## About the Role

Experience Level: 5+ years of hands-on enterprise network engineering, including a senior or lead role in complex, multi-site, global environments.

 * Protocols & Routing: Expert-level knowledge of TCP/IP, dynamic routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), Spanning Tree, HSRP/VRRP, VLANs, and QoS.
 * Hardware Providers: Deep expertise with enterprise networking equipment such as Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Aruba, Fortinet, or Juniper, including design, deployment, and advanced troubleshooting.
 * Network Automation: Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Terraform, or Ansible to automate infrastructure tasks and build reusable, version-controlled configurations.
 * Network Monitoring: Hands-on experience designing and operating monitoring with systems such as SolarWinds, Cacti, or PRTG, including alerting and capacity planning.
 * Services Management: In-depth experience managing core network services including DHCP, DNS, and IP address management (IPAM) at enterprise scale.
 * Ways of Working: Experience with agile frameworks at scale (Scrum, Kanban) and contributing to agile transformation; relevant senior-level certifications (e.g. CCNP/CCIE or equivalent) are a strong plus.

Other Requirements:

 * Problem-Solving: Excellent root-cause analysis and decision-making skills to lead and resolve high-pressure, business-critical outages.
 * Communication: Ability to explain complex infrastructure topologies to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders, and to produce clear documentation and designs.
 * Collaboration & Leadership: Proven ability to work effectively with and provide technical leadership to Network Engineers, Architects, Security teams, and Project Managers across the organization.

## Description

Network Architecture & Design Leadership: Define architecture standards and lead the design and deployment of scalable, resilient Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), SD-WAN, and wireless systems across multiple global sites.

Infrastructure Ownership: Own the configuration, lifecycle, and advanced troubleshooting of routers, firewalls, network switches, and wireless controllers, setting configuration baselines and best practices for the team.

Network Security: Design and maintain firewall policies, secure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), segmentation, and Zero-Trust principles in close collaboration with the Information Security team.

Performance & Reliability: Define monitoring strategy and KPIs, analyze network health to proactively prevent latency, packet loss, and outages, and lead root-cause analysis for major incidents.

Infrastructure Upgrades & Lifecycle: Plan and govern hardware replacements, patch management, and system upgrades, including change management and risk assessment for business-critical environments.

Disaster Recovery & Resilience: Design and validate failover mechanisms, backup strategies, and business continuity plans, ensuring recovery objectives (RTO/RPO) are met.

Cloud & Hybrid Networking: Architect and manage virtual and hybrid cloud networking environments across AWS, Azure, or other cloud providers, including connectivity, routing, and security integration.

Automation & Standardization: Drive network automation and Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and accelerate delivery.

Technical Leadership & Mentoring: Provide technical guidance and mentoring to network engineers, review designs, and represent the network domain in cross-functional and architecture forums.
