• Establish and enforce network security best practices, including Security Groups, NACLs, encryption, firewalling, and compliance with industry standards.
• Work closely with DevOps teams to integrate networking with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
• Monitor and optimize network performance using AWS CloudWatch, VPC Flow Logs, and third-party network monitoring solutions.
• Collaborate with application and security teams to ensure AWS networking designs support enterprise workloads, disaster recovery, and compliance requirements.
• Provide guidance on AWS networking patterns, such as microsegmentation, service-to-service networking, and integration with container and serverless platforms.
  
  

Core Qualifications, Ideally Within a Professional Services Environment

• 8+ years of experience in network architecture, engineering, and administration, with at least 4+ years in AWS networking.
• Strong expertise in VPC design, routing, peering, Direct Connect, VPN, and Transit Gateway implementations.
• Hands-on experience with hybrid networking solutions connecting on-premise environments to AWS.
• Deep understanding of network security, including IAM, NACLs, firewalls, WAF, Shield, and GuardDuty.
• Proficiency in monitoring and troubleshooting network issues using native AWS tools and third-party platforms.
• Experience with DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to resolve complex networking challenges.
• Familiarity with container networking (EKS, ECS) and serverless integrations (Lambda, API Gateway, App Mesh).
  
  

Nice To Have

• AWS certifications such as AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty or AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional.
• Experience with multi-cloud networking (Azure, GCP) and SD-WAN solutions.
