Datacenter Networking

Operate and evolve the datacenter network, including spine-leaf architecture, BGP, VxLAN/EVPN overlays, and high-availability designs.
Ensure network stability and performance across on-premises datacenter infrastructure by proactively monitoring capacity and latency baselines.

Develop and maintain automation scripts and configuration management workflows (Python, Ansible, Terraform) to reduce operational toil and improve consistency.
Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate log analysis, runbook generation, and network documentation.

Required Qualifications:

4-6 years of hands-on enterprise network engineering experience.
Proficiency with Networks, including security policy management, zone-based segmentation, and Global Protect VPN.

Experience designing and supporting enterprise wireless networks (Cisco Meraki, Aruba, or equivalent), including familiarity with 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 and RF optimization.
Working knowledge of datacenter networking concepts such as spine-leaf architecture, VxLAN/EVPN, and high-availability failover.
Strong troubleshooting methodology with the ability to work through complex, multi-layer production issues.
Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to produce clear runbooks and incident postmortems.

Skills:

Relevant certifications such as PCNSE, CCNP Enterprise, CWNA/CWSP, or equivalent.
Experience with network automation using Python, Ansible, or Terraform.
Familiarity with public cloud networking (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) and hybrid connectivity solutions such as Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, and VPN.
Exposure to load balancers including F5, AVI/NSX ALB, or NGINX and application delivery in datacenter environments.
