    Job Description

    A core focus of this role is managing customer connectivity, including VPC Endpoint Services, Load Balancing (NLB, ALB), VPNs, and Direct Connect/MPLS across cloud environments. The ideal candidate will have strong networking expertise, cloud cost optimization experience, and hands-on infrastructure automation skills.


    Key Responsibilities:

    Cloud Networking & Infrastructure Management:
    Design, deploy, and manage multi-cloud networking solutions (VPC, VNet, Cloud VPN, Private Link, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, and Interconnect).
    Implement VPC Endpoint Services, NLBs, and target groups to facilitate secure customer connectivity.
    Optimize traffic routing, hybrid cloud networking, and cross-region connectivity to ensure high availability and performance.
    Manage firewalls, security groups, and network ACLs to maintain a secure infrastructure.
    Monitor latency, throughput, and reliability metrics to improve overall network efficiency.
    Troubleshoot complex networking issues, including VPN tunnels, BGP peering, and DNS resolution.

    Cloud Cost Optimization & Efficiency:
    Implement cloud cost management strategies, including reserved instances, spot instances, auto-scaling, and rightsizing.
    Monitor and optimize data transfer costs, ensuring efficient routing and minimizing egress charges.
    Establish FinOps best practices, providing cost visibility and accountability across teams.
    Automate infrastructure provisioning and scaling using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM Templates).

    Security, Compliance, and Reliability:
    Ensure cloud environments adhere to security best practices and regulatory standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
    Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions across cloud environments (AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, GCP Cloud Operations Suite).
    Collaborate with security teams to enforce Zero Trust architectures and least privilege access controls.
    Maintain disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) plans for cloud infrastructure.

    Collaboration & Leadership:
    Work closely with Engineering, DevOps, Security, and FinOps teams to align cloud strategies with business needs.
    Provide leadership and mentorship to cloud engineers and infrastructure specialists.
    Standardize multi-cloud management processes to ensure consistent operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

    Requirements

    Required Skills and Experience:
    7+ years of hands-on experience managing cloud networking and infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
    Deep expertise in cloud networking services (VPCs, VNets, VPNs, Private Link, Direct Connect, NLBs, target groups, and hybrid networking).
    Strong understanding of cloud cost management and optimization techniques.
    Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates.
    Familiarity with network security controls, such as security groups, firewalls, and WAFs.
    Experience with cloud monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Stackdriver).
    Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills in complex networking environments.
    Ability to work collaboratively across teams, including Engineering, Security, and FinOps.



    Preferred Qualifications:
    FinOps Certified Practitioner or similar cloud cost management certification.
    Experience working with containerized workloads and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker).
    Knowledge of multi-cloud networking platforms (e.g., Aviatrix, Cloudflare, Equinix Fabric).
    Experience managing high-performance, low-latency network architectures.
    Familiarity with SIEM tools and security compliance frameworks.

    Why Join Us?
    Work on cutting-edge cloud networking solutions, bridging multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructures.
    Have a direct impact on cloud performance, security, and cost efficiency.
    Collaborate with a highly skilled team of engineers and security professionals.
