scribe - Staff Cloud Networking Engineer

• This is a rare chance to define a discipline, not just maintain one. You'll take over an existing network that's served us so far, and your mandate is to design its successor — a deliberate, modern architecture to replace what grew organically. You get the context of a real running system and the freedom to decide what comes next, and the architecture you build will shape how every team here ships for years. • You'll start with genuinely interesting problems, not maintenance. IPv6 from the ground up, IPv6-native EKS, IPAM stood up clean — these are the kinds of greenfield challenges most network engineers rarely get to do once, let alone all at once. And as we grow into multiple providers, you'll architect how we connect across clouds before the complexity calcifies, while it's still a design problem rather than a cleanup job. • You'll have real ownership and real reach. As the org's first and most senior networking engineer, you set the direction, you establish the standards, and you're the person the rest of engineering looks to on networking. Your work won't sit in a corner — it's the foundation everyone else builds on, and you'll level up the engineers around you as you go. • If you want depth on the hard networking problems and the autonomy to build a function the right way from day one, this is that role. • WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT • Deep, hands-on AWS networking expertise — you've designed and operated AWS networking in production at scale and can serve as the authority on it • Strong, vendor-agnostic networking fundamentals: IP addressing and subnetting (IPv4 and IPv6), routing, DNS, TCP/IP, BGP, and NAT — the kind of foundation that transfers cleanly to any cloud provider • A demonstrated history of setting technical direction across an organization — influencing without authority, establishing standards, and leveling up the teams around you • Comfort being the first specialist in a domain: defining the practice, making the foundational decisions, and bringing others along rather than inheriting an established playbook • Demonstrated experience with IPv6 in a cloud or large network environment — not just familiarity, but having actually deployed and troubleshot it • Production experience with core cloud networking primitives — VPCs, transit/peering, IPAM, and private connectivity — on AWS, and ideally on at least one other provider • Experience with private DNS in Route 53; familiarity with public DNS management (Cloudflare or similar) a plus • Kubernetes networking experience, ideally with EKS, including CNI behavior and how addressing works at the pod, service, and ingress levels • Infrastructure-as-code proficiency (Terraform or equivalent) and comfort working in a code-reviewed, GitOps-style workflow • Ability to operate independently, drive architectural decisions, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to both engineers and senior stakeholders • HOW TO STAND OUT • Hands-on networking experience with multi-cloud connectivity tooling • Experience with multi-account/multi-project cloud environments (AWS Organizations, Control Tower, landing zones, or equivalents) • Network security and compliance experience • AWS certifications (Advanced Networking – Specialty or similar) • We benchmark compensation using trusted market data and apply a tiered geographic framework to ensure competitive pay across locations. The ranges below represent the base salary band for this role by tier. Final offers are determined by experience, scope, internal parity, and location. • We consider several factors when determining compensation, including location, experience, and other job-related factors.
