Position Overview

Join 3Cloud as an Azure Cloud Network Engineer where you will implement and support cloud network solutions across diverse client environments. In this role, you’ll collaborate with architects, senior engineers, and cross-functional teams to design, deploy, and optimize secure, scalable, and high-performing infrastructures. At 3Cloud, we value experimentation, candid feedback, and accountability to our core values.

Key Responsibilities

  • Implement and support cloud network solutions ensuring secure, scalable, and high-performing infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with architects and senior engineers to translate high-level designs into deployable network configurations.
  • Engage in technical discussions and working sessions with clients to gather requirements and provide implementation guidance.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve network-related issues across hybrid environments (cloud and on-premises).
  • Maintain and optimize network configurations in line with best practices and compliance standards.
  • Contribute to documentation including network diagrams, configuration guides, and operational runbooks.
  • Support the integration of cloud networking with security, compute, and storage components.
  • Assist in automating network deployments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Bicep or Terraform.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Delivery, PMO, and Solution Architecture to ensure project success.
  • Participate in knowledge-sharing activities and contribute to reusable artifacts.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong hands-on experience with Azure networking services including VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute (with/without BGP), Azure Firewall, and third-party NVAs (e.g., Palo Alto, Fortigate).
  • Solid understanding of network routing, segmentation, route redistribution, load balancing (ALB, App Gateway, Traffic Manager, F5), and DNS services (Azure DNS, Infoblox, WinDNS).
  • Familiarity with integrating third-party services (Zscaler, Cloudstrike, CDN/WAF, AWS/GCP) and experience with Azure monitoring tools such as Log Analytics (KQL), Application Insights, Azure Backup, and Azure Site Recovery.
  • Experience working with carrier circuits (MPLS, VPLS, point-to-point) and SD-WAN technologies (Cisco, Meraki, Viptela, VMware/Velocloud).
  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Bicep or Terraform.
  • Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure and security principles.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and effective communication skills.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently or as part of a team.
