Job Description
Manager, Cloud Networking
Vultr
• Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing Cloud Networking engineering team, providing regular coaching, setting clear expectations, and helping engineers reach the next stage of their careers. • Create a healthy engineering culture centered on ownership, curiosity, collaboration, and long-term craftsmanship in networking software. • Drive strong engineering fundamentals - testing, validation, reproducibility, rollback safety, change control, observability, and operational readiness • Own the Cloud Networking roadmap, including VPC, routing, NAT/IGW, firewall/security groups, and customer-facing networking features. • Manage and mentor a team of network-minded software engineers building automation, controllers, and dataplane implementations for scale. • Drive development of networking APIs and control-plane logic, ensuring correctness, scalability, and straightforward integration into Vultr’s platform and orchestration layers. • Lead the architecture and implementation of EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, overlay construction, VRF segmentation, route distribution, and dataplane policy enforcement. • Own the automation stack for network provisioning and lifecycle management - Network device configuration generation, device onboarding flows, controller logic, and intent application. • Partner with Platform Engineering, Orchestration, Compute, and GPU/AI teams to integrate networking behavior into provisioning workflows and cluster operations. • Define the model and schema for new network constructs (e.g., VPC features, routing modes, Gateway/NAT capabilities, private connectivity, cross-region constructs). • Ensure quality and consistency across network software — testing, validation, rollbacks, canaries, structured CI/CD, reproducibility, auditability. • Work with Architecture to align feature design with long-term fabric strategy (EVPN, VTEP lifecycle, multi-tenant segmentation, QoS, RDMA coexistence). • Coordinate with NetDevOps to build operational tooling, validate configurations, improve telemetry, and close automation gaps.
Job Requirements
- Experience managing and growing engineering teams - hiring talent, fostering development, and building a safe but high-performing environment for the team.
