• Technical Execution & Operations
  • Design, configure, and maintain LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, VPN, firewall, and load-balancing infrastructure across multi-site and multi-cloud environments.
  • Monitor network performance (SolarWinds, Datadog, ThousandEyes) and proactively resolve issues before they impact service delivery and SLA targets.
  • Implement network security controls including firewall rule sets, IDS/IPS, segmentation, NAC, and zero-trust architecture principles.
  • Design and manage AWS network infrastructure — VPCs, subnets, route tables, IGW, NAT Gateways, and ELBs — for scalable, highly available architectures.
  • Configure AWS Transit Gateway and VPC peering for secure, low-latency connectivity across accounts, regions, and on-premises environments.
  • Implement AWS Direct Connect and Site-to-Site VPN for hybrid connectivity between HealthEdge data centers and AWS.

  • Manage AWS Security Groups, Network ACLs, AWS Network Firewall, and AWS Shield for least-privilege access and DDoS protection.
  • Leverage AWS CloudWatch, VPC Flow Logs, and AWS Network Manager for observability, traffic analysis, and anomaly detection.
  • Support Azure or GCP networking as required — VNets/VPCs, peering, and hybrid connectivity.
• Incident Response & Change Management
  • Participate in 24/7 on-call rotation, triaging and resolving network incidents per SLA targets; contribute to post-incident reviews to drive MTTR reduction.
  • Execute network changes through established change management processes; serve as Tier 3 escalation resource for complex issues.
• Automation & Continuous Improvement
  • Develop automation scripts and IaC (Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, Python) to improve monitoring, alerting, and network deployment workflows.
  • Build and maintain IaC for AWS network resources enabling repeatable, auditable deployments; surface optimization opportunities across the team’s roadmap.
• Documentation & Collaboration
  • Maintain topology diagrams, runbooks, IPAM, and change records; support DR testing, vendor coordination, and legacy environment consolidation.
  • Collaborate across Infrastructure, Security, DevOps, and Application teams; mentor junior team members.
