Wilmington, DE

Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Remote

The Network Engineering Team Lead (Cloud) leads a team of network engineers responsible for designing, implementing, securing, and maintaining the organization's cloud and hybrid network infrastructure. This role combines hands-on technical leadership with people management, ensuring network reliability, scalability, and security across multi-cloud and on-premises environments while mentoring engineers and driving process improvement.

Some of the things that you’ll be doing:

Team Leadership & Supervision

- Supervise, mentor, and develop a team of cloud network engineers, including performance management, scheduling, and career development.
- Assign and prioritize project work, incident response, and on-call rotations.
- Conduct 1:1s, performance reviews, and support hiring/onboarding of team members.

Cloud Network Architecture & Engineering

- Design and oversee implementation of secure, scalable network architectures primarily in Azure (VPCs/VNets, subnets, peering, transit gateways, load balancers).
- Manage hybrid connectivity solutions (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, SD-WAN).
- Own network segmentation, routing, DNS, and firewall policy design in cloud environments.

Operations & Reliability

- Ensure high availability and performance of cloud network infrastructure; lead incident response and root-cause analysis for network outages.
- Establish and monitor SLAs/SLOs for network performance and uptime.
- Drive automation of network provisioning and configuration management.
- Drive Elastic Observability implementation.

Security & Compliance

- Partner with security teams to enforce network security best practices (zero trust, micro-segmentation, encryption in transit).
- Ensure compliance with relevant standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS as applicable).
- Support audits and vulnerability remediation efforts related to network infrastructure.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Work closely with Cloud, DevOps, Security, and application teams to support infrastructure and deployment needs.
- Serve as an escalation point for complex network issues.
- Communicate network strategy, risks, and roadmap to IT leadership
