## Description

As Tech Lead for CDN & Cloud Networking on the Cloud Network team, you will set the technical direction for how traffic reaches Redfin and moves through our AWS environment: from the edge to origin, including the access controls around it. You'll be the engineer other teams turn to for edge, networking, and the person who makes the engineers around you more effective., * Set Technical Direction: Own strategy and architecture for Redfin's CDN, edge, and cloud network, turning a high-level vision into goals and designs that several engineering teams build on, and making choices that are right for the company as a whole.

 * Lead Ambiguous, Cross-Team Work: Take on open-ended problems with no obvious solution, define the goals, and drive them to measurable results with Platform, SEO, Infosec, and product teams, building consensus on complicated decisions along the way.
 * Be the Go-To Expert: Act as an authority on CDN and cloud networking, teaching and unblocking engineers across the organization through design reviews, clear written proposals, and incident support.
 * Multiply the Team: Mentor the team's next senior engineers, set the quality bar for Infrastructure as Code, and introduce the tooling and processes that reduce toil and technical debt. Interview senior candidates and help drive hiring decisions.
 * Evaluate & Measure: Stay current on industry trends, evaluate new AWS services and vendors and lead their adoption, and define the metrics (availability, latency, cost, security posture) that show the impact of the work.
