• 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.
• Expert, in-depth knowledge of Azure (primary) and AWS cloud platforms.
• Expert-level cloud architecture knowledge, evidenced by Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert — or equivalent demonstrated experience designing enterprise cloud network solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design and architect secure cloud network solutions across Azure (primary), AWS, and private cloud environments.

• Develop and enforce cloud network best practices, guidelines, and standards.
• Partner with other architects to define the technical strategy across the network and drive its execution with teams.
• Lead the use of automation to manage and maintain network infrastructure in public and private cloud environments, reducing manual toil across the estate.
