• Proficient in AWS networking services such as VPC, subnets, routing, security groups, VPN/Direct Connect, and advanced networking features.

• Hands-on experience automating cloud infrastructure with Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible to automate cloud networking provisioning.

• Strong understanding of network segmentation, cloud security best practices, and experience in implementing network-level security controls (e.g., firewalls, encryption, identity and access management, threat analysis).

• Familiarity with networking protocols and concepts (routing, load balancing, VPNs, and TCP/IP).

• Comfortable working with EC2, S3, Kubernetes, virtual machines, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Clear communicator who works well across teams troubleshooting.

• *** Bonus points for experience with FedRAMP compliance, Palo Alto, and Cisco firewalls.
