SW Dev Manager, Network Controllers, CLOS Fabric Engineering (CFE)

About the role

The team runs one of the largest networks on the planet, keeping it secure, compliant, and growing while simplifying its design and driving costs down. This role involves building a new team from the ground up and owning a portfolio of services that directly address the operational challenges faced by the network.

• Own outcomes, not just output. Define the metrics that tell you whether your services are working, set the bar for quality and reliability, and hold the team accountable to continuous improvement.
• Work backwards from customers. Engage with internal stakeholders — network engineers, partner teams — to understand what they need and translate that into a prioritized roadmap.
• Operate in a distributed environment. Collaborate day-to-day with peer managers and engineers across multiple sites, ensuring your team is well-integrated, not siloed.
• Grow your engineers. Coach and mentor software engineers at all levels, invest in career development, and create an environment where people do their best work.
