Contract with option to extend or go permanent

Austin, TX (onsite)

We are looking for a Senior Principal Engineer / Network Load Balancing Engineer to join a high‑impact engineering team based in Round Rock, TX. This person will architect, build, and optimize global load‑balancing solutions that support mission‑critical applications used across distributed engineering environments. The role focuses on ensuring high availability, global traffic distribution, multi‑site resiliency, and peak performance across a large‑scale enterprise environment.

What You’ll Do

• Architect, configure, and operate global load‑balancing platforms (F5 BIG‑IP LTM/GTM, GSLB, HAProxy, NGINX, and other ADC technologies).
• Design and implement high‑availability and failover strategies across multiple global sites.
• Develop and refine traffic‑routing logic including iRules, DNS/GSLB policies, health checks, SSL termination, header manipulation, and L4/L7 flow engineering.
• Monitor, analyze, and optimize performance using enterprise observability tools.
• Partner closely with application owners, engineering teams, security groups, and architects.
• Lead troubleshooting for traffic‑flow issues, failover anomalies, latency, and performance events.
• Create and maintain runbooks, operational documentation, and incident‑response procedures.
• Lead incident response and performance tuning efforts.
• Test and qualify load balancers within business‑continuity environments and build test beds as needed.

What We’re Looking For (Essential Requirements)

• 13+ years of hands‑on load‑balancing experience supporting high‑traffic enterprise environments.
• Expert‑level knowledge of F5 BIG‑IP (LTM, GTM/GSLB), iRules, TCP/IP, DNS, SSL, and application‑traffic management.
• Strong understanding of high‑availability architectures, failover mechanisms, and routing protocols.
• Experience working in multi‑site global environments.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and documentation abilities.
• Load Balancers: F5 BIG‑IP, HAProxy, NGINX, NetScaler.
• Traffic Engineering: iRules, DNS/GSLB, SSL offloading, health checks, L4/L7 routing.
• Network Core: TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, network‑security fundamentals.
• HA & Resiliency: failover automation, multi‑site redundancy, DR strategies.
• Monitoring Tools: SolarWinds, ThousandEyes, Splunk.
• Experience using design tools such as Miro or Visio.

Nice to Have

• Background supporting large distributed systems or regulated enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with Citrix ADC, NetScaler, Cisco ACE, or hybrid‑cloud load‑balancing solutions.
• Relevant certifications (F5 CTS/CCE, CCNP, CCIE, etc.).
• Experience with enterprise‑scale monitoring platforms.
• Knowledge of business‑continuity strategies and approaches to high availability.

Why This Role Matters

This engineer ensures that globally distributed teams have access to reliable, fast, and highly available applications. Your work directly impacts uptime, resiliency, and productivity across the organization.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The client has delivered high‑level user flows (no visual designs yet), and these roles will translate those flows into clear, build‑ready requirements for engineering teams. This position is ideal for strong Product Analysts or Product Specialists who are comfortable operating with high autonomy, can move quickly in ambiguous environments, and can bridge communication between business, design, and development. Requirements clarity is mission‑critical, as the work involves partnering with external development teams.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

1+ years as a Product Specialist, Product Analyst, Product Owner, or Technical Business Analyst. Experience delivering public‑facing mobile apps (non‑negotiable). Strong understanding of native mobile architecture concepts (iOS/Android), integrations, and backend interactions. Proven ability to write clean, structured user stories and acceptance criteria that reduce rework. Experience working in Agile/Scrum with cross‑functional teams. Strong systems‑thinking skills: ability to work from flows or concepts (before visual design) and produce build‑ready detail. Excellent communication and documentation skills; able to adjust style for business, design, and engineering audiences. Proficiency with Jira, Azure DevOps, and Figma.
