• Design scalable, resilient, and secure GCP networking architectures supporting enterprise applications, infrastructure, and end users.
• Design and manage VPCs, Shared VPCs, subnets, routing, firewall policies, Cloud NAT, Cloud DNS, and private connectivity within GCP.
• Engineer hybrid connectivity utilizing technologies such as Cloud Interconnect, Cloud VPN, and Cloud Router.
• Design and optimize routing solutions utilizing technologies and protocols such as BGP, OSPF, MP-BGP, VXLAN, EVPN, and Geneve.
• Develop and support network security capabilities including firewalls, VPNs, proxies, network access controls, segmentation, and related security technologies.
• Support application delivery technologies including load balancing, content delivery, and traffic management solutions.
• Help automate network provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational processes across multi-cloud environments.
• Serve as a senior technical resource for complex cloud networking and network security challenges.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend improvements to the organization's networking and security capabilities.
• Participate in proofs of concept, lab testing, technical evaluations, and implementation of new technologies.
• Partner with cloud, infrastructure, security, application, and architecture teams to gather requirements and develop appropriate technical solutions.
• Participate throughout the engineering lifecycle, including requirements analysis, architecture, design, implementation, testing, troubleshooting, and production deployment.
• Work with technology vendors and service providers to evaluate solutions supporting enterprise networking strategies.
• Create and maintain architecture diagrams, engineering standards, implementation documentation, and operational procedures.
• Mentor engineers and help establish and promote technical standards and engineering best practices.

Requirements
