Summary

Location :Bethesda, MD or Ottawa, ON

 

We are seeking an experienced Network Management Systems (NMS) Architect to design, guide, and evolve modern, scalable network management and telemetry platforms. This role is ideal for someone with deep protocol-level expertise who also understands how NMS fits into broader OSS/BSS ecosystems.

 

You will work closely with engineering, operations, and business stakeholders to define architecture, standards, and implementation approaches for next-generation network management solutions.

 

 

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and guide the design of modern NMS platforms using model-driven management

• Define and enforce best practices around YANG models, telemetry, and control interfaces

• Lead or advise on implementations using gNMI, gRPC, and streaming telemetry

• Ensure scalability, reliability, and performance of network management solutions

• Collaborate with OSS/BSS teams to ensure clean integration and data flows

• Provide technical leadership, reviews, and mentorship to engineering teams

• Translate operational and business requirements into technical architecture

 

 

Required Skills & Experience

• Deep, hands-on expertise with:

• YANG data modeling

• gNMI

• gRPC

• Strong understanding of network management architectures and telemetry systems

• Experience designing or operating carrier-grade or large-scale networks

• Solid grasp of network protocols and device management concepts

• Ability to think architecturally while remaining grounded in implementation realities

 

 

Nice to Have

• Experience with OSS/BSS systems and their integration with NMS platforms

• Exposure to telecom, ISP, satellite, or large enterprise network environments

• Familiarity with automation frameworks, observability platforms, or SDN/NFV concepts

• Prior experience in a technical lead or architect role

 

What We’re Looking For

• A problem-solver, not just a theorist

• Someone comfortable balancing ideal architecture vs real-world constraints

• Clear communicator who can work across engineering and business teams

• Pragmatic, hands-on, and delivery-focused
