• Implement and manage advanced routing and switching protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF, MPLS, SD-WAN).
• Oversee network security implementations, including firewalls, VPNs, network segmentation, and zero-trust principles.
• Develop and manage automation workflows for network provisioning, configuration, and monitoring using infrastructure-as-code and modern scripting methodologies.
• Optimize network performance, capacity planning, and reliability.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis for critical network incidents in high-availability environments.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Security, Systems, Cloud, DevOps) to ensure seamless integration and operational excellence.
• Evaluate new technologies and recommend improvements to the network architecture.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive network documentation, diagrams, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior engineers.
• Perform other duties that support the overall objective of the position.
Education Required:
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• Or, any combination of education and experience which would provide the required qualifications for the position.
Experience Required:

• 3 +years of operational experience in a Cloud, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) role.
• Strong, hands-on experience operating within major public enterprise cloud platforms.
• Strong experience with network security (firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs).
• Experience and proficiency in network automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using modern scripting languages and configuration management tools.
• Experience with Cisco ACI, DNA Center, or similar SDN technologies.
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) preferred.
License/Certification Required:
• Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification.
Routing & Switching / Enterprise Infrastructure required.
Security preferred.
• Additional certifications (CCDE, CISSP, AWS Advanced Networking) preferred.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
• Knowledge of: Expert-level knowledge of routing and switching protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF) and WAN technologies (MPLS, SD-WAN). High-availability and redundancy design, network security best practices, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. Familiarity with monitoring tools such as SolarWinds, ThousandEyes. Deep understanding of high-availability and redundancy designs. Network virtualization (VXLAN, EVPN) preferred.
• Skill in: Exceptional problem-solving and analytical thinking; clear and concise communication and documentation.
• Ability to: Lead complex technical projects, influence architectural decisions, and perform effectively in high-pressure, mission-critical situations.
