Job Description:
 
Senior AWS Network Engineer
Role Summary
CS Disco is seeking Senior AWS Network Engineers to execute a large‑scale redesign and segmentation of its AWS networking environment as the company transitions from a startup‑era platform to an enterprise‑grade, SOX‑compliant operating model. This role is execution‑focused—not architectural—working under a Staff Engineer / Architect to implement VPC redesigns, segmentation strategies, ingress/egress controls, and security hardening. The work directly reduces board‑level security risk while improving platform reliability and developer experience.
Applicable Job Titles
  • Senior Network Engineer
  • Senior AWS Network Engineer
  • Network Engineer
  • Network Architect
  • Lead Network Engineer
  • Network Administrator

Top Critical Skills & Experience (What Success Requires)
  • Deep AWS Networking Execution Experience (7+ years)
    Proven hands‑on experience building and modifying VPCs, subnets, routing, gateways, and security constructs at scale—no ramp‑up required.
  • Network Segmentation & Security Controls (7+ years)
    Demonstrated ability to isolate environments, control east/west and north/south traffic flows, and reduce overly permissive communication patterns in regulated environments.
  • Operational Execution & Reliability Focus (7+ years)
    Strong operational mindset with experience creating runbooks, handling remediation, and executing day‑to‑day networking work while parallelizing large initiatives.
  • Enterprise Security & Compliance Awareness
    Experience supporting SOX‑driven or audit‑driven environments, understanding how networking decisions impact risk posture and governance.
  • Execution Under Architectural Direction
    Comfortable executing defined designs under a Staff Engineer / Architect without owning end‑state architecture.

Required Skills, Tools, Technologies & Services
AWS Networking
  • Amazon VPC design and restructuring
  • Subnets, route tables, IGW/NAT Gateways
  • Ingress and egress traffic controls
  • Environment isolation and traffic segmentation
Network Segmentation & Security
  • Traffic isolation strategies
  • Reduction of hair‑pinning and overly permissive access
  • Security hardening aligned with compliance expectations
  • Support for audit and board‑visible risk reduction
Operational Execution
  • Ongoing AWS networking operations
  • Runbook creation and maintenance
  • Incident remediation and reliability improvements
  • Parallel execution of networking initiatives to unblock platform teams
Collaboration & Delivery

  • Execute changes without disrupting business operations

Nice‑to‑Have / Secondary Skills
  • Experience in high‑growth SaaS or startup‑to‑enterprise transitions
  • Exposure to large‑scale AWS environments with multiple teams
  • Familiarity with governance, audit, or security review processes

Business Context & Impact

  • Current AWS networking architecture presents high SOX and security risk
  • Board‑level urgency to improve security posture and platform reliability
  • Internal teams are capacity‑constrained and need senior execution support
  • Goal is a mature platform where developers do not need to understand networking

Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
  • High‑impact AWS network redesign with board‑level visibility
  • Greenfield enterprise security hardening work
  • Solve real AWS‑at‑scale networking problems
  • Clear architectural leadership and direction
  • Not a maintenance‑only role—focused on meaningful, lasting change
