    Director of Network Engineering - Sunnyvale, United States - Proofpoint

    Default job background
    Description

    It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing

    We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

    Corporate Overview

    In today's cyber threat landscape, protection starts with people. At Proofpoint, that simple truth fuels our passion for protecting users, the data they create, and the systems they rely on from a uniquely people-centric perspective.

    And we are just as passionate about finding the right people to help us in that mission. When you join Proofpoint, you are helping to:

    • Build and enhance our proven security platform
    • Blend innovation and speed in a constantly evolving cloud environment
    • Analyze new threats and offer deep insight through data-driven intel
    • Collaborate with customers to help solve their toughest security challenges
    We are devoted to helping our customers protect their greatest assets and biggest security risk: their people. That is why we are a leader in next-generation cybersecurity-and more than half of the Fortune 100 trust us as a security partner.

    Position Overview:

    We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Director of Network Engineering to lead our network infrastructure operations team. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of designing, implementing, and managing complex network architectures in colocation as well as public cloud environments, including Azure, GCP, and AWS. In addition to technical expertise, the candidate should possess strong leadership and strategic planning skills to drive our network engineering initiatives forward. This role reports directly to the VP of Global Operations and offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our network infrastructure.

    Key Responsibilities:
    • Network Architecture Design and Implementation: Lead the design, implementation, and optimization of scalable and secure network architectures across our global colocation footprint as well as Azure, GCP, and AWS platforms.
    • Team Leadership and Development: Manage and mentor a globally distributed team of network engineers, providing guidance, support, and professional development opportunities.
    • Cloud Networking Expertise: Drive innovation in cloud networking technologies and best practices, ensuring alignment with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
    • Security and Compliance: Collaborate with the security and compliance teams to implement and maintain SOC2, FedRAMP, and PCI controls within the network infrastructure and support regular audit activities.
    • Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize network performance, reliability, and scalability to meet the evolving needs of the business.
    • Vendor Management: Evaluate and manage relationships with network infrastructure vendors and service providers to ensure the delivery of high-quality services and solutions.
    • Strategic Planning: Develop and execute strategic plans for the evolution of the network infrastructure, aligning with business objectives and industry trends and staying ahead of planned obsolescence.
    • Capacity Management and Procurement: Partner closely with Product and Engineering teams to determine future capacity needs to support organic and inorganic growth. Align with Finance and Procurement groups to forecast expenses and deliver capacity.
    • Risk Management: Identify and mitigate network-related risks, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical business data and services.
    Requirements:
    • U.S. Citizenship required.
    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. Master's degree preferred.
    • Minimum of 10 years of hands-on experience in network engineering/operations, with at least 5 years in a leadership or managerial role.
    • Extensive experience designing, implementing, and managing network architectures in on-prem and cloud environments, including Azure, GCP, and AWS.
    • Strong understanding of security and compliance frameworks, such as SOC2, FedRAMP, and PCI, with a track record of implementing relevant controls.
    • Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams at all levels of the organization.
    • Proven ability to think strategically, ruthlessly and relentlessly prioritize initiatives and resources, pivot effortlessly, and drive results in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
    • Relevant certifications such as CCIE, CCNP, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, or equivalent are highly desirable.
    • Experience in industries with stringent regulatory requirements, such as healthcare, FISMA, or FinServ, is a plus.
    Location:

    The ideal candidate will be near one of Proofpoint's main offices in Sunnyvale, California, or Draper, Utah, and would work in a 'hybrid' model. Candidates outside those locations may be considered for remote work but must have a proven and prolonged former track record of effectively managing teams remotely and willing to travel to our offices on a regular basis.
