Our Sr. Cloud Engineer will serve as the technical authority for the network layer of a modern, cloud-first enterprise. In this role, you’ll architect, implement, and optimize core network services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. You will lead strategy and execution around F5 load balancing, next-generation firewalling (Palo Alto and FortiGate), and cloud interconnect design to ensure scalability, high availability, seamless performance, and uncompromising security.
Duties/Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and optimize cloud-native network architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Engineer multi-cloud connectivity — Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, and Interconnect — for high-performance, redundant global networks.
- Own F5 in the cloud (BIG-IP VE / NGINX / Distributed Cloud) for advanced load balancing, traffic management, and security.
- Lead firewall strategy across Palo Alto (Panorama, GlobalProtect) and Fortinet FortiGate for segmentation, VPNs, and advanced threat protection.
- Architect and secure VPCs, VNets, and shared service models — routing, peering, NAT, and private connectivity.
- Integrate Cisco virtual appliances and cloud-native routing solutions for scalable, secure interconnectivity.
- Automate everything — leverage Python, Ansible, or Terraform to enforce consistency and speed up deployments.
- Monitor and optimize performance across hybrid and multi-cloud networks using advanced observability and telemetry tools.
- Lead incident response and root cause analysis for complex network or connectivity issues.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Cloud, Security, and DevOps teams to ensure seamless integration and security alignment.
Required Skills/Abilities:
- 7+ years of experience in network engineering, with 3+ years focused on cloud networking.
