- Carrier & Vendor Management: Coordinate with Tier-1 telecommunications carriers and hardware vendors to supervise high-bandwidth circuit acceptance, optical delivery, cross-connect provisioning, and link SLA sign-offs.
- Change Execution & Operational Resilience: Lead complex routing cutovers, device refreshes,



and firmware lifecycle management during assigned rotational night shifts and maintenance windows.

Required Qualifications & Technical Acumen

- Industry Experience: Minimum of 8+ years of progressive experience in enterprise network engineering, operations, or large-scale data center environments.
- Fabric & Overlay Architecture: Advanced hands-on implementation and operational depth in EVPN, VXLAN, MP-BGP, and VRF-lite/multi-tenant topologies.
- Core Routing Protocols: Expert-level understanding of agile IP routing protocols, including BGP (eBGP/iBGP), OSPF, IS-IS, and EIGRP.
- Transport & WAN Engineering: Solid practical knowledge of transport architectures including Segment Routing (SR-TE), MPLS (L2/L3VPN), DWDM optical interfaces, and DMVPN.
- Multi-Vendor Network OS: Advanced operational and CLI configuration experience across Arista EOS, Cisco (NX-OS, IOS-XR, IOS-XE), and Linux-based platforms (e.g., Cumulus).
- Operational Availability: Demonstrated flexibility and readiness to support rotational schedules, night shifts, and off-hours maintenance cutovers.

Preferred Credentials

- Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE Data Center, Enterprise, or Service Provider) or equivalent industry certification (e.g., JNCIE, Arista ACE).
- Working familiarity with API-driven network automation workflows (Python, Ansible, Jinja2) leveraging Nautobot or NetBox.
