Job Title: AWS Cloud Network Specialist Terraform & Multi-Region Architecture

Location: Remote (US)

Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled Cloud Network Specialist with deep expertise in designing, implementing, and managing secure and scalable multi-region AWS network architectures. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with Terraform to automate infrastructure, strong knowledge of VPC design, Transit Gateway, and Network Firewall implementations across multiple AWS regions.

You will be responsible for architecting robust network solutions that support business continuity, high availability, and security requirements, collaborating closely with cloud engineering and security teams.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and maintain multi-region AWS network infrastructure leveraging VPCs, Transit Gateway, and Network Firewall to ensure secure, scalable, and highly available connectivity.

  • Develop and maintain Terraform modules and automation pipelines to provision and manage complex network resources consistently and repeatably.

  • Implement network segmentation, security policies, and firewall rules to protect cloud workloads across regions.

  • Collaborate with security, cloud operations, and application teams to define network requirements, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance.

  • Monitor and improve network architecture for fault tolerance, latency optimization, and cost efficiency.

  • Support incident response and root cause analysis for network-related outages or security events.

  • Stay current with AWS networking services and best practices, recommending improvements and new technologies.

  • Document network architecture designs, configurations, and operational procedures.

Required Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of experience in cloud networking, specifically with AWS VPCs, Transit Gateway, and Network Firewall.

  • Proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure as code, including writing reusable modules and managing state.

  • Strong understanding of AWS multi-region networking concepts and architecture patterns.

  • Experience with network security best practices, including firewall policy design and network segmentation.

  • Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools for network infrastructure (e.g., CloudWatch, VPC Flow Logs).

  • Ability to troubleshoot complex network issues in a cloud environment.

  • Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and integration tasks.

  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively across teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS Certifications such as AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty or AWS Certified Solutions Architect.

  • Experience with hybrid cloud networking and VPN/Direct Connect configurations.

  • Knowledge of other cloud platforms' networking (e.g., Azure, Google Cloud Platform) is a plus.

  • Familiarity with network automation frameworks and tools beyond Terraform (e.g., Ansible).
