Principal Cloud Network Architect – Part-Time

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

📋 Description

• Design the global cloud transit backbone by assessing and defining the target-state AWS multi-account routing strategy, culminating in a decisive choice between AWS Cloud WAN and regional Transit Gateway (TGW) architectures to consolidate over 40 AWS accounts.

• Create the hybrid interconnect framework connecting physical and cloud environments, ensuring Layer 2/Layer 3 connectivity between legacy data centers and AWS through Digital Realty (PlatformDIGITAL / ServiceFabric) and AWS Direct Connect.

• Establish the cloud-native security perimeter and identity access by implementing AWS WAF, AWS Shield Advanced, and centralized logging, while transitioning from raw credential management to AWS KMS/Secrets Manager and integrating AWS IAM with Entra ID for Single Sign-On (SSO).

• Standardize cloud routing boundaries for e-commerce and voice workloads, specifically by architecting a split-routing model: securely directing SIP signaling through AWS while ensuring real-time RTP media remains on physical hardware to eliminate cloud latency and mitigate "noisy neighbor" issues.

• Provide a transition blueprint that includes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) migration templates and a phased rollout strategy to facilitate migration from the current fragmented setup to a cohesive cloud fabric without impacting voice or e-commerce services.

• Lead strategic Cloud FinOps and architecture economics by reviewing current AWS spending, executing compute right-sizing, and implementing Reserved Instances and Savings Plans alongside essential structural cloud modifications.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 8 years of experience in IT infrastructure/architecture, with at least 5 years concentrating on AWS-native networking, multi-account transit architectures, and hybrid cloud integration.

• Advanced expertise in AWS networking, encompassing AWS Cloud WAN, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, VPC Lattice, Route 53, and cross-account governance (IAM / Resource Access Manager).

• Robust "Hybrid BGP Fluency" (AS-PATH, MED, Local Pref) to serve as the cloud-side liaison to core network engineers, effectively managing route handoffs at AWS Direct Connect or Microsoft Meet-Me Room edges without generating routing loops.

• Extensive knowledge of AWS-native security perimeters (AWS WAF, Shield Advanced, GuardDuty, Security Hub) and enterprise identity federation.

• Proven success in designing cross-region AWS Disaster Recovery (DR) architectures and implementing Cloud FinOps cost-optimization strategies.

• Proficient in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation for large-scale network and routing automation.

• Experience in M&A cloud consolidation, including integrating fragmented or “shadow IT” AWS environments into robust enterprise governance frameworks.
