Summary:

The Cloud Network Automation Engineer (SDE - III) is responsible for designing, implementing, and operating cloud-based network infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), while enabling secure, scalable, and governable networking across multi-cloud environments. This role places a strong emphasis on Terraform-driven network provisioning, governance-aligned operations, and the implementation of AI-assisted tooling for monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuously improving cloud network strategies.

This position sits at the intersection of networking, cloud engineering, automation, security, and operations, and partners closely with Cloud Engineering, SRE, Networking, Security, and Platform teams to ensure cloud network architectures are resilient, observable, and aligned with enterprise standards across AWS, Azure, and OCI, as well as supporting CI/CD platforms.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Network Automation

Design, implement, and maintain cloud networking infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, with a primary focus on:

- Terraform and/or Terragrunt for multi-environment and multi-account deployments
- Reusable, modular network patterns for VPCs, vNets, and VCNs, including routing and security boundaries

Standardize network provisioning and configuration workflows to ensure consistency, repeatability, and auditability across environments.

Partner with Cloud Engineering teams to integrate network IaC into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.

AI-Enabled Monitoring, Troubleshooting & Strategy

Leverage AI-assisted and intelligent tooling to enhance:





- Network monitoring and anomaly detection
- Root-cause analysis and accelerated troubleshooting
- Predictive insights for capacity, performance, and risk

Contribute to the design and adoption of AI-driven operational practices that improve network reliability, security posture, and mean-time-to-resolution.

Collaborate with SRE and Platform teams to align AI-enabled insights with incident response, alerting, and operational runbooks.

Cloud Governance & Operational Support

Support cloud governance initiatives including:

- Network-related tagging and metadata enforcement
- Default and orphaned resource identification and cleanup
- Cross-environment and cross-account access validation

Assist with operational troubleshooting, alert response, and outage triage related to cloud networking and connectivity issues.

Participate in compliance and remediation activities by providing required network configuration, access validation, and cleanup support.

Networking Expertise & Security Collaboration

Provide hands-on expertise in cloud networking concepts including:

- CIDR classification and IP address management
- Network segmentation and reachability analysis
- VPN and secure access validation

Work closely with Networking and Security teams on the deployment, operation, and troubleshooting of Cisco Secure Access and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) platforms within cloud environments.

Ensure network designs and implementations align with enterprise security controls and zero-trust principles.

Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

Document infrastructure patterns, network architectures, and operational procedures using:

- Jira tickets and operational runbooks




- Confluence documentation
- Repository-based documentation (README files, architecture diagrams, ADRs)

Promote high-quality documentation that supports operational handoff, audit readiness, and self-service adoption.

Professional & Technical Skills:

6+ years of hands-on networking experience in cloud environments, with demonstrated responsibility for design, implementation, and operational support

Deep experience supporting cloud networking architectures across AWS, Azure, and/or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Strong operational experience with Cisco Secure Access and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD), including policy design, troubleshooting, and access validation

Strong understanding of cloud networking constructs, routing, segmentation, and secure access patterns

Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot network, connectivity, and infrastructure issues using modern diagnostic and observability tooling

Experience integrating infrastructure workflows with GitHub, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD pipelines

Proven experience using Infrastructure as Code, with hands-on expertise in Terraform and/or Terragrunt for managing network infrastructure at scale

Experience incorporating AI-driven or intelligent tooling into monitoring, troubleshooting, or operational decision-making

Experience supporting cloud governance, compliance, or remediation initiatives

Broader exposure to enterprise networking concepts (DNS, routing, firewall architectures, VPN technologies)

Hands-on experience with Datadog On-Call or similar alerting / incident-management platforms

Experience designing or supporting workflow-based automation using tools such as n8n, including event-driven integrations, operational workflows, or cross-system orchestration

Proven ability to collaborate effectively within distributed, cross-functional engineering teams
