Hybrid Cloud Integration: Lead the design and optimization of high-speed, secure connectivity between on-premise infrastructure and AWS (Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, etc.).

Technical Profile: The ideal candidate is a Cisco expert with a "cloud-first " mindset and significant experience managing distributed site footprints.

Networking: Expert-level command of Cisco IOS/XE/NX-OS. Deep mastery of EIGRP and BGP is important.
Cloud: Proven experience architecting AWS networking environments (VPCs, Security Groups, Route 53, Direct Connect).
Security: Hands-on experience with Fortigate (FortiOS) security appliances and VPN technologies
Traffic Management: Proficiency with F5 LTM/GTM or Citrix NetScaler for high availability.
Monitoring: Experience using SolarWinds (NPM/NCM) for enterprise-wide alerting and reporting.

Qualifications:

Experience: 10+ years in network engineering, with at least 4 years in a lead Architect or Principal role.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent experience.
