This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a growing multi-cloud environment while partnering with campus and IT leaders to turn strategy into secure, scalable solutions that support teaching, learning, and research.

What You'll Do

Contribute to the design and evolution of Purdue's multi-cloud networking strategy across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform

Design and improve virtual network architecture to support seamless workload mobility across environments
Evaluate, implement, and maintain tools for monitoring cloud performance, usage, cost, and system health
Support secure, resilient, and efficient cloud operations aligned with institutional priorities

Why This Role Stands Out

Impactful work: Play a meaningful role in advancing enterprise cloud capabilities at a leading research institution

Collaborative environment: Partner with skilled professionals across IT and academic units

What You Bring

Experience designing and supporting cloud networking in one or more major platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform)

Bachelor's degree in networking, engineering, cloud technologies, AI (Artificial Intelligence) or related field
Four (4) years of experience in cloud services including architecture design, supporting, and deploying solutions for cloud engineering, including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, or other cloud technologies, including cloud networking and hybrid connectivity, design of secure virtual networks, high-throughput research data paths, and connectivity between on-premises systems, cloud platforms, and AI research hubs
An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered

Preferred:

Multi-cloud engineering experience, with the ability to integrate and interoperate Google Cloud Platform services alongside existing AWS and Azure environments to support diverse academic and administrative workloads
Experience supporting AI research platforms and tools, including managed AI services, model experimentation environments, and emerging multi-agent systems (such as trusted-tester or early-access AI tools)

Skills Required:

Ability to:
- travel to remote campuses (5%) and work closely with network engineering staff with on-prem network integrations if needed
- help define and operationalize institutional cloud and AI strategy, translating executive-level vision into scalable technical architectures and services Strong stakeholder engagement skills, working with faculty, researchers, IT leadership, and external partners (such as Google Public Sector) to implement shared goals
Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Additional Information:

Purdue University will not sponsor employment authorization for this position
A background check will be required for employment in this position
FLSA: Exempt (Not Eligible for Overtime)
Retirement Eligibility: Defined Contribution Waiting Period
Benefit Statement: Purdue University offers a substantial Benefit Package including medical, dental, and vision insurance as well as a generous paid time off package for sick and vacation days
