JOB DESCRIPTION
The Cloud Services Infrastructure (CSI) engineering team at Cisco delivers the technology that's transforming the way product teams secure their networks, and more importantly, their users.
As a Cloud Engineer, you will be a key member of the Platform team, supporting containerized internet security services in our globally distributed data centers. Our team is responsible for the networks and hosts that support thousands of low-latency, high-throughput network security services. At its core, the CSI Engineering team provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service for engineering in dozens of our “Edge” data centers.
The Platform Service team is looking for a Cloud Engineer to help us build and operate our globally distributed application multi-stack platform. We support cloud-native security applications running at an internet scale. This team works closely with the rest of the Infrastructure Engineering teams to build core internet architecture, security applications, and distributed systems at scale.
Our team strongly believes in infrastructure automation, and we are committed to automating all our repetitive tasks such as configuration management and auto-remediation of incidents. We are a globally distributed team supporting over three dozen data centers servicing thousands of containerized services.
You have experience with high-availability compute platforms and understand how to build scalable infrastructure. You have an excellent understanding of containerization technologies and a solid grounding in networking concepts. You strive to build systems that are automated, performant, and resilient. You understand cloud design principles and are comfortable operating in a modern DevOps environment. You thrive in a respectful and inclusive team culture.
The team could be a good fit for you if some of these apply to you:
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.
We embrace digital and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we're “old” (39 years strong) and only about hardware, but we're also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns, and protects. No other company can do what we do - you can't put us in a box!
But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it).
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA). We take accountability, bold steps, and take differences to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don't care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That's cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world-changing? Be you, with us!

When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. hiring location.

U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco pays at the standard rate of 1% of incentive target for each 1% revenue attainment against the quota up to 100%. Once performance exceeds 100% quota attainment, incentive rates may increase up to five times the standard rate with no cap on incentive compensation. For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
