Site reliability is Trumid’s standing top technology priority, and connectivity is where it starts: if we or our customers can’t reach anything, nothing else matters. This role owns request delivery end to end, and the scope test is simple: if it has to be up for a request to reach the right service, it’s yours. That means the whole path — colo routers and switches, client circuits, VPNs and cross-connects, cross-cloud links, DNS, load balancers, and the Envoy service mesh. You’d join the networking side of our SRE team, working alongside experienced network engineers. Some of what you’d walk into: A live migration of our trading edge onto HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller — cut over in production one elastic IP at a time, each step reversible, each step qualified by synthetic trading traffic before real clients ride it. A network device fleet headed for full config-as-code: version-controlled, CI-validated configuration, centralized AAA, and a proper source of truth with IPAM. Client-connectivity request load that we are deliberately engineering away — standardized intake, per-client connectivity dashboards, and eventually self-service for the common low-risk changes. Your job is to automate this work out of existence, not to absorb it. What you’ll do? Own reliability across the full request delivery path — edge network gear, DNS, load balancing, service mesh — spanning our data centers, AWS, and GCP. Drive network automation: config-as-code (Ansible, Terraform, GitOps) with CI validation, a network source of truth with IPAM, and changes that are reviewed, repeatable, and reversible. Find single points of failure on critical paths and retire them; design and run the failover drills that prove they’re gone. Engineer client connectivity — circuits, VPNs, cross-connects, FIX network paths — and build the workflows and dashboards that turn it from interrupt work into a product. Build network observability with the rest of SRE: streaming device telemetry, syslog into our logging stack, and full-path alerting so we detect faults before clients report them. Harden the fleet: firmware currency, centralized AAA tied to our identity provider, control-plane protection, firewall policy as code. Share a sane, deliberately interrupt-contained on-call rotation with the rest of the team. About you. Seven or more years running production networks that include physical gear: routing and switching, BGP, firewalls, circuits and cross-connects. Real cloud networking depth in AWS or GCP: VPC design, transit gateways and peering, network load balancers, DNS, hybrid connectivity. The automation habit. If you’ve done it twice by hand, you script it; your configs live in Git and your changes go through review. Working fluency at the application layer of delivery: L4–L7 load balancing (HAProxy, NGINX, or Envoy), TLS termination, health checking — and enough Kubernetes to operate ingress confidently. Reliability instincts: you would rather rehearse a failover on a quiet Tuesday than discover one during an incident. Clear writing and the ability to work directly with clients’ network teams. Nice to have. Experience with: Envoy or another service mesh in production; Kubernetes ingress at scale. Cisco IOS-XE fleets, Palo Alto/Panorama, or network source-of-truth tooling (Infrahub, NetBox, Nautobot). Prometheus/Grafana/ELK-style observability stacks. Employee benefits.
