About the Team and Role
The eBay Cloud team powers the foundational cloud infrastructure that supports thousands of eBay applications. As one of the largest private cloud platforms in the industry, we operate and manage hundreds of Kubernetes clusters across diverse environments, comprising millions of compute instances.
The Traffic team is critical to the availability and performance of eBay's private cloud. Our responsibilities encompass the end-to-end management of all cloud traffic infrastructure, including load balancing, global traffic management (GTM), Point of Presence (PoP), service mesh, API gateways, and advanced network policies. We design, deploy, and operate high-performance, fault-tolerant traffic routing solutions that handle billions of daily requests, ensuring seamless, low-latency connectivity for both internal microservices and external customer traffic. This involves continuous optimization of data plane performance, rigorous security enforcement at the edge and within the cluster, and developing self-service tools that empower application teams to configure their connectivity reliably and securely across our massive global footprint.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Cloud Traffic Engineering Manager to lead a team responsible for the development, operations, and governance of one of the largest private clouds in the world based on Kubernetes.
You will guide and mentor a team of hardworking engineers in building and maintaining robust, secure, and scalable cloud offerings that empower eBay’s core product engineering organizations and initiatives.
