About the role
- The ideal candidate combines deep networking expertise with strong software and infrastructure engineering skills.
- They should be comfortable operating across organizational boundaries, driving technical decisions, improving reliability, and identifying adjacent problems that need ownership rather than limiting themselves strictly to a predefined scope.
- SingleStore is venture-backed and headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Sunnyvale, Raleigh, Seattle, Boston, London, Lisbon, Bangalore, Dublin and Kyiv.
Responsibilities
- Design and evolve routing, segmentation, firewalls, NAT, ingress/egress, DNS, VPN, private connectivity, and cloud-to-data-center networking.
- Lead technical direction for private-access technologies such as Tailscale, Headscale, WireGuard, bastions, and related access patterns.
- Lead diagnosis and mitigation of significant networking, connectivity, and infrastructure incidents, and drive permanent remediation.
- Develop and maintain infrastructure using Terraform, OpenTofu, Terragrunt, Python, Go, or comparable technologies.
- Build reusable infrastructure patterns and automation that enable safe self-service for platform and engineering teams.
- Partner with Cloud Platform, Developer Platform, Systems Engineering, IT, InfoSec, and SRE teams on architecture that crosses networking, infrastructure, identity, security, and reliability domains.
- Create architecture standards, decision records, runbooks, and operational practices that reduce dependency on individual subject-matter experts.
- Identify architectural and operational gaps beyond the immediate networking domain and help drive them to resolution.
- Experience building infrastructure automation using Python, Go, or a comparable programming language.
- Ability to lead architecture decisions across multiple engineering organizations without formal authority.
Requirements
- Deep experience designing and operating complex production cloud networks in at least one major cloud provider, with meaningful experience in a second.
- Strong knowledge of routing, subnetting, segmentation, firewalls, NAT, DNS, VPN, ingress/egress, and private connectivity.
- Demonstrated experience troubleshooting complex production network and infrastructure failures.
- Strong hands-on experience with Terraform, OpenTofu, Terragrunt, or comparable infrastructure-as-code technologies.
- Strong SRE experience including observability, incident response, root-cause analysis, recovery engineering, and reliability improvement.
- Experience operating Kubernetes or adjacent cloud-platform infrastructure.
- Experience designing safe infrastructure change and deployment practices.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, distribute technical knowledge, and influence technical direction at Principal level.
- Improve infrastructure change safety through automated validation, required review, observability, change logging, and rollback practices.
Nice to have
