About:

The Cloud Network Software Architect is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining our cloud-based network solutions. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams to understand business needs and align the cloud network architecture to optimize performance, security, and scalability across Azure (primary), AWS, and private cloud environments.

What you'll do:
- Design and architect secure cloud network solutions across Azure (primary), AWS, and private cloud environments.
- Treat network infrastructure as software — build reusable, version-controlled IaC modules delivered through peer review, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Develop and enforce cloud network best practices, guidelines, and standards.
- Partner with other architects to define the technical strategy across the network and drive its execution with teams.
- Lead the use of automation to manage and maintain network infrastructure in public and private cloud environments, reducing manual toil across the estate.




- Leverage AI-assisted tools to accelerate delivery and improve quality, and actively experiment with emerging capabilities as they evolve.
- Monitor network performance and implement enhancements to optimize for speed, reliability, and cost efficiency across public and private cloud infrastructure.
- Ensure network security in alignment with industry-standard best practice — including firewalls, intrusion-prevention systems, and encryption — and regularly assess and remediate vulnerabilities and threats using automation.
- Collaborate with application, infrastructure, and security teams to plan and deploy cloud-based network strategies, and guide junior staff in troubleshooting and optimization.
- Create network documentation for design, configuration, and standard operating procedures; present technical strategy and network performance to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Stay current with industry trends, innovations, and best practices
