AWS Cloud Network Engineer

Role

The AWS Cloud Networking Engineer will design, deploy, and manage secure cloud networking infrastructure within AWS, with a focus on connectivity between cloud and on-premises environments. This position emphasizes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and requires expertise in Cisco routing and network configurations to ensure reliable and secure hybrid cloud setups.

Key Responsibilities

1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop, automate, and maintain networking configurations using IaC tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation) to streamline deployments, updates, and scaling of network resources.
2. Network Architecture: Design and implement robust AWS networking solutions, including VPC configurations, subnets, routing tables, and NAT gateways, to support cloud-to-on-premises connectivity.
3. Cisco Router Configuration and Management: Configure, manage, and troubleshoot Cisco routers to establish and maintain reliable connections across on-premises and AWS environments. This includes creating and optimizing routing protocols, managing routing tables, and performing advanced configuration for secure data flows.
4. Cloud-to-On-Premises Connectivity: Manage and monitor AWS Direct Connect and Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connections, ensuring secure, consistent, and efficient connectivity between AWS and on-premises infrastructure.
5. Firewall Management and Network Security: Configure and optimize firewall rules, both in AWS and for on-premises network components, to maintain a high level of network security across hybrid environments.
6. Troubleshooting & Optimization: Diagnose and resolve network connectivity issues in complex, multi-vendor environments, including AWS and Cisco. Optimize network performance, capacity, and cost-effectiveness.
7. Documentation & Compliance: Maintain detailed documentation of network configurations, procedures, and policies, ensuring adherence to compliance and security standards.

Preferred Skills

• Proficiency in configuring and troubleshooting Cisco routers, including BGP, OSPF, and other advanced routing protocols.
• Strong knowledge of AWS networking services (VPC, Direct Connect, VPN, Transit Gateway).
• Experience with IaC tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation) for automating networking configurations.
• Skilled in managing firewall rules and access controls to secure hybrid cloud environments.
• Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills for complex network environments.

This role is suited for individuals with solid experience in both AWS networking and Cisco router configuration, ensuring resilient and secure cloud-to-on-premises connectivity.
