Job Description

We’re looking for people who’ve worked in many environments with many vendors. You understand how protocols need to be implemented because you understand the protocol, not because a vendor taught you what commands to use. You love the way new technologies like SDN and NetCONF are enabling networks to move faster and be more resilient. You see how networks can be better, and you want to help make this happen, even if that means helping develop new technologies.

YOU ARE:

• Educated: you\'re a hands-on technical type with a hands-on technical degree; you\'ve got at least your bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• An SME: you have in-depth experience and basic understanding of network protocols; full suite of IGPs, in-depth BGP, Layer 2 technologies, Device Virtualization, in-depth CoS/QoS, DoS/DDoS mitigation techniques/technologies, and everything network.
• An industry veteran: you have 10+ years of experience as an accomplished Network Engineer with 5+ years working in large enterprise, global data center, and/or provider environments; professional level certifications from Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia), Cisco, or Juniper help (e.g. 3RS/SRA, CCNP/CCIE, and JNCIP/JNCIE), but we’re looking for engineers that have built really robust networks and understand how to do that AND make them better because they understand how they work, not just certified by a certain vendor.
• Multi-vendor: you like to play the field, and for you one network vendor is never enough; you\'ve got 8+ years of experience with vendors like Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia), Cisco, and Juniper routing and switching, network protocols, SDN, NetCONF; you love how networks are changing and want to help make this happen faster.
• A problem assassin: you study a problem, analyzing its weak points before you strike with surgical precision; you see all the angles and use this unique vantage point to come at a problem from a direction it would never expect.
• A thought meteorologist: you\'re always thinking ahead, forecasting potential problems and following developing technological trends.
• Data-informed: you were playing with data while the other kids were still playing with marbles, and you use the stats to help identify and mitigate risks, construct project schedules, and prepare status reports; you use performance metrics and measurement techniques to assess performance for network-related services.

YOU WILL:

• Help the company engineers network, plan and lead LAN, WAN, and network security infrastructure projects that include multi-vendor network devices, cabling systems, enterprise and carrier class switches and routers, high end firewalls, VPN technologies, network acceleration, and content delivery appliances, and so on.
• Improve and troubleshoot the existing infrastructure while investigating developing technologies that might augment the system in the future.
• Coordinate with both engineers and supporting to help quickly identify and assassinate any issues affecting the network, including global, enterprise-level LAN, data center, WAN and Internet Edge; work with outside vendors and providers to resolve complications when necessary.
• Work with contractors, vendors, and to organize, plan, and execute large-scale projects, taking them from the conceptual stages all the way through to implementation; determine the resources required to quickly meet objectives.
• Troubleshoot tough problems, provide guidance, and help find creative solutions.
