- WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH Nike's Cloud Networking team, part of Cloud & Core Engineering's Runtime Plane, provisions cloud networking primitives across AWS and Azure. The India-based team partners with engineers in Beaverton to deliver VPC, Transit Gateway, CloudWAN
- multi-cloud reachability at enterprise scale. The greater team partners with Runtime Plane domain control planes, product engineering
- operations groups to keep network provisioning reliable, automated
- consistent at scale. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR Nike is seeking a Software Engineer II to help build the next generation of its Cloud Networking Control Plane - a declarative, Kubernetes-native platform that provisions and reconciles cloud networking across hundreds of AWS accounts and a growing Azure footprint. The ideal candidate is an individual contributor who delivers features end-to-end on Crossplane compositions, Kubernetes controllers
- supporting automation. They write Go, work in Kubernetes daily
- operate AWS and Azure networking primitives at enterprise scale. The role requires proficiency in Go and solid Terraform experience, including module development, state management, plan/apply lifecycles
- drift management. Candidates should have working knowledge of Kubernetes - reading manifests, understanding controllers and CRDs
- using kubectl in production, with prior exposure to writing controllers or CRDs as a plus. Familiarity with Crossplane , kubebuilder , operator- sdk
- comparable Kubernetes-native infrastructure patterns is expected. Experience with AWS core networking (VPCs, subnets, route tables, security groups, NACLs, VPC endpoints) is required, with Azure networking experience as a plus. Comfort with Git workflows, code review, CI/CD pipelines, Linux environments
- clear technical writing is essential. The candidate needs to have strong software engineering fundamentals, ownership of well-scoped deliverables
- the ability to write documentation others can operate without them in the room. They must be comfortable with Go, Kubernetes, Terraform
- cloud networking primitives
- able to participate in on-call rotation and cross- timezone collaboration with engineers in the U.S.
- 2-4 years of professional software engineering experience building and operating cloud infrastructure or backend services.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science , a related engineering discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
- Proficiency in Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS core networking
- Crossplane or comparable Kubernetes-native infrastructure experience preferred. WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON You'll contribute Go code and automation to Nike's Cloud Networking Control Plane, delivering features end-to-end on Crossplane compositions, Kubernetes controllers, and Terraform-based provisioning paths while helping migrate Nike's cloud network topology to a Kubernetes-native control plane.
- You'll contribute Go code to Crossplane compositions, Custom Resource Definitions, Kubernetes controllers, and supporting tools.
- You'll extend and maintain Terraform modules and per-account intake configurations, and help migrate those patterns onto the Kubernetes-native control plane.
- You'll build automation that provisions AWS networking primitives - VPCs, Transit Gateway attachments, CloudWAN segments, VPC endpoints
- PrivateLink services - and Azure networking as Nike's multi-cloud footprint grows.
- You'll own well-scoped features from design through review, testing, deployment, and post-launch verification.
- You'll write tests, runbooks, and documentation that other engineers (and automation) can operate without you in the room.
- You'll participate in on-call rotation for the systems you contribute to, including incident response and post-incident follow-up.
- You'll review peer pull requests with attention to consistency, error handling, and blast-radius considerations across hundreds of AWS accounts.
