Manage and secure cloud services like AWS (VPC, Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, Route 53), and optimize security measures using WAF/Shield, CloudFront, and other cloud-native tools.

Experience and Background:

5+ years of experience in network engineering, with a strong emphasis on cloud networking across AWS environments (AWS Certifications are a plus).
Strong experience with AWS network services, including Virtual Private Cloud, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route 53, WAF/Shield, and CloudFront.
Extensive expertise using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Python, Ansible, and Bash to automate and streamline the management of cloud and hybrid infrastructures.
Skilled in managing bare-metal servers, switches, routers, and data center environments, focusing on seamlessly integrating cloud solutions.
Expertise in Linux systems and managing cloud-native load balancers and reverse proxies such as HAProxy or Envoy.
Ability to work collaboratively across geographically distributed teams.
Preparedness for on-call rotations to ensure the continuous availability of cloud and network services.
