Senior Cisco Network Engineer / Architect (CCIE-Level)
We're seeking a senior-level Cisco Network Engineer/Architect to support and modernize a critical edge network environment. This role focuses on replacing and stabilizing a frail edge network built on Cisco ASRs, following recent capital committee approval of services budget. The position is primarily consultative and architectural, with no predefined deliverables, and involves close collaboration with a highly experienced network expert. Ideal candidates bring deep Cisco expertise, strong architectural judgment, and the ability to guide strategic network improvements in a healthcare environment. Some hands on work required as well. Strong experience with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing, support Edge Network (Internet2) environment with a 1.5M-route routing table across a dual data center architecture. This role will focus on simplifying the existing environment while also leading a major infrastructure refresh, upgrading from legacy ASR 9606 platforms (clustered and no longer supported) to the new Cisco 8570-G2.
