• Manage our global network edge using Cato Networks, handling SD-WAN configurations and security policies.
• Configure and troubleshoot Cisco switches and routers to maintain a high-performance internal network.
• Implement security best practices (Identity management, firewall rules, and encryption) to protect data across on-prem and cloud sites.
• Manage enterprise-level backup and recovery operations. Ensure that all critical workloads are protected and that recovery procedures are tested and documented.
• Participate in DR planning and execution to minimize business impact during outages.
• Act as the primary technical expert for complex infrastructure issues that require deep-dive troubleshooting.
• Maintain clear, high-quality architectural diagrams and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university, preferred.
• 3–5 years hands-on experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP); multi-cloud exposure a plus
• Working knowledge of core services: compute (EC2/VM/Compute Engine), storage (S3/Blob/Cloud Storage), networking (VPC, subnets, security groups), and managed databases (RDS, Cloud SQL, etc.)
• Experience with Identity and Access Management (IAM) and cloud security best practices
• Proficiency with Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep/ARM templates
• Experience managing infrastructure state and modularizing IaC code
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar)
• Scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation tasks
• Experience with monitoring/logging tools (CloudWatch, Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK stack, or similar)
