AWS Cloud Engineer

A growing technology-focused organization is looking for a Network Engineer to join their remote infrastructure team. This is a full-time, direct hire position supporting a global network that spans both on-premises and AWS environments. The role involves working with AWS services like VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route 53, and Network Firewall, while also using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Python to automate and optimize network operations. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values problem-solving, innovation, and a strong technical mindset.
What makes this opportunity stand out is the flexibility and balance it offers. The team works around shared core hours from 9 AM to 3 PM in their local time zone, but outside of that, you can create your own schedule as long as the work gets done. This is a chance to take ownership of challenging, high-impact projects in a supportive environment that encourages professional growth and hands-on learning. If you want to work with cutting-edge cloud technologies while keeping a healthy work-life balance, this role offers the best of both worlds.
