The Cloud Network Software Architect is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining our cloud-based network solutions. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to understand business needs and align the cloud network architecture to optimize performance, security, and scalability across Azure (primary), AWS, and private cloud environments.
Treat network infrastructure as software — build reusable, version-controlled IaC modules delivered through peer review, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
Ensure network security in alignment with industry-standard best practice — including firewalls, intrusion-prevention systems, and encryption — and regularly assess and remediate vulnerabilities and threats using automation.
Collaborate with application, infrastructure, and security teams to plan and deploy cloud-based network strategies, and guide junior staff in troubleshooting and optimization.
Proficiency in scripting and automation with Python or PowerShell, applying software engineering practices — version control, code review, and testing — to network automation, with strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
Excellent communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders; strong teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities; and a passion for mentoring others.
