.
• Parental leave options.
• Retirement options.
• Education reimbursement.
• In-office perks, and more!
