The Cloud Network Engineer will be responsible for maintaining technical expertise in all relevant areas of Cisco networks, which includes hardware and software interconnection, interfacing, routers, multiplexers, firewalls, hubs, bridges, gateways, and more. This position requires the candidate to propose solutions to management that meet communication requirements based on future needs and current usage, while also configuring such solutions to optimize cost savings. The role is hands-on and situated within a dynamic and fast-paced IT infrastructure environment, necessitating close collaboration with operations, vendors, and delivery teams. The engineer will be expected to deploy and configure Cisco Cloud Service Routers (CSRs) and CheckPoint CloudGuard Firewalls within cloud instances, perform problem isolation and resolution of network issues, and maintain accurate records of network changes and patch/update levels. Additionally, the engineer will engage in network management functions such as monitoring, maintenance, performance measurement, and reporting, while also preparing necessary network documentation including operational instructions, policies, and procedures. Regular monitoring and network analysis will be required for both short- and long-range planning for in-house systems, and participation in a 24x7 on-call rotation is expected. Other duties may be assigned as necessary.
