Peering & Network Architecture • Own VNet/VPC/VCN peering strategies, hub-and-spoke architectures, and transit networking models. • Implement centralized architectures using Azure vWAN hubs, AWS Transit Gateway, OCI DRG hubs. • Design and manage multi-region, multi-cloud connectivity models. Network Security & Controls • Manage native cloud security controls: o Azure NSGs, Azure Firewall o AWS Security Groups, NACLs o GCP Firewall Rules • Implement segmentation, ingress/egress control, and secure connectivity patterns. • Ensure compliance with security best practices and policies. Monitoring & Incident Management • Monitor cloud network performance, availability, and traffic flows using native and third-party tools. • Drive incident management in a 24×7 environment, including troubleshooting, escalation, and RCA. • Ensure minimal downtime and rapid recovery for critical applications. Change Management & Documentation • Govern network changes across multi-cloud environments using standard processes. • Maintain accurate HLD/LLD, network diagrams, IPAM, SOPs, and runbooks. • Ensure adherence to ITIL processes for change, incident, and problem management. ________________________________________ B. Additional Accountabilities (Advanced / Leadership Expectations) Architecture & Strategy • Define and evolve the enterprise cloud network architecture across Azure, AWS, OCI, and GCP. • Drive standardization of network designs, naming conventions, IP addressing, and connectivity models. • Lead architecture reviews for new applications and cloud onboarding. Automation & DevOps • Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation. • Automate network provisioning, configuration validation, and drift detection. • Integrate cloud networking into CI/CD pipelines. Performance & Optimization • Optimize network performance for latency, throughput, and cost efficiency. • Implement traffic optimization strategies such as regional routing, failover design, and load balancing. • Conduct regular capacity planning and performance reviews. Security & Compliance Leadership\|• Ensure network configurations comply with internal security policies and audit requirements. • Support cloud security audits, vulnerability assessments, and remediation tasks. • Drive implementation of Zero Trust principles and secure network access models. Leadership & Governance • Act as technical lead and escalation point for complex network issues. • Mentor engineers and guide partner/vendor teams. • Drive governance standards, best practices, and operational excellence across environments.
Key Decisions / Dimensions	DECISIONS • Approve network architecture designs and connectivity strategies. • Decide routing, peering, and failover configurations across cloud platforms. • Recommend tools, automation frameworks, and network solutions. • Take critical decisions during network outages and escalations.\|• Ownership of cloud networking costs, bandwidth utilization, and optimization initiatives.
Major Challenges	MAJOR CHALLENGES • Managing complex multi-cloud networking environments with consistent architecture and governance. • Ensuring seamless integration between on-prem and multiple cloud providers. • Optimizing network performance while controlling costs across clouds. • Maintaining high availability and low latency for critical applications. • Handling multi-vendor dependencies and rapidly evolving cloud services.
Required Qualifications and Experience	SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE a) Educational Qualifications • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, IT, Telecommunications, or related field. b) Work Experience & Certifications Must Have • 6–8+ years of experience in networking with strong cloud networking expertise. • Hands-on knowledge of Azure, AWS, GCP, and OCI networking services. • Strong expertise in routing (BGP, OSPF), peering, and hybrid connectivity. • Experience with hub-spoke architectures, Transit Gateway, Azure vWAN, DRG. • Proven experience in handling multi-cloud environments and critical operations. Good to Have • Certifications: AZ 700, AWS Advanced Networking, GCP Network Engineer, OCI Architect. • Experience in automation using Terraform, Python, Ansible. • Exposure to network security, firewalls, and Zero Trust architecture. Soft Skills • Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills. • Ability to manage high-pressure production environments. • Proactive, solution-oriented, and strategic thinking mindset.
