What We’re Looking For:

5+ years of experience building and running cloud networks (a strong focus in AWS and in SaaS environments).
Solid knowledge of AWS networking services and how to stitch them together effectively (designing, implementing, and troubleshooting complex cloud networking solutions).
Proficient in AWS networking services such as VPC, subnets, routing, security groups, VPN/Direct Connect, and advanced networking features.
Hands-on experience automating cloud infrastructure with Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible to automate cloud networking provisioning.
Strong understanding of network segmentation, cloud security best practices, and experience in implementing network-level security controls (e.g., firewalls, encryption, identity and access management, threat analysis).
Familiarity with networking protocols and concepts (routing, load balancing, VPNs, and TCP/IP).
Comfortable working with EC2, S3, Kubernetes, virtual machines, and CI/CD pipelines.
Clear communicator who works well across teams troubleshooting.
*** Bonus points for experience with FedRAMP compliance, Palo Alto, and Cisco firewalls.
