Overview

We are seeking a Senior Network Engineer with deep hands‑on experience in complex on‑prem network infrastructures and AWS cloud networking to help design, replicate, and enable seamless migrations, as well as provide short‑term post‑migration support. This is not a learning role; we need a highly skilled engineer who can contribute immediately in a fast‑paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support an ongoing initiative to exit on‑premises U.S. data centers by March/April (with strong potential for extension due to project scope and holidays).
• Analyze and understand existing on‑prem network architectures and security policies to accurately replicate and prepare equivalent designs in AWS.
• Collaborate with the migration "factory" team to plan, execute, and support large‑scale application and server migration waves.
• Configure, support, and optimize Cisco and Nexus switching and routing environments.
• Engineer and support F5 load balancers and Fortinet firewall solutions in the on‑prem environment.
• Design and implement AWS cloud networking components to support secure, scalable, and resilient application deployments.
• Provide application‑aware network support to ensure performance, reliability, and successful cutovers.
• Participate in and support critical migration events, including potential off‑hours and occasional weekend work for high‑impact applications.
• Deliver 24‑48 hours of post‑cutover support following migration events to ensure stability and rapid issue resolution.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional technical teams and stakeholders in a fast‑paced, aggressive delivery environment.
• Operate independently with minimal oversight; proactively identify risks, issues, and remediation paths.

Required Skills & Experience (Non‑Negotiable)

• Datacenter Networking with Cisco switches routers
• Cloud networking specifically AWS
• Load balancer & firewall experience to support application rules

Additional Required Skills & Experience

• Proven senior‑level experience as a Network Engineer supporting complex, large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Hands‑on experience with:
  • Cisco and Nexus switching/routing
  • F5 Load Balancers
  • Fortinet firewalls (on‑prem)
• Strong background in application‑aware networking and troubleshooting across infrastructure and application layers.
• Demonstrated experience with AWS networking and cloud platforms, including designing and supporting cloud‑based infrastructures for migrated workloads.
• Prior experience supporting large‑scale migration programs (data center to cloud highly preferred).
• Ability to operate in a fast‑paced, aggressive project environment with multiple parallel workstreams.
• Self‑sufficient, detail‑oriented, and capable of immediate contribution—this role is not intended for junior or training‑level candidates.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with distributed teams across U.S. time zones.

Additional Details

• Work Arrangement: Fully remote; candidates may sit in any U.S. time zone.
• Schedule: Primarily standard business hours with flexibility required for off‑hours or weekend support during key migration events.
