Senior Network Specialist
Customer & Engineering Interface
LinkEye · Bangalore, India
About us
We are a Bangalore-based networking startup working at the intersection of AI and networking — improving network reliability and reducing time-to-action for our customers. The founding team brings a cumulative 45 years of experience in the networking industry.
The role
Own the technical relationship between LinkEye's enterprise customers and our internal engineering and product teams. Translate raw network operational pain into product requirements, and translate LinkEye's platform into deployable value inside the customer's NOC.
This is a bidirectional translation role. You must be deep enough in networking to debate a customer's principal architect as a peer, and structured enough to convert that conversation into engineering-ready specs. Above all, we want someone who understands how a network actually works — how data flows, how devices talk to each other, and how that behaviour surfaces (or hides) inside an NMS.
What we're really looking for
We care far more about depth of understanding and evidence of building than about years on a résumé.
First-principles command of networking. You reason from how packets move and devices converse — L2/L3 forwarding, ARP and MAC learning, routing decisions, TCP behaviour, control-plane vs. data-plane — not from memorised vendor CLI. Handed an unfamiliar topology, you can reason through it out loud.
Deep fluency with NMS / network management. You understand what an NMS is doing under the hood: discovery, polling and the SNMP object model (MIBs, OIDs, traps), streaming telemetry, syslog, NetFlow/IPFIX, fault and performance management, topology and root-cause correlation, and where these systems lie or lag. You've lived inside tools like SolarWinds, LibreNMS, Zabbix, Nagios, PRTG, Cisco DNA/Catalyst Centre, or equivalent — and you know their limits.
You've built automation and custom use cases. Not "ran a playbook once," but design
