As a Member of Technical Staff on the Infrastructure Engineering team, you will get the opportunity to bridge the gap between physical infrastructure and modern cloud environments. You will play a pivotal role in designing the network backbone that powers the Anchorage Digital ecosystem, spanning from physical data centers to cloud providers (GCP/and others).

While you bring deep expertise in network design and data center operations, you will also grow your skillset by adopting modern automation practices, specifically learning and implementing Terraform to manage network/cloud infrastructure as code.

You will:

Define and influence network architecture initiatives, creating abstractions for hybrid connectivity between Data Centers and Kubernetes clusters.
Operate reliable and cost-efficient infrastructure across regions.
Lead initiatives to migrate legacy network setups to a modern, automated architecture
Build robust monitoring and observability into the network layer to shorten feedback loops during outages or latency events
Work with external partners (ISPs, DC providers) and internal engineering and security teams to deliver secure infrastructure solutions
Advocate for best practices across network security and connectivity

You may be a fit for this role if:

Strong experience with Linux/Unix internals, docker containerization, container orchestration and command-line tools
Experience configuring and managing enterprise-grade network hardware and firewalls.
Experience with one of the major cloud providers (GCP or AWS) and their specific networking constructs
A desire to stop manually SSH-ing into routers and start writing code to manage them
A desire to work on more than just networking, including cloud infrastructure that runs on the network backbone you provision
Sound understanding of CS foundations and networking protocols
Proven experience working in both physical Data Center environments (racking, stacking, switch configuration) and Cloud Infrastructure (GCP, AWS or others)
Strong verbal and written communication skills

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

You have prior experience with Terraform or other IACs for network automation.
Experience with setting up and monitoring private B2B connectivity.
Desire to work outside of just the networking world
In your mind, the word "crypto" stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency.
You read protocol white papers for fun or have a background in the finance industry.
