We are looking for a
Staff Network Engineer to serve as the technical lead for Procore's corporate network across on-premises and cloud environments. As the Staff Network Engineer on our
IT Infrastructure team, you will work closely with Security, Cloud/Platform Engineering, IT leadership, and external partners to establish reference architectures, advance our Zero Trust/SASE strategy, and build scalable network automation. Your strengths in enterprise network architecture, Zero Trust/SASE platforms (Zscaler ZIA/ZPA), and cloud networking infrastructure will drive your success.
You will report to the Manager of Network Engineering and will be based in our
Carpinteria, CA office.What You'll Do- Own the long-term technical direction, multi-year roadmap, and reference architecture for Procore's global network footprint across corporate offices, data centers, and multi-cloud IaaS environments.
- Lead the architectural evolution and operational maturity of our enterprise SASE/SSE platform (Zscaler ZIA and ZPA), transitioning legacy perimeter access to a secure, least-privilege Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) model.
- Partner with Identity, InfoSec, and Platform teams to integrate network access controls with identity providers (SAML/SCIM), device posture validation, and SIEM logging pipelines.
- Drive network automation and infrastructure-as-code initiatives, engineering scalable tooling that reduces operational toil and enforces consistent configuration standards across global environments.
- Serve as the principal escalation authority for critical network incidents, directing root-cause investigations and implementing durable architectural remediations.
- Mentor and elevate network engineering team members through technical design reviews, knowledge sharing, and establishing best-in-class operational standards.
- Conduct vendor evaluations and technology assessments to deliver well-reasoned build-versus-buy recommendations aligned with enterprise compliance, capacity, and performance requirements.
What You Bring- Extensive enterprise network engineering experience designing, deploying, and operating highly available routing (BGP, OSPF), switching, SD-WAN, and hybrid cloud network topologies.
- Proven hands-on production expertise architecting and administering SASE/ZTNA platforms at enterprise scale, with deep knowledge of Zscaler ZIA and ZPA (or comparable platforms such as Palo Alto Prisma Access, Netskope, or Cloudflare One).
- Strong technical background in multi-cloud networking (AWS and/or Azure/GCP), including transit gateway design, VPC/VNet peering, direct interconnects, and hybrid cloud connectivity.
- Demonstrated capability with network automation and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Python, Ansible, Terraform) to manage distributed network state programmatically.
- In-depth understanding of enterprise security engineering, including next-generation firewalls, TLS/SSL inspection, PKI/cryptography in transit, microsegmentation, and zero-trust policies.
- Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills, with a track record of driving consensus on complex technical architectures across IT, Engineering, and Security teams.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical work experience; advanced industry certifications (e.g., CCIE/CCNP, ZDTA/ZDTE, or Cloud Network Specialties) are a plus.
Strong-fit Background Might Include- Enterprise Network Architect or Principal Network Engineer specializing in global SASE/Zero Trust migrations
- Cloud Network Infrastructure Engineer bridging enterprise data centers with AWS/Azure hybrid environments
- Network Security Engineer with extensive production experience scaling Zscaler (ZIA/ZPA) and identity-aware proxy architectures
- Network Automation Engineer with deep expertise in Python, Terraform, and automated configuration compliance
