Senior Cloud Engineer (Networking), Infra

How you'll make impact

As Airwallex scales its globally distributed financial platform, you'll help build the cloud networking foundations that keep our infrastructure highly available, secure, and connected across regions and providers.

Design, build, and optimise highly available, multi-account, and multi-region AWS and GCP cloud network architectures, including Layer 3 routing, Transit Gateway, Shared VPC, Cloud Router, and Direct Connect.

Automate and manage global cloud network infrastructure using Terraform through Git-driven CI/CD pipelines.

Manage BGP routing, IPsec VPNs, and dynamic cloud routing between AWS, GCP, regional points of presence, and external banking partners under strict financial regulatory requirements.

Improve the reliability and visibility of cloud networking by serving as an escalation point for complex issues and participating in a global on-call rotation.

Partner with Security, DevOps, and Platform teams to build secure landing zones and automated network controls.

You'll work from our Singapore office

What we're looking for

Essentials

Hands-on experience designing and operating AWS network environments at scale, including VPC, Transit Gateway, route tables, Direct Connect, and AWS Network Firewall.

Proficiency in Terraform or equivalent infrastructure-as-code tools for provisioning and automating cloud network components.

Practical experience with GCP networking concepts, including Shared VPC and Cloud Router, or experience working in multi-cloud environments.

Familiarity with Linux distributions, Python or Bash scripting, and CI/CD pipelines.

Strong knowledge of core routing and switching, subnetting, TCP/IP, and BGP dynamic routing principles.

An associate-level networking certification, or equivalent hands-on experience. Examples include CCNA, JNCIA-Junos, HCIA, Aruba ACA, Network+, AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty, or GCP Professional Cloud Network Engineer.

Preferred

Experience in fintech, local banking, or high-concurrency and high-availability financial networks with strict information security requirements.

Familiarity with GCP-preferred architectures.

Advanced certifications such as CCNP, JNCIP, AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty, or equivalent.

You'll thrive here if

You're comfortable owning the roadmap yourself.

You own the outcome and you don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.

You're comfortable operating across time zones with a globally distributed team, including colleagues based in APAC and EMEA.

You over-communicate by design. You'd rather flag something early than let it become a surprise.

You simplify complexity rather than hiding behind it.
