## Description

Cloud Network Platform Engineering builds and operates the cloud platforms that provide secure, reliable, and scalable connectivity for Cisco products and customers. Within the organization, the Node Connectivity team is responsible for a globally distributed service that connects millions of Meraki devices to the cloud services that manage them.

We are looking for a technical lead to join our Kubernetes Site Reliability Engineering team. The initial focus of this role will be supporting the migration of the globally distributed service from AWS-hosted Kubernetes clusters to an internal, data-center-based Kubernetes platform.

Your Impact:

- Lead the feasibility assessment, technical planning, and phased migration of eligible workloads from AWS-hosted Kubernetes clusters to the internal Kubernetes platform, establishing technical direction and staged delivery plans.

- Support the operation and reliability of specialized Kubernetes workloads with non-standard load-balancing, networking, and traffic requirements.

- Solve complex issues across applications, Kubernetes, Linux, networking, containers, and infrastructure.

- Partner with the Node Connectivity, firmware, cloud infrastructure, security, SRE, and product teams to prioritize support and coordinate cross-system changes.

- Design, implement and maintain production-quality Go software for distributed, concurrent, and networked systems.

Minimum Qualifications:

- 8+ years of professional software, site reliability, or infrastructure engineering experience, including technical leadership of substantial production systems.

- Experience designing, deploying, and operating large distributed services on Kubernetes.

- 5+ years of programming experience in Go or a similar systems programming language.

- Experience supporting production services through incident response, solving, performance analysis, Kubernetes reliability practices, observability, automation, and operational readiness.

- Understanding of Linux and networking concepts, including IPv4/IPv6, TCP, routing, DNS, and TLS.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience operating Kubernetes across AWS, on-premises, or hybrid environments.

- Experience with Kubernetes networking, ingress, load balancing, service discovery, and traffic management.

- Experience with gRPC, Protocol Buffers, mutual TLS, PKI, VPNs, tunneling, or network security.

- Experience with production observability platforms such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Datadog, or similar tools.

The starting salary range posted for this position is $186,900.00 to $267,700.00 and reflects the projected salary range for new hires in this position in U.S. and/or Canada locations.
