This role focuses on translating high-level architecture and platform design into clear, implementable network requirements, ensuring that cloud networking solutions are consistent, secure, and aligned with enterprise standards. You will work closely with the Cloud Platform Architect, Network Architect, and Cloud Engineering teams to guide implementation decisions and resolve complex networking challenges. This is not a pure build role. Instead, you will be a highly consulted technical expert responsible for shaping how cloud network designs are applied in practice and ensuring that designs are operationally sound. What you will be doing * Translate infrastructure and platform architecture into detailed cloud network implementation requirements (VNet/VPC design, subnetting, routing, segmentation, and traffic flow). * Act as a technical bridge between Architecture and Cloud Engineering teams to ensure alignment between design intent and implementation. * Provide guidance (and implementation, as appropriate) on private connectivity patterns including Private Endpoints, Private Link, and VPC endpoints. * Support hybrid connectivity design between cloud and on-prem environments, including routing and DNS considerations. * Lead troubleshooting of complex cloud network issues such as connectivity failures, DNS resolution, latency, and asymmetric routing. * Partner with Service Operations to perform root cause analysis and improve network reliability. * Contribute to and ensure consistency with cloud networking standards, patterns, and implementation guidelines. * Identify opportunities to improve consistency, performance, and supportability of cloud networking solutions. * Aiding developer and business stakeholders in the efficient, cost-effective, and secure use of in-scope tools and solutions * Supporting existing Infrastructure Automation tools and continuously refining our ecosystem to meet emergent customer needs ## Related Videos - [Demystifying application networking in the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/675-demystifying-application-networking-in-the-cloud) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) - [Seriously gaming your cloud expertise: from cloud tourist to cloud native](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/373-seriously-gaming-your-cloud-expertise-from-cloud-tourist-to-cloud-native) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
