  • Proven success designing enterprise cloud and network architectures in collaboration with Sales and CS teams.
  • Strong understanding of public cloud networking services such as AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Interconnect, and Oracle FastConnect.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills—comfortable guiding conversations from technical deep dives to executive briefings.
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform and API integrations is a plus.
  • Deep understanding of Layer 2/Layer 3 architectures, carrier networks, and interconnection strategies.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a team-first, fast-paced, and remote-first environment.
