  • Build automation for network provisioning using Terraform/CloudFormation.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot performance, latency, and packet flow.
  • Implement network logging, inspection, and observability.
  • Partner with security teams to deliver zero-trust and identity-aware network designs.
  • Support Kubernetes networking (EKS, CNI, service mesh).
  • Learn and apply GCP networking architectures to support multi-cloud expansion.
  • Mentor junior engineers and set network best practices.
Operational
  • Lead cloud networking initiatives and CI/CD automation.
  • Provide senior-level troubleshooting and escalation support.

  • 4+ years AWS cloud networking (VPC, TGW, routing, VPN/IPSec, DNS, load balancing).
  • 3+ years automation-driven infrastructure (Terraform/CloudFormation).
  • 3+ years Linux networking.
  • Strong scripting (Python preferred).
  • Git-based network-as-code experience (GitHub, GitLab, CodeCommit).
Preferred Qualifications
  • AWS Advanced Networking Specialty or equivalent depth.
  • GCP networking experience or ramp-readiness.
  • Experience designing SD-WAN or hybrid WAN architectures.
  • Familiarity with service meshes (Istio/Linkerd) and container networking.
