• Configure and migrate the VPN tunnel.
• Migrate NSX firewall configurations to compatible AWS firewall configurations.
• Monitor outages and downtime, coordinating with stakeholders to minimize disruption.
• Document technical procedures, configurations, and migration steps for project closure.

Here is the type of person we are looking for:

• Proven ability to manage authentication systems (LDAP/AD) and VPN configurations.
• Familiarity with firewall technologies, including NSX and AWS-compatible firewalls.
