Responsibilities

Design and implement cloud network architectures including segmentation, routing, ingress/egress patterns, load balancing, and name resolution patterns consistent with program requirements.
Implement hybrid connectivity between on-prem and cloud environments (VPN, dedicated circuits, transit gateways/hubs, shared services VPC/Net patterns) and validate end-to-end connectivity.
Implement network security controls in cloud environments (security groups/NSGs, network ACLs, firewall policy integration where applicable) in coordination with security requirements.
Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for cloud networking (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep) and support repeatable deployments across environments (Dev/Test/Prod as applicable).
Plan and execute migration network activities to support moving workloads from traditional servers to cloud systems (IP plan updates, routing/DNS cutovers, dependency mapping, phased migration connectivity).
Perform advanced troubleshooting for complex cloud/hybrid issues (routing asymmetry, MTU, DNS, identity-driven access, load balancer behavior, firewall policy effects) and document root cause and corrective actions.
Maintain cloud network diagrams, configuration baselines, change records, and operational runbooks in editable formats.
