About Aviz Networks

Aviz Networks is an AI-driven networking company helping enterprises and service providers accelerate adoption of SONiC, open networking, and AI-powered operations. Backed by Cisco Investments and integrated with NVIDIA Spectrum‑X, Aviz enables customers to standardize, simplify, and future‑proof their network infrastructure.

Role Overview

AVIZ is looking for a SRE Network Engineer to join our support team specializing in network engineering with a curious drive toward automation. You will participate in all aspects of support, pre‑ and post‑deployment validation, and delivering reliable networking for our clients and partners. The primary Network Operating System running on the switches is SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud), which allows the same software stack to be run across hardware and ASICs from different switch vendors.

Over and above the traditional support activities and management of devices such as routers and switches, you should be curious to code using languages such as Python, Go, or Ruby for automation on operating platforms running SONiC, and familiarize yourself with tools such as Ansible, Chef, or Terraform. You believe strongly in “infrastructure as code.”

Basic Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science or related degree
• 7‑10 years of support and troubleshooting experience, ideally with customer interaction/facing
• Configuration and operational expertise with network switches / routing platforms running either IOS, JunOS, or EOS
• Experience solving problems in large‑scale network environments with overlay technologies (BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, EVPN)
• Intellectual curiosity, positive attitude, flexibility, analytical ability, self‑motivation, and team‑oriented mindset
• Strong computer science concepts and excellent knowledge of scripting methodologies
• Deep network engineering and Linux knowledge, and comfort working with various network operating systems
• Professional‑level communication skills and interpersonal skills with a passion to solve problems
• Experience as a support team member for enterprise/service provider customers or NOCs
• Interaction with customers to promptly troubleshoot, isolate to root cause, and provide knowledge on containers (Docker/Kubernetes) and cloud infrastructure services
• Knowledge of data center networking technologies and Linux TCP/IP networking
• Resolution of customer issues
• Work closely with engineering to resolve escalations and bugs
• Strict adherence to Service Level Agreement KPIs

Preferred Qualifications

• Background with open network products such as Mellanox switches, Cumulus Linux, Mellanox Onyx, or SONiC network operating systems
• Linux and networking certifications such as CCNP, CCIE, RHCE – not mandatory
• Provide necessary updates to management and field teams for high‑profile technical escalations
• Assist in the development of knowledge articles, troubleshooting guides, and internal training
• Proficient with analyzing data traces from protocol analyzers such as Wireshark
• Experience with traffic generators such as Spirent and IXIA
