This role partners with Network Operations, Optical Engineering, vendors, and other engineering teams to deliver high-quality network solutions and drive continuous improvement.
What You’l Do:
Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot IP network infrastructure across core, edge, and aggregation environments.
Support routing and switching technologies such as BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and MPLS.
Assist with network design, capacity planning, upgrades, and service turn-ups.
Investigate network incidents, identify root causes, and document corrective actions.
Monitor network performance and availability; recommend improvements to reliability and scalability.
Work with operations, field teams, vendors, and other engineering groups to resolve service-impacting issues.
Maintain accurate network diagrams, configurations, procedures, and change records.
Participate in scheduled maintenance and an on-call rotation, as needed.
Follow change-management, security, and operational practices.
Do You Have:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field; or equivalent relevant experience.
Experience designing, implementing, and supporting IP networks in a service-provider, enterprise, or large-scale environment.
Strong knowledge of IPv4/IPv6, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, VPN, QoS, and multicast concepts.
Experience with routing and switching platforms from vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Arista, or similar.
Knowledge of network security principles, including firewalls, ACLs, DDoS mitigation, and secure network design.
Ability to analyze packet captures, logs, alarms, and performance data to resolve complex technical issues.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clear technical documentation.
Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and collaborate across technical teams.
Ability to participate in after-hours maintenance and on-call support.
Even Better:
Experience with an ISP, telecommunications provider, or other service-provider network.
Exposure to MPLS, EVPN, segment routing, IPv6, QoS, or multicast.
Experience with network automation, scripting, or configuration-management tools.
Familiarity with Linux or other server operating systems, including basic system administration, service management, and troubleshooting. This is highly preferred, but not required.
Relevant certifications, such as CCNA, CCNP, JNCIA, or equivalent experience.
