To design, build, and optimise secure, highâperformance cloud networking architectures across hybrid and multiâcloud environments (AWS, Alicloud) for new innovations. Act as a key enabler for new initiatives from earlyâstage innovation projects to product launches by providing agile, scalable, and automationâfirst network solutions.
Accountabilities:
Endâtoâend cloud network architecture for both existing platforms and new innovation initiatives.
Performance, availability, and security of cloud networking components (VPC, Transit Gateway, Load Balancers, CDN).
Automation of cloud network provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code.
Cost management and optimisation of cloud network data transfer, especially for experimental or variableâworkload initiatives.
Technical advisory and rapid prototyping for crossâfunctional innovation teams.
Create the roadmap for AI initiatives by working with team for new initiatives to be deployed on multi hybrid cloud.
Manage the vendor engagements for evaluations of new solutions that to be deployed on multi cloud infrastructure. The solutions includes building Agentic AI framework, Cloud automation and observability, AI gateways, agent identity management ( nice to have experience and willingness to build solutions).
Manage the RFP/RFI, vendor registration, vendor onboarding , procurement and engage with procurement and legal team for any new solution requirements.
Upskill the team on cloud technologies.
Engage with regulators , and industry partners for building new partnerships as and when required.
Responsibilities:
Architect and deploy cloud networking solutions across AWS (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route 53, Global Accelerator), Alicloud, Baremetal and GCP.
Design hybrid connectivity between onâprem data centres and cloud providers using VPN, Direct Connect, or ExpressRoute.
Implement advanced networking patterns (hubâspoke, mesh, microâsegmentation) for multiâaccount/multiâsubscription environments.
Automate network provisioning with Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates; embed network security controls (Security Groups, NACLs) as code.
Support new initiatives by:
Rapidly prototyping network architectures for proofâofâconcepts (e.g., edge computing, 5Gârelated workloads, AI/ML data pipelines).
Advising product teams on cloud networking constraints, costs, and best practices.
Building reusable, âbatteriesâincludedâ network modules that reduce timeâtoânetwork for innovation projects.
Manage cloud load balancing (ALB/NLB, Application Gateway, Traffic Manager) and content delivery (CloudFront, CDN).
Collaborate with security teams to enforce Zero Trust network access, private endpoints, and service endpoints.
Optimise cloud network costs by analysing data transfer patterns and rightâsizing network resources, with specific attention to shortâlived or burstâtype innovation workloads.
Troubleshoot complex network issues (routing, latency, packet loss) using native tools (VPC Flow Logs, Azure Network Watcher) and thirdâparty solutions.
Document network architectures, runbooks, and disaster recovery procedures.
Participate in onâcall rotation for critical cloud network incidents.
3+ years in cloud engineering or cloud architecture with a strong networking focus.
Proven experience supporting innovation projects, incubators, or rapid prototyping with cloud networking.
Deep handsâon experience with AWS networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect), VMWare ESXi and Alicloud networking.
Success in designing hybrid cloud connectivity for production workloads as well as temporary/test environments.
Proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform advanced, CloudFormation).
Strong scripting (Python, Bash) for network automation and monitoring.
Relevant certifications: AWS Certified Advanced Networking â Specialty CCNP/CCIE.
CKA, CKS, CCSP ( optional and nice to have)
Experience with cloud cost management tools (AWS Cost Explorer,Alicloud Cost Management) applied to variable workloads.
