You'll design, build and operate the provisioning engine that turns intent into standardized, compliant networking resources (VPCs, subnets, policy, routing and private connectivity endpoints) at enterprise scale. Working as part of an agile team, you'll contribute to system design, write and validate production code and deliver reliable, maintainable solutions that meet high standards for security, scalability, and operability, while helping shape technical direction, engineering culture, and operational excellence for platform services.

Essential Technical Skill

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform) to provision and manage cloud infrastructure
• Automation and CI/CD processes with a strong commitment to testing as a core engineering discipline

• Cloud-native networking constructs (e.g., VPC/VNet design, routing, IPAM, load balancing, DNS, service-to-service connectivity)

Desirable

• Experience working in financial services or another highly regulated environment where security, controls, and auditability are first-class requirements

Job responsibilities

• Write, review and maintain production code across the stack, applying sound engineering judgment and quality standards regardless of whether code originates from you, a teammate, or an AI-assisted workflow
• Contribute to system design discussions and produce clear design/architecture artifacts for services and features; ensure implementation aligns with agreed constraints and non-functional requirements
• Identify and surface issues proactively and help drive improvements to code quality, observability, and system architecture
