  Job Description: AWS Network Architect (On-Prem, Hybrid & AWS Networking)

Role Overview The AWS Network Architect will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimising complex network architectures that span AWS cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. This role requires deep architectural expertise in both AWS and conventional networking, with a strong focus on providing both interim and long-term solutions throughout the project lifecycle. The ideal candidate will proactively anticipate challenges, deliver robust solutions, and ensure seamless integration, security, and scalability.

• Key Responsibilities • Architect and Design Network Solutions o Develop scalable, secure, and highly available network architectures using AWS services (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, VPN, Route 53, Private Link, etc.) and conventional networking technologies. o Design multi-account, multi-region, and hybrid network topologies for enterprise workloads. o Integrate AWS networking with on-premises infrastructure for seamless hybrid cloud solutions.

• Conventional Network Design o Architect and implement traditional network solutions (routing, switching, f irewalls, WAN/LAN, MPLS, BGP, OSPF). o Design and manage enterprise network devices (Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc.). o Ensure secure and reliable connectivity between cloud and on-premises environments.

• Interim and Long-Term Solutions o Provide both immediate (interim) and strategic (long-term) network solutions as project requirements evolve. o Anticipate potential network challenges and proactively recommend mitigation strategies.

• Security & Compliance Internal

• General Use o Implement and manage network security controls (Security Groups, NACLs, AWS Firewall Manager, on-premises firewalls). o Ensure compliance with industry standards and internal security policies.
