Job Description
Position Description: This position is a highly skilled Cloud Network Test Engineer role with deep knowledge of IPV6 and hands-on experience across Public Cloud Infrastructures AWS Azure and GCP.
Candidates focus must be developing the lab testing frameworks validating expected test performance on the IPV6 and dual-stack networking in cloud-native and enterprise environments. The ideal candidate will design test strategies and ensure compliance with IPV6 readiness standards across public clouds. The position requires coordination with other teams in gathering certification requirements translating those requirements into a detailed test plan executing them in coordination with other team members in a live lab environment. This entails troubleshooting code/ platform lifecycle mgt and provide solutions to complex hardware/software problems. The work involves close coordination across BU technologists in translating their network needs from business requirements providing escalation support to network operations in validating bugs/vulnerabilities/work arounds in the lab providing solutions documenting the exposure/impact and presenting to the ENS forum for approval and assisting Operations in piloting those solutions in production role will drive the IPV6 validation across multi cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructures develop sophisticated test automation frameworks using Terraform Ansible CloudFormation tools. The responsibilities include testing network DMZ designs and certifying the underlying hardware software features and enhancing overall security posture of the network. The candidate would be required to identity various communication scenarios and create & execute and/ or oversee the testing do the related data gathering and analytics capabilities and prepare related design and deployment templates. The successful candidate would have a deep understanding and hands-on experience on Routing and Switching of Cisco platforms IPV6 on-prem and cloud-based infrastructures and related security/ hardening aspects.
Candidate is expected to be well versed in Cisco IOS-XE/ XR/ NXOS products general network hygiene best practices security and availability with understanding network security aspects and trends. The candidate will be collaborating with highly skilled infrastructure engineers and architects from across multiple verticals (e.g. cloud/ compute/ security/ telemetry/ desktop engineering teams/ security architects et al) and senior management often on a day-to-day basis. It is absolute imperative that he/ she has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
