Job description

We are looking to hire a highly motivated, best-in-class Infrastructure Deployment Engineer II to join our growing team within Corporate Infrastructure Services. This role serves as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for infrastructure deployment, driving technical solutions for complex, undefined problems with limited guidance. The Infrastructure Deployment Engineer II will design and implement solutions that address multi-faceted networking challenges, influence technical decisions across teams, and act as an escalation point for domain-specific issues.

Our ideal candidate possesses deep technical expertise at a CCNP level (or equivalent demonstrated experience) in advanced routing protocols, network design principles, and sophisticated troubleshooting methodologies. They bring a comprehensive understanding of enterprise network architecture and interdependencies, enabling them to adapt existing architectures to new challenges and create solutions where no established patterns exist. They communicate complex technical concepts effectively across teams and influence technical decisions through strong argumentation and data‑driven analysis.

In this role, you will operate independently on challenging problems, seeking guidance only for novel situations with broad organizational impact. You will influence process improvements across teams, develop implementation standards, and produce documentation that becomes long‑term reference material. You will provide technical guidance to engineers across teams, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the development of standards and best practices that shape technical direction.

Infrastructure Deployment Engineers at this level are expected to identify systemic problems, propose architectural improvements, and consider long‑term maintenance and scalability in their approach. They drive adoption of best practices within their domain and influence team technical direction through SME expertise. The desire and ability to work in an ambiguous, collaborative environment — solving undefined problems and creating new solutions — is essential for success.

Basic Qualifications:

• BS in Information Systems, Computer Science, or equivalent experience, coupled with certifications such as CCNP, JNCIP, or equivalent demonstrated practical expertise + industry experience.
• 5+ years of experience as a network engineer with hands‑on deployment and design of large‑scale enterprise networks, including complex infrastructure installations, hardware integration, and advanced network configurations.
• 5+ years' experience with advanced routing protocols (BGP, MPLS) and network design principles across multiple infrastructure domains (networking, storage, server, OS platforms).
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex, undefined problems independently and act as a technical escalation point for peers.
• 3+ years' experience developing implementation standards, influencing technical decisions across teams, and producing reference‑quality technical documentation.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5+ years' hands‑on experience with Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls, including advanced configuration and troubleshooting across multiple domains.
• Experience designing and implementing complex network solutions that address multi‑faced challenges across enterprise environments.
• Experience working with data centers and telecom carriers to procure, deliver, and activate network circuits at scale.
• Experience administering, deploying, or supporting Cisco or Aruba wireless network equipment in large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated track record of influencing technical decisions through data‑driven analysis, acting as a recognized SME in specific network domains.
• Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical guidance across teams.
