• Monitor network performance (Solar Winds, Datadog, Thousand Eyes) and proactively resolve issues before they impact service delivery and SLA targets
• Implement network security controls including firewall rule sets, IDS/IPS, segmentation, NAC, and zero‑trust architecture principles
• Design and manage AWS network infrastructure — VPCs, subnets, route tables, IGW, NAT Gateways, and ELBs — for scalable, highly available architectures
• Configure AWS Transit Gateway and VPC peering for secure, low‑latency connectivity across accounts, regions, and on‑premises environments
• Implement AWS Direct Connect and Site‑to‑Site VPN for hybrid connectivity between Health Edge data centers and AWS

• Manage AWS Security Groups, Network ACLs, AWS Network Firewall, and AWS Shield for least‑privilege access and DDoS protection
• Leverage AWS Cloud Watch, VPC Flow Logs, and AWS Network Manager for observability, traffic analysis, and anomaly detection
• Support Azure or GCP networking as required—VNets/VPCs, peering, and hybrid connectivity

• Participate in 24/7 on‑call rotation, triaging and resolving network incidents per SLA targets; contribute to post‑incident reviews to drive MTTR reduction
• Execute network changes through established change management processes; serve as Tier 3 escalation resource for complex issues

• Develop automation scripts and IaC (Ansible, Terraform, Cloud Formation, Python) to improve monitoring, alerting, and network deployment workflows
• Build and maintain IaC for AWS network resources enabling repeatable, auditable deployments; surface optimization opportunities across the team’s roadmap

• Maintain topology diagrams, runbooks, IPAM, and change records; support DR testing, vendor coordination, and legacy environment consolidation
• Collaborate across Infrastructure, Security, Dev Ops, and Application teams; mentor junior team members

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, Network Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
• 5+ years of hands‑on enterprise network engineering or network operations experience
• Strong knowledge of routing and switching protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, VLANs, STP)
• Experience with enterprise firewall platforms (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco ASA/FTD)
• Demonstrated AWS networking expertise: VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route 53, Security Groups, Network ACLs, AWS Network Firewall
• Proficiency with network monitoring tools (Solar Winds, Datadog, PRTG, or similar)
• Experience with SD‑WAN (Cisco Viptela, VMware Velo Cloud, Fortinet, or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of DNS, DHCP, IPAM, SSL/TLS, and PKI
• Hands‑on experience with IaC and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Cloud Formation, Python)
• Familiarity with ITIL‑based incident, problem, and change management processes
• Excellent analytical and communication skills; ability to translate technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders

• Certifications:
  
  CCNP, CCIE, PCNSE, NSE, or AWS Advanced Networking Specialty
