Summary

JD - Network Engineer

Experience: 11+ Years 

Level: Senior/Lead

Employment Type: Fulltime (Contract W2)

 

About the Role

We are looking for a seasoned Network Engineer with 11+ years of hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining enterprise-level network infrastructure. The ideal candidate should have strong core networking expertise, with working exposure to basic QA/testing concepts as a plus (not a primary requirement).

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, configure, and maintain LAN/WAN, routing, and switching infrastructure across enterprise environments
  • Manage and troubleshoot Cisco/Juniper routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers
  • Implement and monitor network security protocols, VPNs, and firewall policies
  • Plan and execute network capacity upgrades, migrations, and disaster recovery strategies
  • Monitor network performance using tools like SolarWinds, Wireshark, PRTG, or similar
  • Configure and manage cloud networking components (AWS VPC, Azure VNet, or similar)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (infra, security, application) to resolve connectivity and performance issues
  • Maintain network documentation, topology diagrams, and SOPs
  • Support basic validation/testing of network changes before production rollout (light QA involvement — not a dedicated testing role)
  • Provide L3 support and mentor junior network engineers

Required Skills

  • 11+ years of experience in network engineering/administration
  • Strong expertise in routing & switching (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VLANs, STP)
  • Hands-on experience with Cisco, Juniper, or Fortinet devices
  • Solid understanding of firewalls, VPNs, and network security
  • Experience with network monitoring and troubleshooting tools
  • Basic exposure to cloud networking (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform)
  • Working knowledge of scripting (Python/Bash) for automation is a plus
  • Basic understanding of QA/testing concepts (e.g., validating network changes, UAT support) — not deep QA expertise required
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills
