Network Cloud DC Design Engineer

Network Cloud DC Design Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Network, Cloud & Data Center Design Engineer to architect and deliver resilient, high-performance infrastructure that powers our global operations. You will lead the end-to-end design of physical and virtual network environments — spanning on-premises data centers, colocation facilities, and multi-cloud platforms — ensuring our systems are scalable, secure, and built to meet demanding SLAs.

Your Responsibilities:

• Design and architect enterprise-grade data center networks including spine-leaf topologies, fabric interconnects, and WAN/SD-WAN overlays.
• Lead cloud network architecture across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP — including VPCs, transit gateways, direct connects, and cloud-native routing.
• Develop low-level design (LLD) and high-level design (HLD) documentation, rack elevations, cable plans, and capacity models.
• Collaborate with security teams to embed zero-trust principles, microsegmentation, and compliance controls into network designs.
• Evaluate and select network hardware and software vendors, driving proof-of-concept testing and technology refresh cycles.
• Partner with data center operations, facilities, and cloud engineering teams to ensure seamless deployment and Day 2 operations.
• Define network observability standards, traffic engineering policies, and failure-mode testing (chaos engineering, DR drills).

• Hands-on experience designing modern spine-leaf or CLOS fabrics using BGP EVPN/VXLAN for large-scale Layer 2/3 overlay networks in enterprise or hyperscale environments.
• Proficiency architecting connectivity across at least two major cloud providers — including transit gateway, VPC peering, private endpoints, direct connect / ExpressRoute, and cloud-native firewalling.
• Deep expertise in BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, and QoS. Ability to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex routing policies and traffic engineering across multi-vendor environments.
• Strong understanding of microsegmentation, firewall policy design, TLS/SSL inspection, SASE frameworks, and regulatory compliance requirements such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or FedRAMP.
• Practical experience with Terraform, Ansible, or similar IaC tooling to automate network provisioning, configuration management, and change workflows in CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with SD-WAN platforms (Cisco Viptela, VMware VeloCloud, Palo Alto Prisma) and cloud-delivered security services that converge network and security in a unified fabric.
• 6-9 years of experience with bachelors in relevant field.
