Senior Network Engineer
Remote
Role Purpose
Own the engineering and operational support of a global enterprise network, including campus, branch, wireless, firewall, routing, SD-WAN, identity-aware access controls, and hybrid connectivity to Azure and OCI. The successful candidate must be able to lead complex diagnosis, work independently within change controls, and collaborate across cloud, Windows, Linux, and security teams.
Key Responsibilities
• Operate, troubleshoot, and improve enterprise switching, routing, firewall, wireless, remote-access, and site-to-site connectivity services.
• Diagnose complex incidents across LAN, WAN, Internet, VPN, DNS/DHCP, identity, security policy, cloud, and host layers using structured evidence.
• Own routing, segmentation, peering, VPN, and gateway configuration within approved change processes.
• Support enterprise Wi-Fi design, performance, access, roaming, authentication, and troubleshooting.
• Administer network access controls and authentication integrations, including Cisco ISE, TACACS, and RADIUS.
• Support Azure and OCI networking constructs and hybrid cloud connectivity; collaborate with cloud engineers on routing, private connectivity, and segmentation.
• Use packet capture, telemetry, device logs, and network-management platforms to isolate root cause and document resolution.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, operational runbooks, change records, and root-cause analysis material.
Preferred Technical Skills
The following are not absolute gating criteria unless specifically called out during candidate review. They materially strengthen the candidate’s fit and should be highlighted in the recruiter submission.
• Network automation using Python, Ansible, APIs, or infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Azure ExpressRoute, OCI FastConnect, private endpoints, transit routing, or multi-cloud connectivity.
• Zero Trust / secure access experience, including Zscaler, SASE, or cloud-delivered security controls.
• Cisco CCNP/CCIE, Fortinet NSE/FCP, Meraki, Azure Network Engineer, OCI networking, or comparable current certifications.
• Experience with global enterprise networks supporting regulated, financial-services, or high-availability environments.
Cross-Functional / T-Shaped Requirements
The candidate owns enterprise networking, but must independently diagnose the routine host, identity, and cloud-side dependencies that frequently present as network incidents.
• Working Linux command-line capability for interface, route, DNS, socket, packet, and service diagnostics.
• Working Windows networking and basic server-support capability, including DNS, certificates, firewall behavior, and common authentication issues.
• Working Azure and OCI cloud-networking understanding; able to collaborate on hybrid routing, peering, gateways, and private connectivity.
