Summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Network Engineer who will be responsible for the stability, performance, and security of enterprise and data center network infrastructure. This role supports Cisco-based networking environments and ensures high availability, secure operations, and scalable network design across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

We need someone with proven, hands-on experience in complex routing environments (design, deployment, and troubleshooting), rather than theoretical or limited exposure.

Position Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain enterprise and data center network infrastructure supporting mission-critical applications.
  • Provide day-to-day operational support, including routing, switching, troubleshooting, maintenance, and incident resolution.
  • Develop and execute network enhancements and redesigns to improve performance, resiliency, and scalability.
  • Plan and implement network upgrades and migrations in collaboration with internal technology teams.
  • Monitor and analyze network health using enterprise monitoring and management tools.
  • Support cloud and hybrid networking initiatives, ensuring seamless integration with on-prem infrastructure.
  • Ensure network availability, security, and compliance with enterprise standards and best practices.

Position Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience supporting enterprise-grade routers and switches in large data center environments.
  • Expert-level knowledge of BGP and OSPF, including traffic engineering, route optimization, and failover design.
  • Strong expertise in TCP/IP troubleshooting and packet analysis.
  • Hands-on experience configuring and supporting Cisco Nexus (9K/7K) and Catalyst platforms using NX-OS and IOS-XE, including BGP, OSPF, and STP.
  • Proven experience designing, testing, implementing, and troubleshooting large-scale data center networks.
  • Experience with network monitoring and management tools such as SolarWinds and Cisco Catalyst Center.
  • Experience supporting cloud networking and hybrid architectures.
