Provide 24x7 operational support for compute, storage, and network infrastructure, ensuring maximum availability and performance.
Enable automated provisioning of cloud infrastructure through Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates), reducing manual effort and driving consistency.
Ensure network and cloud connectivity security, segmentation, and compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Monitor infrastructure performance and proactively address capacity or connectivity issues before they impact business operations.
Collaborate with application and platform teams on cloud migration and adoption strategies, providing engineering guidance and best practices.
Troubleshoot and resolve incidents related to network and cloud infrastructure, minimizing downtime and supporting continuous improvement.

What You Need to Have to Be Considered
Strong, hands-on experience with Cisco ACI or comparable software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.
Proven experience designing and implementing Azure Landing Zones in enterprise environments.
Solid understanding of cloud networking, security groups, and connectivity models (VNet peering, ExpressRoute, VPN, etc.).
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tooling for cloud provisioning, such as Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.
Knowledge of hybrid cloud and on-premise integration patterns and architectures.
Strong troubleshooting skills in a 24x7 operational environment, with a structured and methodical approach to incident resolution.
These Will Help You Stand Out
Familiarity with network security frameworks and compliance standards relevant to cloud infrastructure.
Experience working in large-scale enterprise or managed services environments.
Relevant certifications such as Cisco CCNP/CCIE, Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104), or Azure Network Engineer Associate (AZ-700).
Exposure to DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation.
Strong communication skills and the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed.
