JOB DESCRIPTION:

We are seeking a highly skilled Network Engineer with expertise in networking, testing, and automation to design, implement, and support enterprise-scale network solutions. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in automating network configurations and testing frameworks, with a preference for those experienced in Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure). This role requires hands-on technical skills, problem-solving ability, and a drive to streamline operations through automation.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure with a focus on performance, scalability, and security.
  • Develop and execute automated network testing frameworks to validate performance, reliability, and resiliency.
  • Create, enhance, and maintain automation scripts and tools (e.g., Python, Ansible, Terraform) to optimize network operations.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (infrastructure, DevOps, security) to integrate automation into deployment pipelines.
  • Perform network troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and performance optimization.
  • Support ACI-based network deployments, policies, and fabric configurations (preferred but not mandatory).
  • Document designs, standards, and operational procedures for knowledge sharing and compliance.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Strong background in network engineering (routing, switching, firewalls, load balancers).
  • Hands-on experience in network automation using Python, Ansible, Terraform, or similar tools.
  • Experience with network testing and validation frameworks (manual and automated).
  • Solid understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VLAN, VXLAN).
  • Familiarity with ACI fabric concepts, policies, and operations (preferred).
  • Knowledge of CI/CD concepts and integrating network automation into pipelines is a plus.
  • Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to work in fast-paced environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Cisco ACI hands-on experience in configuration, operations, and troubleshooting.
  • CCNP/CCIE or equivalent certifications.
  • Experience with cloud networking (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and hybrid network environments.
