  • Support a hybrid network connectivity by implementing, validating, and troubleshooting connectivity between on-prem and cloud environments (e.g. SDWAN, ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, Private Gateways) in partnership with Network Reliability team, InfoSec, including segmentation, routing, firewall rules, load balancing, and latency/bandwidth requirements for target workloads.
  • Familiarity with cloud governance & FinOps enablement by implementation of governance controls (guardrails, tagging, policy enforcement), cost management (FinOps) reporting, and securing a hybrid environment.

Relevant Skills & Experience

 

Required

  • 8+ years supporting enterprise-scale infrastructure and multi-cloud hyperscalers (e.g. Azure, AWS, GCP).
  • 5+ years working with Terraform and advanced understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.
  • Deep experience designing, building, and operating CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and enterprise source control platforms to enable automated, secure, and scalable infrastructure and application delivery.
  • Experience building automation using Ansible, Bash, PowerShell, Python scripting, and REST APIs.
  • Experience with cloud governance, policy management, and FinOps practices.
  • Understanding of cloud networking, DNS, cloud-enabled identity services, security controls, and hybrid connectivity.
