Key Responsibilities
- Design, deploy, and manage policy-based and route-based VPNs for enterprise and cloud networking environments.
- Implement and support secure network connectivity between on-premises data centers and Azure/AWS cloud workloads (Site-to-Site VPNs, ExpressRoute, AWS Direct Connect).
- Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot firewalls, routing, switching, and load-balancing systems.
- Manage cloud network services including Azure VNets, VNG (Virtual Network Gateway), NSGs, AWS VPCs, TGW, NACLs, security groups, and VPN Gateways.
- Ensure high-availability, redundancy, and performance of network infrastructure.
- Conduct security assessments, enforce network policies, and support compliance requirements.
- Create technical documentation, network diagrams, and SOPs.
- Provide Tier-3 support for network-related issues and participate in on-call rotation as needed.
- Work cross-functionally with cloud, security, DevOps, and infrastructure teams.
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5+ years hands-on experience in network engineering and VPN deployment.
- Expert in configuring and troubleshooting policy-based and route-based VPNs.
- Proven experience with Azure and AWS cloud networking architectures.
- Strong knowledge of IP routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, static routing) and network security technologies.
- Experience with firewalls (e.g., Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco ASA) and Layer-2/Layer-3 switching.
- Understanding of SD-WAN, NAT, DNS, DHCP, IPsec, SSL VPN, VLANs, and Zero-Trust network principles.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) is a plus.
Relevant certifications preferred:
- Azure Network Engineer Associate
- AWS Advanced Networking Specialty
- CCNP / Fortinet NSE / Palo Alto PCNSE (advantageous)
