This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Spearhead the execution and operationalization of hybrid network architectures, guaranteeing high-quality and timely delivery throughout the project lifecycle.

• Implement and oversee core hybrid connectivity solutions, leveraging services such as Network Connectivity Center (NCC), Partner Interconnect, and HA VPN to create robust, secure, and dynamically routed connections between cloud and on-premises systems.

• Develop and uphold a comprehensive network security strategy by deploying and configuring cloud-native security solutions, including Cloud NGFW Enterprise (Next-Generation Firewall), Cloud IDS (Intrusion Detection System), and Cloud Armor (DDoS and WAF protection).

• Enforce strict access boundaries and data exfiltration safeguards using VPC Service Controls (VPC SC) and Network Security Endpoints to secure sensitive services and resources.

• Set up and manage network visibility tools such as VPC Flow Logs and Firewall Rule Logging for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, security diagnostics, and forensic investigation.

• Define and deliver network components through Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform) to ensure all deployments are repeatable, scalable, and adhere to established governance policies (e.g., utilizing Cloud DNS for centralized naming).
