Job description
- Enterprise Network Engineering - Design, implement, and support highly available network infrastructure across on-prem data centers, private cloud, AWS, and Azure. Engineer resilient Layer 2/Layer 3 architectures including routing, switching, BGP, OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN, and SDN technologies. Support enterprise resiliency and disaster recovery.
- Infrastructure Automation - Build IaC solutions using Terraform; develop reusable modules and standardized deployment patterns. Automate network provisioning and configuration management. Integrate automation into Git-based CI/CD pipelines. Eliminate manual networking activities through automation-first engineering.
- Scripting & Automation - Develop automation using Python, PowerShell, Bash, and REST APIs to handle provisioning, validation, compliance verification, drift detection, operational reporting, and health monitoring.
- Network Isolation & Segmentation - Lead enterprise initiatives for network isolation, secure enclaves, air-gapped environments, Isolated Recovery Environments (IRE), secure management networks, and recovery architectures. Design secure separation between production, non-production, recovery, cyber recovery, and management networks.
- Micro-Segmentation - Design and implement enterprise micro-segmentation using VMware NSX, Illumio, Cisco Secure Workload, cloud-native security groups, Azure NSGs, AWS Security Groups, and Network ACLs. Manage East-West traffic control, Zero Trust architectures, least-privilege access, dynamic policy enforcement, and application dependency mapping.
- Cloud Networking - Engineer networking solutions across AWS (VPCs, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route Tables, PrivateLink, Network Firewall) and Azure (VNets, ExpressRoute, Virtual WAN, Azure Firewall, NSGs, Application Gateway, Load Balancer).
- Security Engineering - Collaborate with Cyber Security to implement Zero Trust networking, Network Access Control, secure remote connectivity, firewall architecture, IDS/IPS, DDoS protection, secure DNS, certificate management, and encryption in transit.
- Resiliency Engineering - Design networking solutions supporting High Availability, Disaster Recovery, active-active/passive architectures, multi-region cloud deployments, automated failover, resilient routing, and critical application recovery.
- Monitoring & Observability - Implement enterprise network observability using tools like ThousandEyes, SolarWinds, Dynatrace, Splunk, Grafana, Prometheus, and cloud-native monitoring. Develop dashboards, KPIs, and automated alerting for proactive network operations.
