Hands-on experience in Network Provisioning is mandatory.
Strong understanding of BGP, IS-IS, and MPLS routing protocols.
Experience with Juniper (JunOS), Arista (EOS), or Cisco (IOS-XR).
Knowledge of data center networking, Spine-Leaf / Clos architecture, and ToR switching.
Familiarity with DWDM, 800G optics (800ZR+), and transponder provisioning.
Python scripting and network automation experience.
Experience with large-scale network deployments (100+ devices).
Understanding of network management tools, ticketing systems, and DCIM platforms.
Knowledge of physical infrastructure, including data center power and cooling constraints.
Network Provisioning
• Execute SOLO (Single-Operation Logical Onboarding) provisioning workflows for
new rack deployments
• Provision network devices including fabric switches, backbone routers and
general service equipment OOB devices and Circuits
• Configure devices using Client’s tools with appropriate network parameters
• Perform HPRv3 (High Power Rack) provisioning for AI compute racks
• Execute circuit provisioning for peering, backbone, and intra-DC connectivity
• Manage network software updates and upgrades per release schedules
• Support PON (Passive Optical Network) OLT provisioning and activation
Activation & Production Readiness
• Transition equipment from provisioned state to activation
• Execute undrain procedures to bring network into production
• Complete Production Readiness checklist sign-off which includes:
â—¦ Logical checks validation
â—¦ Physical quality audit confirmation
• Coordinate with Network Operations for operational handoff
• Support partial activations and L1-zone-by-zone activation approaches during
accelerated deployments
Quality Assurance & Troubleshooting
• Perform logical testing and performance validation post-provisioning
• Execute circuit QA/QC loopback testing in coordination with field teams
• Troubleshoot router/switches’ uplink failures, device provisioning issues, and
circuit-level problems
• Identify and escalate design/BOM discrepancies
• Remediate provisioning fallout from pre-integrated rack workflows
• Document and report on deployment blockers via Client’s ticketing system
Documentation & Process
• Maintain deployment playbooks for assigned regions
• Update BOM’s with as-built configuration data
• Contribute to runbook development
• Track and report deployment progress via client’s internal dashboard
• Support post-deployment audits and remediation activities
