## Description

NVIDIA is seeking a highly skilled Senior Network Deployment Engineer with 8+ years of progressive experience to lead complex, large-scale network deployment projects from inception to completion. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader responsible for the design, build-out, and continuous maintenance of high-performance enterprise network connectivity projects including Cloud connectivity, WAN peerings and DC builds. A key focus of this role is employing network automation tools and scripting (Ansible, Python) for efficient, repeatable deployments, coupled with strong project management skills for leading and executing end-to-end site builds globally.

What you will be doing:

 * Lead the comprehensive design, architecture, implementation, and optimization of complex cloud and WAN core network infrastructures.
 * Manage and implement end-to-end site deployments, overseeing all phases from requirements gathering and architecture design through configuration, testing, cutover, and final operational handover.
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with internal IT teams, security, data center teams, facilities, and external vendors to ensure seamless project delivery.
 * Create, maintain, and enforce robust network documentation (diagrams, standards, templates) and best practices.
 * Drive network automation initiatives by developing and utilizing scripts and tools (e.g., Python, Ansible, Netmiko) for configuration management, deployment, and operational tasks.
 * Provide advanced, third-level troubleshooting and act as an escalation point for complex network issues across all technologies.
 * Proactively manage project timelines and resources, ensuring on-time and on-budget completion and providing regular status updates.
