About the role
As SGP has grown in scale and complexity, networking has become a critical architectural discipline of its own. Today, teams routinely encounter the same hard problems — VPC design, routing, ingress and egress, private connectivity, service exposure, address-space constraints, firewall policies, and cross-environment communication — but solve them differently depending on the deployment.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of network engineering experience, including designing and operating production networks in cloud environments
- Deep expertise in cloud networking on at least two of AWS, Azure, and GCP: VPC design, peering, Transit Gateway/hub-and-spoke topologies, private connectivity (PrivateLink, Private Service Connect), and DNS
- Kubernetes networking depth — CNI, ingress, NetworkPolicy, service mesh (Istio/Envoy) — this is where most of our real incidents live
- Strong fundamentals in TCP/IP, BGP, routing, firewalls, VPN (site-to-site and client), and TLS
- Experience with edge/CDN and traffic-management platforms such as Cloudflare
- Has defined a network standard or reference architecture that other teams adopted, and enforced it through design review
More about this role
Scale GP (Scale Generative AI Platform) is Scale’s enterprise AI platform, providing APIs and infrastructure for knowledge retrieval, inference, evaluation, agents, and more. We deploy SGP across AWS, Azure, and GCP, often directly into customer-controlled cloud environments across highly regulated industries including healthcare, financial services, telecom, and retail.
As SGP has grown in scale and complexity, networking has become a critical architectural discipline of its own. Today, teams routinely encounter the same hard problems — VPC design, routing, ingress and egress, private connectivity, service exposure, address-space constraints, firewall policies, and cross-environment communication — but solve them differently depending on the deployment. We’re looking for a Senior Network Engineer to establish the architectural standards for how SGP connects to customer infrastructure and how traffic moves throughout the platform.
You’ll own network architecture across a large and rapidly growing fleet of Kubernetes environments spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP, with many deployed inside customer-owned cloud accounts and networks that we do not control. The constraints vary...
