Network Cloud Engineer
Location: East Lansing, MI | On-site
About the Opportunity
Our client is seeking a Network Cloud Engineer with a strong networking background. This is a hands-on infrastructure engineering role supporting a modern hybrid environment spanning Azure and on-premises infrastructure. The organization is in the midst of a large-scale Azure migration, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys designing, automating, and modernizing enterprise infrastructure. While the team supports a broad technology stack, this position is heavily focused on network engineering and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and support enterprise networking infrastructure including routing, switching, wireless, and perimeter security.
- Manage firewall policies and network segmentation while following established change management practices.
- Support the networking aspects of the organization's Azure migration, including VNets, Network Security Groups, Gateways, and Hybrid Connectivity.
- Build and manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and/or Ansible.
- Work within GitHub-based CI/CD workflows to deploy and manage infrastructure changes.
- Troubleshoot production networking issues across both cloud and on-premises environments.
- Participate in infrastructure projects involving automation, monitoring, performance, and reliability improvements.
- Collaborate closely with the Site Reliability Engineering team on cloud initiatives and infrastructure modernization.
- Participate in an on-call rotation supporting critical production infrastructure.
Qualifications
- 7+ years of IT infrastructure experience.
- Strong hands-on networking experience including: Routing & Switching, Enterprise Firewalls, VLANs, BGP / OSPF, NAT, WAN connectivity.
- Experience with Azure networking including: VNets, NSGs, Gateways, Hybrid networking.
- Proven Infrastructure as Code experience using Terraform and/or Ansible.
- Experience managing infrastructure through Git-based workflows (GitHub preferred).
- Experience working in CI/CD-driven infrastructure environments.
- Comfortable working with Linux and Windows infrastructure.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
Preferred Skills
- Experience supporting cloud migration initiatives from a networking perspective.
- Experience with Zero Trust networking technologies such as Microsoft Global Secure Access (GSA) or Cloudflare Zero Trust.
- Experience with modern networking platforms including SONiC, VyOS, or similar.
- VMware experience.
- Experience working in highly regulated industries such as financial services.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
This isn't a traditional network engineering position. The organization manages infrastructure through automation and Infrastructure as Code—not manual device configuration. They're looking for someone who can contribute immediately within GitHub-based deployment workflows rather than someone hoping to learn IaC after joining. The environment is also undergoing significant modernization, including:
- Enterprise Azure migration
- Greenfield Azure architecture and landing zones
- Transitioning network infrastructure to modern platforms
- Expanding Zero Trust capabilities
- Continued investment in automation and cloud engineering
You'll join a highly tenured Network Cloud Engineering team where you'll have the opportunity to influence architecture while working with modern infrastructure technologies.
