What You'll Do :

We are seeking a Staff Network Security Engineer to architect the defense of our global backbone, edge, and massive-scale GPU clusters. We are looking for a builder, not an administrator. You will move beyond "configuring firewalls" to engineering security into the network fabric itself—utilizing telemetry, automation, and deep protocol

On this team, you will :

  • Unravel and tackle network security challenges at an exhilarating global scale.
  • Collaborate with exceptional network architects and engineers building the backbone infrastructure for the AI revolution.
  • Enjoy the freedom and support to experiment, innovate, and significantly shape our approach to securing the underlay and overlay of our cloud.

About the role :

In this role, you will :

  • Conducting architecture reviews, protocol analysis, and design assessments to proactively identify and fix vulnerabilities in our backbone and data center fabrics.
  • Developing robust, repeatable frameworks for network security automation (CoPP, ACL generation, Route Filtering) that make it easy for teams to build securely from day one.
  • Collaborating closely with Network Engineering teams to integrate security checks and validation seamlessly into their CI / CD and config-push pipelines.
  • Crafting clear, practical security guidance and documentation that empowers engineers to deploy secure routing policies and topologies.
  • Actively participating in architectural discussions regarding peering, transit, and traffic engineering, providing insightful security recommendations.
  • Occasionally, 'drawing the owl' - figuring out innovative solutions for securing massive throughput environments while navigating ambiguous situations.
  • Who You Are :

  • 7+ years of experience directly focused on Network Engineering, Infrastructure Security, or ISP / Backbone operations.
  • Strong skills in core network protocols (BGP, OSPF / IS-IS, TCP / IP) and deep knowledge of how they function at the packet level.
  • Solid experience developing network automation or security tooling in Go, Python, or similar modern languages.
  • Proven experience collaborating with network architects to implement secure designs in multi-vendor environments (Arista EOS, SONiC, Juniper, etc.).
  • Excellent ability to negotiate and reach consensus with engineers and fellow security practitioners, as well as excellent technical documentation skills.
  • Familiarity with Linux networking internals, control plane protection, and managing infrastructure as code.
  • Preferred :

  • Hands-on experience with hyperscale network architectures (CLOS fabrics, MPLS / EVPN, VXLAN) and the unique security challenges of high-performance computing.
  • Familiarity with hardware-level networking security (SmartNICs / DPUs, connectX) and flow-based telemetry analysis.
  • Deep understanding of internet routing security standards (RPKI, MANRS) and advanced DDoS mitigation strategies at the network layer.
  • Hands-on experience with Infiniband and RoCE
  • Why CoreWeave?
