This role will drive the phased migration of these workloads to the cloud while maintaining a stable, secure, and well-documented hybrid environment for the foreseeable future.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design, document, and maintain hybrid architectures spanning on-premises infrastructure (Cisco switching, storage, virtualized servers) and cloud environments.
Analyze user and business requirements and translate them into scalable technical designs for both current operations and future-state cloud architecture.
Lead migration planning and execution, including workload assessment, sequencing, cloud landing zone design, and data center rationalization.
Administer and optimize on-premises network and storage infrastructure, ensuring performance, availability, and security during the migration period.
Architect cloud networking and connectivity (VPCs, routing, VPN, transit gateways) to support hybrid operations.
Develop governance, security standards, and operational processes spanning both environments, including monitoring, patching, and configuration management.
Support integration between infrastructure monitoring tools and ServiceNow to drive automated ticket/task generation for operational issues.
Evaluate and recommend improvements for cost optimization, performance, and operational efficiency across on-prem and cloud.
Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, migration plans, and system designs.
Collaborate with stakeholders, engineers, and leadership to resolve technical issues and maintain architectural integrity throughout the migration.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS (EDUCATION/SKILLS):
Hands-on, on-prem experience
Networking background
Knowledgeable in how core switches connect, manage load balancers, proxies, updating certificates, OIC layers, etc.
7+ years of relevant networking/systems experience
Bachelor's Degree in networking, systems engineering or similar field
1 of the following certifications: M365E/X, VCP, CCNP
Experience with Cisco switching and enterprise network administration.
Familiarity with enterprise virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware) and storage systems.
Hands-on experience architecting and deploying solutions on AWS/Azure/GCP, including migrating on-prem workloads to the cloud.
Experience with infrastructure as code and automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible).
Strong understanding of cloud networking, VPCs, routing, load balancers, and hybrid connectivity.
Experience with system maintenance, patching, monitoring, and advanced troubleshooting across hybrid environments.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
