Senior Technical Lead, Software Engineer (Database & Storage Network)

You are responsible for optimizing database and storage network traffic across hybrid environments (cloud and on-prem). This role focuses on creating repeatable connectivity patterns and best practices that align with the current infrastructure, accelerate cloud migration, and further optimize on-prem-to-cloud connectivity, including introducing new patterns for specialized use cases., * Optimize DB/storage traffic performance and resiliency across on-prem and AWS (latency, throughput, loss), including routing, segmentation, and QoS where applicable.

• Standardize and automate hybrid connectivity patterns using IaC and scripting to accelerate delivery and reduce operational risk.
• Enable migration waves by removing network blockers, defining "migration-ready" baselines, and improving observability and troubleshooting readiness., * Codify standards into reusable IaC modules/templates and automated validation checks to reduce variance and speed delivery.
• Stay hands-on: test, troubleshoot, and implement improvements directly, including building lightweight tooling where needed.
• Drive measurable outcomes with clear baselines, metrics, and regression prevention practices.
• Partner effectively across cloud, platform, storage, and application teams to unblock migrations and ensure adoption of reference designs.

• 12-15+ years of experience designing, operating, and optimizing on-prem enterprise networks supporting database and storage traffic.
• 5-10 years of hands-on AWS networking experience in production environments, including hybrid connectivity between on-prem and AWS.
• Strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC) experience (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation) to define, deploy, and standardize network/connectivity patterns.
• Hands-on scripting and coding ability to automate validation, monitoring, and operational workflows (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell).
• Proven expertise in routing/path selection, failover behavior, MTU, segmentation, and traffic engineering where applicable for DB/storage workloads.
• Experience building observability/monitoring and operational playbooks for network performance and incident response.
• Metrics-driven approach to continuous improvement (e.g., latency, packet loss, throughput, change success rate).
