Job description

About the Role

We’re seeking a highly experienced Wired Network Engineer with both hands‑on implementation and network design/architecture expertise to support a large-scale network modernization project across 600+ retail store locations. This role requires a strong blend of strategic network design validation, architecture‑level problem solving, and hands‑on implementation in complex enterprise WAN environments leveraging Viptela SD‑WAN and Cisco IOS‑XE technologies. If you can operate at both architectural and executional levels—designing, validating and deploying enterprise‑grade WAN solutions—this project is for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and execute network upgrades across 600+ distributed retail sites following established design and deployment frameworks
• Design, validate, and refine enterprise network architectures and configuration templates before deployment
• Ensure network solutions align with enterprise standards, scalability, and security best practices
• Implement and optimize configurations on Viptela SD‑WAN and Cisco IOS‑XE platforms
• Troubleshoot and resolve advanced WAN connectivity and performance issues across hybrid environments
• Collaborate with architecture, operations, and implementation teams to ensure seamless rollout execution
• Provide technical and design guidance to junior engineers and implementation partners
• Document network design decisions, rollout progress, configuration updates, and technical findings

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of hands‑on network engineering experience in large‑scale enterprise environments
• Proven network design and architecture experience (preferably in distributed or multi‑site environments)
• Deep expertise in Viptela SD‑WAN (design, configuration, and troubleshooting)
• Strong proficiency with Cisco IOS‑XE routing and switching
• In‑depth understanding of WAN architectures, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), and network performance optimization
• Demonstrated ability to lead network design validation and execute implementation with minimal supervision
• Excellent problem‑solving, documentation, and communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently in a remote setup

Nice to Have

• Experience leading large‑scale or multi‑site network design and upgrade projects
• Background in retail or other distributed enterprise environments
• Certifications such as CCNP Enterprise, CCIE, or Cisco SD‑WAN certifications
• Familiarity with network automation/orchestration tools (e.g. Ansible, Python, DNA Center)

Project Details

• Contract length: 3 months (with potential extension based on project scope and performance)
• Work setup: Fully remote
