  • Configure and manage AWS networking services such as Route 53 for DNS, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), AWS WAF, and AWS Shield for security and traffic management.
  • Integrate AWS Connect for contact center solutions, focusing on network routing, VoIP configurations, and integration with other AWS services like Lambda and S3.
  • Troubleshoot complex network issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement optimizations for latency, bandwidth, and security in large-scale AWS deployments.
  • Collaborate with database, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure network designs align with overall project requirements, including data transfer protocols and compliance standards (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA).
  • Develop and maintain documentation, automation scripts, and CI/CD pipelines for network configurations using tools like Terraform, AWS CDK, or Ansible.
  • Conduct security audits, implement firewall rules with AWS Network Firewall or Security Groups, and monitor network performance using CloudWatch and VPC Flow Logs.
  • Stay updated on AWS networking advancements and contribute to team knowledge sharing for handling complex migrations and projects.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 8 years of experience in network engineering, with at least 5 years focused on AWS cloud environments.
  • Expert-level knowledge of AWS migrations, including strategies for rehosting, refactoring, and rearchitecting network components.
  • Proficiency in Terraform for IaC, with experience in modules, state management, and integration with AWS services.
  • Strong expertise in AWS Connect, including setup for inbound/outbound communications and network optimization for real-time applications.
  • In-depth understanding of infrastructure concepts, including OSI/TCP/IP models, subnetting, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), and SDN principles.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS database networking, such as RDS VPC peering, Aurora global databases, and integration with DynamoDB for low-latency access.
  • Proven ability to handle complex AWS projects, including multi-account strategies, hybrid cloud setups, and disaster recovery planning.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with experience in tools like Wireshark, AWS X-Ray, and third-party monitoring solutions.
  • Strong communication skills for collaborating with stakeholders and documenting technical designs.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with container networking in ECS/EKS, including AWS App Mesh or Service Discovery.
  • Knowledge of compliance frameworks and automation for network security in regulated industries.
