Associate Cloud Network Engineer — Azure and Enterprise Networking

We need someone with solid on-premises networking experience at CCNA/CCNP level who has made the move into Azure cloud networking and can operate confidently across both worlds in a hybrid enterprise environment.

What this role is about

This is a hands-on role at the heart of a modern cloud platform. You will design and operate secure, high-performance network infrastructure with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure, enterprise connectivity, and perimeter security. Your work directly enables product and development teams to move quickly — without cutting corners on stability or safety. It is a role that blends deep technical execution with real architectural influence.

What you will actually do

Design and support secure, scalable Azure network architectures across landing zones, subscriptions, and tenants

Enable hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity including peering and enterprise integration

Create a clear, consistent path for developers that balances security, usability, and delivery speed

Implement strong network segregation using VNets, NSGs, routing, and security appliances

Own and continuously improve perimeter and edge services — including Web Application Firewalls, DDoS protection, SSL VPNs, and load balancing including Global Server Load Balancing

Work across firewall and threat-prevention platforms from Microsoft, Palo Alto, Check Point, and Cisco

Support identity and access flows where they intersect with network design

Collaborate with managed service providers and professional services partners

Design with non-functional requirements front of mind — security, availability, scalability, and performance

What you bring — essential

Proven experience designing, implementing, and supporting cloud network technologies

Strong hands-on Azure networking experience

Solid background in hybrid and multi-cloud environments

Deep grounding in enterprise networking fundamentals — routing, switching, and security — at CCNA/CCNP level or equivalent

Experience working alongside managed service providers or delivery partners

Security-first mindset with practical experience across perimeter and network security services

Microsoft Certified: Azure Network Engineer Associate, or actively working toward it

Cisco CCNP or comparable enterprise networking certification, or in progress

ITIL Foundation or equivalent service management knowledge

Why this role stands out

You will not just keep the lights on — you will shape how enterprise-scale cloud networks are designed and evolved. It is a rare blend of deep hands-on technical work and genuine architectural responsibility, working alongside experienced platform, engineering, and security teams to build foundations that let the whole organisation move faster and with greater confidence.
