Cloud Networking Engineer

Engineering Full-Time Cincinnati, OH (or Remote)Cloud providers fail, and when they do, billions in SLA credits go unclaimed because the claims process is opaque and manual. Next Signal monitors major cloud vendors, detects disruptions in real time, and automatically manages the claims process so customers recover what they're owed without adding operational overhead.We're a small, technical team building something genuinely new. This is the kind of company you'll want to have been at from the start.The RoleYou'll build the systems that watch the clouds: network telemetry pipelines, outage detection logic, and the evidence collection infrastructure that wins our customers their money back. You'll own significant surface area from day one and work directly with the founding team.What This Role Is NotThis role is not for someone who prefers clearly defined playbooks or narrow, predictable responsibilities. It's not for engineers who would rather maintain existing systems than build new ones. If stability and incremental change are what you're looking for, this will feel misaligned.What You'll Work OnMonitoring systems that continuously probe AWS, GCP, and Azure to detect degradation before customers noticeTelemetry pipelines capturing latency, packet loss, DNS resolution, and availability signals across regionsOutage detection logic that turns raw signals into timestamped, evidence-backed incident recordsCloud networking infrastructure using VPCs, Transit Gateways, routing, and related primitivesInfrastructure as Code across the platformHow We WorkShip end-to-end features with guidance; own them over timeWrite AI-native; 80%+ of code is written with AI assistance and we expect fluency with these toolsOptimize for speed, avoid over-engineering, and stay honest about tradeoffsWork in a 0-to-1 codebase where the decisions you make today will matter for yearsWhat You Bring3+ years in cloud infrastructure, network engineering, or a related disciplineHands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider; multi-cloud exposure is a plusWorking knowledge of cloud networking: VPCs, subnets, routing, load balancers, DNS, VPN/Direct ConnectAbility to write production-grade code (Go, Python, or similar)Comfort working with APIs at scale: polling, event-driven patterns, rate limiting, reliabilityAbility to take loosely defined problems and drive toward a working solution without a specExperience scaling and designing distributed systemsObsessive attention to the details others skip, treating architecture as the user experience because our users are developersAn ego in check: a bias for shipping great software over winning arguments, measuring yourself by impact and winning or losing as a teamResilience and adaptability to build from scratch, seeing an undefined roadmap as a blank canvas rather than a roadblockBonus3+ years of experience building monitoring, telemetry, or observability systemsStartup or 0-to-1 experienceCompensationCompetitive salary and meaningful equityRemote-friendly with team offsitesSmall, trusting team of senior + staff engineersDefault async with minimal bureaucracyWe'd love to hear how you think about building systems that watch the clouds.J-18808-Ljbffr
