• Operate and monitor VPC networking, IPSec tunnels, and transitional connectivity solutions during backbone rollout.
• Coordinate operational readiness and cutover support for the dedicated high bandwidth backbone link (100 Gbps)

Segmentation, Isolation & Security Operations

• Enforce and manage network segmentation across environments to isolate workloads and administrative traffic.
• Operate security groups, firewall rules, and inbound/outbound access policies as per approved designs.
• Ensure least privilege access and clear separation of user, service, and administrative paths

DNS, IP Addressing & Network Hygiene

• Support DNS configurations and IP address management (IPAM) across hybrid environments.
• Assist in conflict resolution, routing issues, and name resolution failures impacting workloads.
• Maintain accurate documentation of network ranges, zones, and dependencies

Performance Monitoring & Validation

• Monitor and validate bandwidth, latency, and packet integrity relevant to data transfer and training workloads.
• Support troubleshooting of network performance issues impacting GPU/CPU compute workloads.
• Work with architecture teams to validate assumptions and escalate capacity or design gaps.

Incident Management & Support Readiness

• Act as the first-level technical lead during network incidents and outages.
• Coordinate issue triage, escalation, and resolution across cloud, network, and on prem teams.
• Maintain and execute operational runbooks for common incidents, maintenance, and recovery scenarios.
