Responsibilities:

• Design and implement enterprise-wide cloud and hybrid network architectures on GCP, including VPC design, subnetting, routing, and firewall policies.
• Lead the implementation of secure hybrid connectivity solutions, including Cloud Interconnect, dedicated VPNs, and integration with tactical communication systems (e.g., TMN).
• Define and manage network infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, enabling automated, repeatable, and auditable network deployments.
• Architect and configure multi-layer network security, including VPC Service Controls, Cloud Armor (WAF), and next-generation firewall (NGFW) virtual appliances.
• Implement and manage a suite of GCP load balancers (Global, Regional, Internal) to ensure high availability and optimal traffic distribution.
• Lead network traffic analysis and bandwidth optimization efforts, using tools like Google Cloud Observability and Network Intelligence Center to diagnose latency and resolve bottlenecks.
• Design and manage networking for containerized workloads, including GKE cluster networking, service mesh (e.g., Istio), and pod-to-pod communication policies.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive network architecture diagrams and standard operating procedures.

• Advanced proficiency in defining network infrastructure as code (IaC) with Terraform.
• Deep expertise in enterprise networking protocols and concepts, including BGP, IPSec, DNS, and load balancing.
• Hands-on experience with GCP networking products, including VPCs, Cloud Interconnect/VPN, Cloud Armor, and VPC Service Controls.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash) for network automation tasks.
• Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer certification.

Desired:

• Master’s degree in computer science or a related field.
• Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification.
• Professional-level networking certification such as Cisco CCNP or equivalent.
