📋 Description

• Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing Cloud Networking engineering team, providing regular coaching, setting clear expectations, and helping engineers reach the next stage of their careers. • Create a healthy engineering culture centered on ownership, curiosity, collaboration, and long-term craftsmanship in networking software. • Drive strong engineering fundamentals - testing, validation, reproducibility, rollback safety, change control, observability, and operational readiness. • Own the Cloud Networking roadmap, including VPC, routing, NAT/IGW, firewall/security groups, and customer-facing networking features. • Manage and mentor a team of network-minded software engineers building automation, controllers, and dataplane implementations for scale. • Drive development of networking APIs and control-plane logic, ensuring correctness, scalability, and straightforward integration into Vultr’s platform and orchestration layers. • Lead the architecture and implementation of EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, overlay construction, VRF segmentation, route distribution, and dataplane policy enforcement. • Own the automation stack for network provisioning and lifecycle management - Network device configuration generation, device onboarding flows, controller logic, and intent application. • Partner with Platform Engineering, Orchestration, Compute, and GPU/AI teams to integrate networking behavior into provisioning workflows and cluster operations. • Define the model and schema for new network constructs (e.g., VPC features, routing modes, Gateway/NAT capabilities, private connectivity, cross-region constructs). • Ensure quality and consistency across network software — testing, validation, rollbacks, canaries, structured CI/CD, reproducibility, auditability. • Work with Architecture to align feature design with long-term fabric strategy (EVPN, VTEP lifecycle, multi-tenant segmentation, QoS, RDMA coexistence). • Coordinate with NetDevOps to build operational tooling, validate configurations, improve telemetry, and close automation gaps.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience managing and growing engineering teams - hiring talent, fostering development, and building a safe but high-performing environment for the team. • Deep experience with modern data center + cloud networking: EVPN-VXLAN, L3 multi-tenancy, VRFs, routing policy, NAT, load balancing, firewalling. • Experience building or leading networking software - Python, Go, or Rust controllers, orchestration flows, gRPC/REST APIs, daemons integrating with Linux datapath or hardware switches. • Hands-on knowledge of Linux networking: netlink, iptables/nftables, namespaces, routing stacks, kernel dataplane behavior. • Working familiarity with Junos EVO, Cumulus Linux, SONiC, or similar open-networking systems.

🏖️ Benefits

• 100% company-paid insurance premiums for employee medical, dental and vision plans. • 401(k) plan that matches 100% up to 4%, with immediate vesting • Professional Development Reimbursement of $2,500 each year • 11 Holidays + Paid Time Off Accrual + Rollover Plan • Increased PTO at 3 year and 10 year anniversary + 1 month paid sabbatical every 5 years + Anniversary Bonus each year • $500 stipend for remote office setup in first year + $400 each following year • Internet reimbursement up to $75 per month • Gym membership reimbursement up to $50 per month • Company paid Wellable subscription
