Network Analyst

I’m hiring a Network Analyst to support a large-scale network environment responsible for critical communications infrastructure.

This is a great opportunity for someone coming from a carrier or service-provider environment who has strong routing fundamentals and wants to expand deeper into MPLS and transport networking.

What You’ll Do

• Support the design and implementation of large-scale routed networks
• Build network configurations and provision services
• Work with BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, BFD, VRRP, LDP, and RSVP-TE
• Translate established network designs into deployable configurations
• Create engineering packages, network diagrams, and implementation documentation
• Support network deployments, upgrades, migrations, and cutovers
• Troubleshoot network and service outages
• Participate in maintenance windows and network restoration activities
• Collaborate with engineering, deployment, and operations teams

• 5+ years of relevant networking experience
• Strong hands-on routing experience with BGP, IS-IS, and OSPF
• Experience working with high-availability routing technologies
• Exposure to technologies such as BFD, VRRP, LDP, or RSVP-TE
• Experience with network configuration and implementation
• Exposure to network design and an understanding of how different design components work together
• Ability to work independently and quickly learn a complex network environment
• Strong documentation and communication skills

Highly Preferred

• Experience with a carrier or service provider such as AT&T, Cox, Verizon, Lumen, Zayo, Comcast, Spectrum, or a similar environment
• MPLS experience
• Nokia networking experience
• Carrier Ethernet experience
• Fiber, DWDM, or optical transport experience
• Utility or critical-infrastructure networking experience

Deep MPLS experience is not required. Candidates with strong carrier routing experience who are interested in learning MPLS are encouraged to apply.

Compensation: $65-$78/hr

Schedule: Primarily remote with biweekly onsite work

Start: ASAP

Contract: Initial 12-month contract with expected extensions

Long-term potential: Opportunity to convert to a permanent position when an internal seat becomes available

Interview Process: Two rounds

If you have a background in carrier networking, routing, backbone engineering, or transport networks, I’d be interested in connecting.
