AWS Network Engineer Hybrid Connectivity & Automation
Full Time • Fully Remote - US
Our client, a 3rd-generation management consulting firm, is working on a project for their client - a global financial institution operating in a highly regulated environment and investing in modern cloud governance to strengthen security, compliance, and enterprise risk visibility across AWS and Azure.
They are now looking to add to their team and are hiring a "AWS Network Engineer – Hybrid Connectivity & Automation”. This role will be 100% remote.
Role Overview
Our Client, is modernizing its migration pathways from on‐prem to AWS. This role focuses on building repeatable, automated AWS network connectivity patterns that support migrations for Kafka → MSK, object storage → S3, and future database replication.
This is not a Kafka/storage engineering role — it is AWS networking + automation, creating reusable CDK "Lego blocks” that will eventually be consumed by AI‐driven or self‐service migration tooling.
