Cloud Network Engineer - Dallas, TX

What You'll Do9

• Design and manage network architecture across AWS and GCP, covering VPC and VNet layout, subnetting, IP addressing schemes, routing, and segmentation.
• Connect on-premise data centers to public cloud through AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect, VPN tunnels, and SD-WAN integration.
• Build reusable Terraform, CloudFormation, and Deployment Manager modules and blueprints so network deployments follow one shared standard.
• Configure DNS with Route 53 and Cloud DNS, plus load balancers (ALB, NLB, Cloud Load Balancing), API gateways, and CDNs.
• Write Python, Go, or Bash tooling that provisions and configures network resources and takes manual steps out of operations.
• Own reliability of the network platform through monitoring, alerting, logging, and on-call response to network incidents.
• Enforce security controls such as NACLs, security groups, AWS WAF, GCP firewall rules, and intrusion detection and prevention systems.
• Troubleshoot performance problems that cross hybrid and multi-cloud paths, then tune the paths that cause them.
• Document architectures, configurations, and operating procedures, and mentor junior engineers on the team.

Requirements7

• Hands-on design and operations work with AWS and Google Cloud networks, including VPC and VNet design, subnetting, routing, and segmentation.
• Working knowledge of hybrid connectivity: AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect, VPNs, and SD-WAN.
• Infrastructure as Code practice with Terraform, CloudFormation, or Deployment Manager, including reusable module development.
• Scripting ability in Python, Go, or Bash for network automation.
• Experience running DNS services, load balancers, API gateways, and CDNs inside a cloud environment.
• Willingness to join an on-call rotation and take production ownership of network services.
• Availability to work onsite in Dallas, TX.

Preferred Qualifications6

• Public cloud network certifications such as AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty or Google Cloud Professional Network Engineer.
• Experience with network security tooling such as WAF, DDoS protection, and intrusion detection or prevention systems.
• Familiarity with network virtualization and software-defined networking concepts.

• Knowledge of financial services compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, NIST, or ISO 27001.
• Experience with network performance testing and optimization tools.

Who Should Apply

Cloud network engineers who have built and run AWS and GCP networks, not just designed them on paper. You should be comfortable writing Terraform and scripts, connecting data centers to cloud through dedicated links and VPNs, and taking on-call shifts when a network path breaks. Financial services or regulated-environment exposure helps.
