Engineer32 days ago

Role Description Redpanda is building the Agentic Data Platform (ADP) — the streaming and data infrastructure the world's largest enterprises run mission-critical agents on. Field Deployed Engineering (FDE) is the delivery arm. We embed engineers directly with strategic customers and build the agents and integrations that turn ADP into owned outcomes. This role is the networking specialist on the FDE team. You are the person customers' network, security, and platform teams sit across from when we deploy ADP into their environment. Many enterprise ADP deployments cross a private network boundary — into a VPC, across a hybrid network, behind an identity-aware proxy, integrated with public SaaS surfaces (Teams, Slack, identity providers, model APIs). The topology is never simple. You make it work. This is not a network engineer staffing a NOC. You are an engineer who can read code, build integrations, and ship — but your specialty is the network topology side of FDE engagements, where many enterprise deployments actually get stuck. You Will: - Own the deployment topology of major enterprise engagements. - Design and lock the network architecture for each customer: - VPC layout - Ingress/egress - Private connectivity - DNS - Identity-aware proxying - Public-SaaS-to-private-VPC bridges - Document the architecture so it survives handoff. - Translate customer constraints into a workable architecture. - Herd customer-side teams: - Network - Security - Platform - Identity - Build the integrations that bridge the gap. - Build alongside world-class Redpanda engineers to help shape ADP itself. - Be the topology authority across the FDE function. - Feed learnings back. Qualifications - Production networking depth. - Code that runs in production. - SaaS-to-private-network integration patterns. - Customer-facing communication. - Patience for cross-team work. Requirements - Experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, defense / public sector). - Experience with air-gapped or BYOC deployments. - Background in zero-trust / identity-aware networking. - Experience in a forward-deployed model. Benefits - U.S. base salary range for this role is $255,000, not including bonus and/or commission. - Final travel expectation TBD. - Remote work considered for the right candidate. Company Description Redpanda is pioneering the Agentic Data Plane (ADP) - a new category in AI infrastructure that makes it simple and secure to connect AI agents with enterprise data and systems. Built on a multi-modal data streaming engine, Redpanda empowers agentic applications that reason and act in real-time with speed, autonomy, and precision. Global leaders including Activision Blizzard, Cisco, Moody's, Texas Instruments, Vodafone and 2 of the top 5 banks in the U.S. rely on Redpanda to process hundreds of terabytes of data a day. Backed by premier venture investors Lightspeed, GV and Haystack VC, Redpanda is a diverse, people-first organization with teams distributed around the globe.
