• Hands-on track record designing, deploying, and running hybrid network architectures.
• Deep knowledge of AWS infrastructure, especially core networking: Transit Gateway, Elastic Load Balancers, VPCs, Direct Connect, Site-to-Site VPNs, and Route53.
• Solid grounding in general networking — firewalls, routing, switching, VPNs, NAC, and virtualization — plus network security principles and tooling.
• Scripting fluency in Python or Go.
• Experience with monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident management.
