• Build transit hub topologies using AWS Transit Gateway, Azure Virtual WAN, or GCP Network Connectivity Center.
• Design and implement hybrid connectivity using Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, Cloud Interconnect, and VPN.
• Automate cloud networking with Terraform, providing infrastructure-as-code coverage across the network estate.
• Implement network security controls including firewalls, NACLs, security groups, and DDoS protection.
• Operate Kubernetes networking including CNI selection, ingress strategies, and service exposure patterns.
• Build observability for cloud networking including flow logs, traffic insights, and packet capture.
• Drive cost optimization including data transfer reduction and right-sizing of network resources.
• Partner with security teams to harden the network perimeter and enforce zero-trust principles.
• Troubleshoot complex cloud networking issues across cloud and hybrid environments.
• Stay current with cloud networking platform updates and emerging patterns.

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code for cloud networking, especially Terraform.
• Strong understanding of cloud security and network controls.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes networking and service mesh fundamentals.
• Strong troubleshooting and packet-level analysis skills.

Qualifications

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Cloud networking specialty certifications (AWS Advanced Networking, Azure Network Engineer).
• Experience with multi-cloud networking and cloud-to-cloud connectivity.
• Familiarity with SD-WAN platforms and SASE architectures.
• Experience with eBPF-based networking tools.
• Exposure to regulated industries with strict network segmentation requirements.
