Job Title: Cloud Network Engineer (Cloud & Software-Defined Networking)
Location: Customer Site (Redstone Arsenal)/LM Redstone Gateway
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud Network Engineer to design, implement, and operate secure, high-performance networks that span on-premise data centers, public cloud environments, and enclave-based domains. The ideal candidate will have deep hands-on experience with cloud networking, software-defined networking (SDN), and container-native networking solutions, particularly within Kubernetes environments. This Cloud Network Engineer will spend the majority of their working at the customer sites in Huntsville.
Key Responsibilities
* Design & Deploy Secure Networks
* Architect and configure restricted computer networks and secure inter-domain routes.
* Implement network segmentation, access controls, and policy enforcement across cloud and on-premise resources.
* Cloud & Multicast Networking
* Build and manage cloud networking infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
* Configure and troubleshoot multicast UDP and broadcast UDP traffic for high-throughput applications.
* Software-Defined & Hardware-Defined Solutions
* Deploy and maintain Software Defined Network (SDN) platforms and hardware-based network appliances.
* Integrate network services with Kubernetes using CNI plugins and container-based networking.
* Hybrid Cloud Integration
* Connect remote cloud instances to on-premise data centers, ensuring reliable routing and latency optimization.
* Support hybrid cloud architectures and remote enclave connectivity.
* Automation & Monitoring
* Automate network provisioning and changes using IaC tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
* Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting for network health and security events.
* Collaboration & Documentation
* Work closely with security, DevOps, and application teams to define network access protocols and rules.
* Produce clear documentation, runbooks, and knowledge‑base articles for all network solutions.
Must-Have Qualifications
* Network Design
* Proven experience setting up restricted/compliant networks and securing inter-domain/enclave communication.
* Cloud Networking
* Hands-on experience with cloud networking services (VPC, VNets, peering, transit gateways).
* Linux Operation Systems
* Experience with Linux OS
* Multicast/UDP
* Practical knowledge of multicast UDP and broadcast UDP traffic handling.
* SDN / Hardware-Defined Networking
* Experience with both software-defined and hardware-defined networking technologies.
* Kubernetes-Based Networking
* Direct experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting networking within Kubernetes clusters.
* Secure Routing Across Domains
* Ability to create and manage secure routing paths between isolated domains or enclaves.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
* CNI Expertise - Experience with one or more Container Network Interfaces (CNI): Cilium, Calico, Multus, or similar.
* Enterprise Software Hosting - Background deploying and supporting enterprise-grade applications in production environments.
* Network Access Policy Development - Experience defining and governing network access protocols, firewall rules, and zero-trust policies.
* Container-Mesh Architecture - Familiarity with container-based network meshes (e.g., Istio, Linkerd) and service-mesh concepts.
* Cloud-to-Cloud Routing - Experience routing traffic between multiple cloud service provider instances.
* Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure - Proven work with hybrid cloud models linking remote clouds to on-premise resources.
Desired Skills & Attributes
* Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities; comfortable troubleshooting complex network issues.
* Excellent communication skills - able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
* Proactive mindset with a focus on security, reliability, and scalability.
* Ability to work autonomously and as part of a cross-functional team.
* Relevant certifications (e.g., CCNA/CCNP, AWS Certified Advanced Networking, Certified Kubernetes Administrator) are a plus.
Education & Experience
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
* 5+ years of professional networking experience, with a focus on cloud and software-defined environments.
