About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the implementation and operationalization of hybrid network architectures, ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery across the project lifecycle.
Deploy and manage core hybrid connectivity solutions, utilizing services such as Network Connectivity Center (NCC), Partner Interconnect, and HA VPN to establish robust, secure, and dynamically routed links between cloud and on-premises environments.
Establish and enforce a comprehensive network security posture by deploying and configuring cloud-native security products, including Cloud NGFW Enterprise (Next-Generation Firewall), Cloud IDS (Intrusion Detection System), and Cloud Armor (DDoS and WAF protection).
Implement strong access boundaries and data exfiltration guardrails using VPC Service Controls (VPC SC) and Network Security Endpoints to protect sensitive services and resources.
Configure and maintain network visibility tools like VPC Flow Logs and Firewall Rule Logging for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, security diagnostics, and forensic analysis.
Define and deliver network components using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform) to ensure all deployments are repeatable, scalable, and compliant with established governance policies (e.g., using Cloud DNS for centralized naming).
Act as the technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) on network delivery, providing ad-hoc technical leadership and actively collaborating with on-premises network engineers to facilitate knowledge transfer and operational alignment.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven track record of successfully implementing complex connectivity solutions that bridge large-scale on-premises networks with public cloud environments (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
Hands-on experience deploying and operationalizing advanced network security services, specifically Cloud NGFW and Cloud IDS for inline threat prevention and detection, and using Cloud Armor for front-end protection.
Demonstrated impact in defining and implementing critical security guardrails, particularly with VPC Service Controls (VPC SC), to govern data access for platform services.
Significant professional experience in automating network provisioning, configuration, and state management using IaC tools (e.g., Terraform).
Expert-level knowledge of core network concepts and services within Google Cloud Platform, including VPC design, routing, load balancing, and network peering, that is adaptable to other major cloud providers.
A history of independently owning the technical delivery of a project (scope of 1–2 months), demonstrating strong technical communication skills and the ability to set and maintain the bar for high-quality engineering work within a team.
