Work you’ll do/Responsibilities 

As a Network Cloud Engineer, you will be a critical enabler of cloud transformation journeys for financial services clients. With a specialized focus on designing, implementing, and managing complex network architectures across multi-cloud environments (Amazon Web Services [AWS] and Google Cloud Platform [GCP]), you will seamlessly integrate these modern platforms with clients' on-premises infrastructure. You will focus on building, automating, and optimizing the foundational cloud network infrastructure and services that empower developers to innovate rapidly and securely. In this client-facing technical role, you will embody a "you build it, you run it" philosophy, designing scalable, resilient, and secure cloud network platforms to ensure operational excellence across enterprise ecosystems.

• Network Automation & Orchestration: Automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of cloud network resources and services. Develop scripts and tools utilizing Python, Go, or Bash to streamline network operations, ensure consistency, and improve operational efficiency.
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) for Networks: Take ownership of the reliability, performance, and availability of cloud network platforms. Implement robust network monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions, and participate in on-call rotations to ensure rapid incident response for network-related issues.
• Network Security Implementation: Enforce network security best practices, including Network Access Control Lists (NACLs), security groups, cloud firewalls (AWS Web Application Firewall [WAF], GCP Firewall Rules), and network intrusion detection/prevention systems to ensure strict regulatory compliance.
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for cloud network architectures, configurations, and operational procedures. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to knowledge sharing within cross-functional delivery teams.
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
• Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor
• Ability to meet deadlines
