Job description
from Shield AI careersJob Description:
Cloud Engineering builds and operates the infrastructure and environments that support Hivemind.
As a Senior Staff Cloud Network Engineer, you will lead the design and evolution of the network systems that connect Hivemind environments across cloud, on-premise, and constrained runtime environments. You will partner with engineering, program, and infrastructure stakeholders to define how systems communicate: establishing routing, network segmentation, and connectivity models that ensure secure and predictable operation.
This is a deeply technical, hands-on role focused on building and validating network systems. You will work with engineering, program, and adjacent infrastructure teams to implement and verify connectivity across cloud and isolated environments, including troubleshooting routing, segmentation, and traffic behavior in constrained or mission-critical systems.
What you'll do:
- Lead the design of network systems that span both cloud and isolated environments, ensuring consistent connectivity and behavior.
