Full Job Description
About the team and the role:

Our Cloud Engineering Security team is responsible for building and scaling secure cloud infrastructure that enables our business to move fast without compromising safety. This team develops and implements security-by-design solutions across our cloud environments, working closely with platform, infrastructure, and application engineering teams to integrate security directly into systems, pipelines, and tooling.

They bring a strong engineering mindset to security-leveraging automation, infrastructure as code, and continuous integration practices to embed controls such as identity and access management, network security, and threat detection into the foundation of our platforms. Rather than operating as a gatekeeper, this team acts as a force multiplier, creating secure, reusable frameworks and tooling that empower teams to build safely and efficiently.

This role involves supporting efforts to optimize traffic flow, enhance system performance, and ensure scalable and secure network operations. It requires a foundational understanding of networking, proficiency in programming languages such as C++ and Go and experience with Kubernetes, Kubernetes CNI, IPAM and Service Mesh management.

What you will accomplish:
  • Support Traffic Management Solutions: Assist in the design, development, and maintenance of solutions to manage network traffic efficiently
  • Optimize Network Operations: Contribute to improving efficiency and performance
  • Develop High-Performance Applications: Utilize C++ and Go to support the creation of robust applications
  • Manage Scalability on Kubernetes: Help deploy and oversee scalable systems, focusing on Kubernetes CNI, IPAM and Service Mesh management
  • Implement CI/CD Processes: Integrate and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines to ensure efficient development and deployment workflows
  • Collaborate with Teams: Work with cross-functional teams to integrate networking solutions and learn from senior engineers
  • Contribute to Open-Source Projects: Participate in projects to keep eBay at the forefront of technology


What you will bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related fields
  • 5 years in networking and traffic management
  • Proficiency in C++ and Go, Kubernetes, Kubernetes CNI, and IPAM management


Preferred Skills:
  • Familiarity with Envoy for traffic management
  • Contributions to open-source projects
  • Relevant certifications and experience in medium-scale environments
  • Experience in Agile methodologies
