Job description

We are seeking an experienced Network Management Systems (NMS) Architect to design, guide, and evolve modern, scalable network management and telemetry platforms. This role is ideal for someone with deep protocol-level expertise who also understands how NMS fits into broader OSS/BSS ecosystems.

You will work closely with engineering, operations, and business stakeholders to define architecture, standards, and implementation approaches for next‑generation network management solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and guide the design of modern NMS platforms using model‑driven management
• Define and enforce best practices around YANG models, telemetry, and control interfaces
• Lead or advise on implementations using gNMI, gRPC, and streaming telemetry
• Ensure scalability, reliability, and performance of network management solutions
• Collaborate with OSS/BSS teams to ensure clean integration and data flows
• Provide technical leadership, reviews, and mentorship to engineering teams
• Translate operational and business requirements into technical architecture

Required Skills & Experience

• Deep, hands‑on expertise with:
  • Strong understanding of network management architectures and telemetry systems
  • Solid grasp of network protocols and device management concepts
  • Ability to think architecturally while remaining grounded in implementation realities

Nice to Have

• Experience with OSS/BSS systems and their integration with NMS platforms
• Exposure to telecom, ISP, satellite, or large enterprise network environments
• Familiarity with automation frameworks, observability platforms, or SDN/NFV concepts
• Prior experience in a technical lead or architect role

What We’re Looking For

• A problem‑solver, not just a theorist
• Someone comfortable balancing ideal architecture vs real‑world constraints
• Clear communicator who can work across engineering and business teams
• Pragmatic, hands‑on, and delivery‑focused
