Role Overview
The Staff Network Engineer owns the design, deployment, and operational health of Zoom's global corporate network. This is a senior IC role for an engineer who is equally comfortable deep in a config and driving cross-team engineering decisions.
What You Will Do
Design and operate enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure, manage global BGP peering, VLAN segmentation, and Layer 2 topology, administer firewall policy, Zero Trust remote access, and 802.1X network access control, and build automation to reduce toil.
