This Sr. Systems Design Engineer (Cloud Network) designs, implements, and operates hybrid cloud network infrastructure connecting T-Mobile’s multi-cloud environment to on-premises datacenters. Core specializations include hub-spoke network architecture, DC interconnect design (AWS Direct Connect / Azure ExpressRoute/GCP Interconnect), BGP routing policy, hybrid DNS architecture, and network automation via Terraform and Python. The role owns reliability and SRE accountability for cloud network functions — including on-call — and drives automation to eliminate manual operational toil. Success is measured by the reliability, performance, efficiency, and timely delivery of cloud network solutions. The work directly impacts organizational operations and customer experience by ensuring robust, scalable, and secure hybrid network infrastructure.
