Job Details
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Network Engineer to design, implement, and maintain secure,
scalable, and high-performance network infrastructure across our AWS cloud and on-premise
environments. The ideal candidate is an AWS networking SME (subject matter expert) with firewalls
(Palo Alto, Fortigate), Linux/Unix system administration, and a proven track record of automating
infrastructure using modern DevOps practices (Terraform, GitLab CI/CD, Python).
This role requires a hands-on technical leader who can collaborate across DevOps, Security, and
Application Development teams to deliver resilient network solutions.
Key Responsibilities
AWS Networking
o Architect, implement, and manage VPCs, subnets, route tables, security groups,
NACLs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connect, and VPNs across multiple AWS accounts
and regions.
o Troubleshoot complex connectivity, routing, and peering issues in AWS environments.
o Design scalable multi-account/multi-region networking solutions aligned with best
practices.
Firewall & Security
o Configure and manage Palo Alto and Fortigate firewalls (rules, NAT, IPS/IDS, SSL
decryption, VPN tunnels).
o Implement advanced security controls, segmentation, and zero-trust principles.
o Perform firewall policy audits and optimize configurations for performance and
compliance.
Systems & Automation
o Administer Linux/Unix systems with expertise in performance tuning, patching, and
troubleshooting.
o Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform for repeatable,
automated provisioning.
o Develop and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployments and enforce
DevSecOps practices.
o Write robust Python automation scripts for operational efficiency, monitoring, and
integrations.
Collaboration & Leadership
o Partner with security, DevOps, and application engineering teams to deliver end-to-end
solutions.
o Mentor junior engineers, perform design reviews, and contribute to best practice
documentation.
o Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for critical network and infrastructure
issues.
Required Qualifications
5+ years in network engineering, with a focus on cloud and hybrid environments.
Expert-level AWS networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, routing, Direct Connect, VPN, BGP,
security groups, etc.).
Hands-on experience with Palo Alto and Fortigate firewalls (design, configuration,
troubleshooting).
Strong Linux/Unix administration background (shell scripting, performance, security
hardening).
IaC with Terraform in production multi-account environments.
GitLab CI/CD pipeline creation and optimization.
Advanced Python programming for automation, tooling, and integrations.
Strong knowledge of network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, BGP, OSPF, IPSec, SSL,
HTTP/S).
Preferred Qualifications
AWS Certifications (AWS Advanced Networking Specialty, Solutions Architect Professional)
Firewall certifications (PCNSE, NSE4/NSE7).
Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, Splunk, CloudWatch).
Familiarity with ECS/Docker.
Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
