Cloud Network Engineer responsible for designing, building, and maintaining scalable, secure, and reliable network infrastructure across cloud environments. This role involves automation, integration with CI/CD, troubleshooting, and contributing to network observability.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, implement, and manage cloud networking architectures (VPCs, subnets, routing, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, and interconnects).
  2. Automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, etc.).
  3. Integrate networking into CI/CD workflows and cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes networking, ingress controllers, service mesh).
  4. Troubleshoot Linux-based networking issues (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, iptables) across layers 3–7.
  5. Partner with cross-functional teams to improve performance, availability, and security.

Skills

Required

  • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Network Engineering with a strong cloud focus.
  • Hands-on expertise with AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud networking (VPCs, routing, load balancing, firewalls).
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, Helm).
  • Experience with Kubernetes networking (CNI, ingress, service mesh).
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills in Linux networking.
  • Strong communicator and collaborator who thrives in cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

  • Traditional data center networking knowledge (routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers – Cisco, Arista, Juniper, F5).
  • Familiarity with routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, GRE).
  • Experience with security best practices (network segmentation, zero-trust).
  • Exposure to observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog).
  • Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, or Go).
