About The Position

We are seeking a seasoned Network Engineer to design, implement, optimize, and support a complex, multi-site enterprise network.

• Ability to troubleshoot across layers (routing, security, transport).
• Experience working in distributed, multi-location environments.
• Comfortable leading projects and making architecture recommendations.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and maintain enterprise routing and switching environments.
• Lead configuration, optimization, and lifecycle management of Cisco, Juniper, and Meraki platforms.
• Implement and support SD-WAN solutions including policy design, traffic engineering, and failover strategies.
• Manage next-generation firewall technologies, VPNs, segmentation, and secure connectivity.
• Monitor performance, troubleshoot outages, and drive root-cause analysis for complex incidents.
• Participate in network architecture planning, capacity forecasting, and modernization efforts.
• Create and maintain network diagrams, standards, and operational documentation.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity, server, cloud, and application teams to ensure resilient integrations.
• Provide escalation support for high-priority production issues.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to operational maturity and best practices.
