The role in plain terms

Banking infrastructure raises the reliability bar: per the listing, over 25 million cards run on Zeta-powered platforms, so network changes carry real transaction risk. The requirements blend network engineering (DNS, TGW, Direct Connect) with infrastructure-as-code and scripting, which defines a modern cloud network engineer rather than a traditional network admin. The 'II' level signals solid mid-level: expected to own troubleshooting and automation independently.

The team and the work

Per the listing, the role sits in production operations, supporting the cloud-native processing and core banking platforms Zeta provides to issuers across multiple countries.

What the employer asks for

These requirements are quoted from the employer's listing, kept in their exact words so eligibility details are not distorted:

Hands-on experience with AWS (mandatory), Linux, Kubernetes (EKS preferred), and Terraform or Cross plane.
Strong scripting skills in Python or Bash for infrastructure and network automation.
Good understanding of cloud networking, DNS, Load Balancers, VPC, Security Groups, TGW, Direct Connect, VPC Endpoint and REST APIs.
Experience with CI/CD tools, Git, Helm, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
Knowledge of observability tools (Monitoring, Logging, Metrics, and Alerting) and DevSecOps best practices.
Familiarity with AI-powered developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to improve coding, automation, troubleshooting, and operational efficiency.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and collaboration skills with a passion for learning new technologies and automation.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field (Computer Science, Information Technology, etc.).

Who this role suits

Cloud or network engineers with hands-on AWS networking, Terraform and Python/Bash automation who want high-stakes fintech infrastructure. Not for network engineers without cloud and IaC experience - AWS is mandatory per the listing.

Practical notes

For cloud network roles, expect scenario questions: diagnose a cross-VPC connectivity failure, design DNS for a multi-account setup, automate a runbook. Scripting ability gets tested practically.

Working at Zeta

Engineering at Zeta centres on payments and banking infrastructure where correctness, compliance and scale are direct product requirements.
