ABOUT THE ROLE: We are seeking a Principal Engineer to join our Networking team and take deep technical ownership of core areas within our cloud networking platform.

Responsibilities: Own the design and architecture of significant features and platform components within the Aviatrix networking stack, including multi-cloud transit, routing protocols, and network security enforcement. Identify systemic problems and gaps within your areas of ownership and drive resolution through well-reasoned design proposals and cross-team collaboration. Design and deliver complex features spanning BGP routing, SD-WAN integration, firewall insertion, and IPSec-encrypted transit across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Partner with Product Management to translate customer requirements and market trends into concrete technical roadmaps and architectural decisions within your domain. Conduct thorough code and design reviews; contribute to engineering best practices, design patterns, and internal technical documentation. Mentor other engineers — pro
