Job Summary
Description
We are seeking an experienced Senior Network Engineer to design implement support and troubleshoot complex enterprise network infrastructure. This role is highly hands-on and requires someone who can operate at both the architecture/design level and the implementation level.
The ideal candidate has extensive experience with enterprise routing and switching SD-WAN wireless data center connectivity campus networks and network architecture. This individual should be comfortable taking ownership of a network deployment from initial design and cabling requirements through implementation troubleshooting documentation and ongoing support.
Travel is required for office campus data center and infrastructure deployment projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Design architect implement and support enterprise network infrastructure across offices campuses and data center environments.
- Lead network deployments for new offices buildings and campus locations from the ground up.
- Develop network architecture topology IP addressing routing switching wireless security and connectivity designs.
- Configure deploy and troubleshoot Cisco routers switches wireless infrastructure and SD-WAN solutions.
- Design and manage complex routing environments using BGP OSPF and EIGRP with particular emphasis on BGP.
- Develop and implement resilient network architectures with appropriate redundancy high availability and failover.
- Work with data center and colocation providers including Equinix to establish and manage connectivity.
- Configure and manage Equinix Fabric connections and related network connectivity.
- Evaluate and validate physical network infrastructure including structured cabling fiber copper patch panels racks and network demarcation points.
- Provide technical leadership during network moves office openings infrastructure upgrades and network refresh projects.
- Troubleshoot complex network issues across Layer 1Layer 3 and beyond including routing switching wireless WAN SD-WAN and connectivity issues.
- Use packet-analysis and troubleshooting tools such as Wireshark to identify and resolve complex network problems.
- Develop detailed network topology diagrams architecture diagrams implementation plans and operational documentation.
- Establish and document network standards procedures and processes.
- Participate in network monitoring performance analysis capacity planning and infrastructure optimization.
- Collaborate with security systems cloud facilities and other technology teams on infrastructure projects.
- Participate in after-hours maintenance windows and provide escalation support when required.
Required Qualifications
- 10 years enterprise networking experience in a Senior Network Engineer or Network Architect capacity.
- Strong hands-on experience with Cisco networking equipment including routers and switches.
- Extensive knowledge of dynamic routing protocols particularly:
- BGP
- OSPF
- EIGRP
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP VLANs STP EtherChannel HSRP/VRRP DHCP DNS NAT and other core networking technologies.
- Proven experience designing and implementing enterprise network architectures.
- Hands-on experience with SD-WAN technologies.
- Hands-on experience designing deploying and troubleshooting enterprise Wi-Fi/wireless networks.
- Experience designing and implementing networks for new offices buildings and campus environments from the ground up.
- Extensive knowledge of structured cabling including fiber and copper cable standards patching terminations rack layouts and physical network infrastructure.
- Experience working with Equinix and establishing/managing Equinix Fabric connections.
- Excellent network troubleshooting and analytical skills.
- Strong experience using Wireshark and other network diagnostic tools.
- Ability to create clear and accurate network topology and architecture diagrams.
- Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
- Willingness and ability to travel as required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Palo Alto firewalls and enterprise security architectures.
- Experience with Grafana SolarWinds or other network monitoring and observability platforms.
- Experience with network automation and infrastructure-as-code concepts.
- Programming or scripting experience particularly Python is a plus.
- Experience developing network automation scripts and tools.
- Experience integrating monitoring alerting and automation platforms.
- Experience with data center networking and interconnects.
- Experience with cloud networking and hybrid infrastructure.
- Relevant Cisco certifications such as CCNP or CCIE are highly desirable.
Technical Skills
The successful candidate should be comfortable working across multiple areas of enterprise infrastructure including:
- Routing & Switching: BGP OSPF EIGRP VLANs STP HSRP/VRRP Layer 2/Layer 3 WAN
- Network Infrastructure: Cisco routers/switches SD-WAN enterprise Wi-Fi campus networks data center networking
- Connectivity: Equinix Equinix Fabric Internet/WAN circuits data center interconnects
- Security: Palo Alto firewalls network segmentation firewall routing and connectivity
- Physical Infrastructure: Fiber and copper cabling structured cabling patch panels racks demarcation physical network design
- Monitoring & Automation: SolarWinds Grafana network monitoring/observability Python/scripting network automation
- Troubleshooting & Documentation: Wireshark packet analysis performance troubleshooting network topology/architecture diagrams technical documentation
What Were Looking For
We are looking for someone who can own a network project from beginning to end. This is not simply a configuration or support role.
The ideal engineer can walk into a new building assess the physical infrastructure and cabling determine network requirements develop the architecture design the topology coordinate circuits and connectivity configure the Cisco infrastructure establish SD-WAN and wireless troubleshoot issues during deployment and produce the documentation required to operate the environment afterward.
You should be equally comfortable designing the architecture on a whiteboard configuring a Cisco switch tracing a fiber connection analyzing a Wireshark capture troubleshooting BGP and documenting the final topology.
Travel to offices campuses data centers and other infrastructure locations will be required.
