Title- Network Engineer
1. Design & Deploy Scalable Networks: Architect and implement secure, cloud-native networks (on-prem, AWS/GCP, hybrid) for IP routing, segmentation, and traffic management (e.g., VPCs, VXLANS, BGP, SD-WAN, NLB).
2. Automate Network Operations: Reduce manual intervention through infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Python). Example: Automate firewall rule updates, VLAN provisioning, or network topology validation.
3. Troubleshoot & Resolve Critical Issues: Diagnose and remediate network incidents (DNS, routing, security) within SLAs; lead post-mortems to prevent recurrence.
4. Monitoring and optimisation of Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure: Tune performance for cloud-scale workloads (e.g., Kubernetes clusters, serverless apps) using tools like Prometheus, CloudWatch, and network monitoring (e.g., Datadog, Splunk).
5. Secure Network Operations: Implement and maintain security controls (firewalls, IDPS, zero-trust principles) for both public/private clouds and on-prem environments. Automation of key update for TLS-secured applications and infrastructure.
6. Document & Scale Knowledge: Create and maintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, and operational guides for consistency.
Required Qualifications & Experience
1. 5+ years of enterprise networking experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining secure networks (TCP/IP, routing, firewalls, switching) for cloud and hybrid environments
2. Production experience with cloud networking (AWS VPC or GCP VPC) and Kubernetes networking
3. Proven ability to automate network operations using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools (eg. Pulumi, Ansible, Terraform) and scripting (Python, Shell)
4. Hands-on troubleshooting of network incidents (DNS, routing, security)
5. Direct experience with cloud-scale infrastructure including data center cabling, power, cooling, and high-availability designs
6. Security-focused networking skills: Implementation of firewall policies, network segmentation, and zero-trust principles
7. Operational proficiency: Experience with monitoring (Prometheus, Splunk) and incident response workflows for network issues
8. Cloud-native networking knowledge: Understanding of overlay networks (VXLAN, GRE, IPsec) and multi-cloud network architectures
Preferred Qualifications & Experience
* Proficiency in cloud-native security (e.g., AWS Network Access Control Lists, GCP VPC Service Controls)
* Experience with observability (e.g., network tracing with Wireshark, Jaeger)
* Experience with AI/ML workloads (e.g., optimizing network for GPU clusters, low-latency AI services)
* Certifications: CCNP, AWS Certified Network Associate, or GCP Professional Networking
* Familiarity with mTLS and PKI
