Job description

We are seeking an experienced Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to lead our multi-cloud networking and infrastructure, ensuring secure, efficient, and cost-effective connectivity between customers and our datacenters. This role is responsible for designing, optimizing, and maintaining cloud networking solutions across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) while implementing cost-control and governance strategies., 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

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.
