Cloud Network Engineer

The Cloud Network Engineer designs, implements, and manages complex multi-cloud and hybrid network infrastructures. This technical role is responsible for architecting connectivity solutions, implementing network security controls, managing cross-cloud networking, and ensuring reliable, secure, and high-performance network operations across AWS, Azure, on-premises data centers, and hybrid environments.

Responsibilities:

• Multi-Cloud Architecture & Design: Lead the design of comprehensive multi-cloud network architectures spanning AWS, Azure, and on-premises infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity, routing, and high availability. Architect hybrid cloud connectivity (AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, SD-WAN) and cross-cloud networking for disaster recovery and multi-region deployments.
• Cloud Networking Implementation: Deploy and manage core cloud networking services, including AWS VPC/Transit Gateway and Azure Virtual WAN/ExpressRoute. Configure routing protocols (BGP, static routes) and manage DNS architecture to ensure efficient packet flow and failover.
• VPN & Secure Connectivity: Design and implement site-to-site and point-to-site VPN solutions using IPsec/IKEv2, ensuring high availability, redundancy, and secure remote workforce access.
• Network Security: Architect defense-in-depth, zero-trust, and micro-segmentation strategies. Deploy network security controls including Security Groups, ACLs, WAF, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
• Enterprise & SDN Networking: Design Cisco-based infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls) and VMware NSX-based network virtualization. Automate network provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) to ensure repeatability.
• Performance & Operations: Conduct network performance analysis, capacity planning, and latency optimization. Execute network disaster recovery plans, failover testing, and business continuity procedures.

Requirements

• 5-8+ years of experience in network engineering or architecture, with at least 3 years focused on cloud networking in AWS and/or Azure environments.
• Mandatory Certifications: AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty and Azure Network Engineer Associate (AZ-700).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related technical discipline.
• Deep technical expertise in AWS and Azure networking services.
• Strong knowledge of routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP.
• Experience with VPN technologies and Cisco networking hardware.
• Hands-on experience with VMware NSX.
• Expertise in network security (firewalls, WAF, DDoS protection) and load balancing.
• Strong hands-on experience with network automation and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Python) for provisioning and configuration management.
