Cloud Connectivity Engineer

Role Description

We are seeking a Cloud Connectivity Engineer to design, deploy, and operate cloud networking infrastructure across one or more major cloud providers. The role covers:

• VPC/VNet design
• Hybrid connectivity
• Transit topologies
• Edge networking
• DNS
• Security controls for reliable and safe cloud networking at scale

The ideal candidate combines deep traditional networking knowledge with cloud-native networking patterns, has built production cloud networks at meaningful scale, and brings strong automation discipline to networking work. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions. You will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Networking, or a related field.
• Five or more years of experience in networking, with significant time on cloud networking.
• Deep hands-on experience with networking on at least one major cloud provider.
• Strong understanding of routing, switching, BGP, and modern networking fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with hybrid connectivity (Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, or equivalents).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code for cloud networking, especially Terraform.
• Strong understanding of cloud security and network controls.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes networking and service mesh fundamentals.
• Strong troubleshooting and packet-level analysis skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Requirements

• Design and operate cloud networking architectures including VPC/VNet, subnets, routing, and security groups.
• Build transit hub topologies using AWS Transit Gateway, Azure Virtual WAN, or GCP Network Connectivity Center.
• Design and implement hybrid connectivity using Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, Cloud Interconnect, and VPN.
• Architect edge networking including CDN, global load balancing, and WAF integration.
• Implement DNS strategies including Route 53, Azure DNS, or Cloud DNS with hybrid resolution.
• Design private connectivity to managed services using PrivateLink, Private Endpoints, or Private Service Connect.
• Automate cloud networking with Terraform, providing infrastructure-as-code coverage across the network estate.
• Implement network security controls including firewalls, NACLs, security groups, and DDoS protection.
• Operate Kubernetes networking including CNI selection, ingress strategies, and service exposure patterns.
• Build observability for cloud networking including flow logs, traffic insights, and packet capture.
• Drive cost optimization including data transfer reduction and right-sizing of network resources.
• Partner with security teams to harden the network perimeter and enforce zero-trust principles.
• Troubleshoot complex cloud networking issues across cloud and hybrid environments.
• Stay current with cloud networking platform updates and emerging patterns.

Benefits

• 100% Remote work opportunity.
• Full-time, Direct W2 position.
• Salary Range: $100,000–$150,000 Annually.
• Career growth potential within an established organization.
