• Establish network standards, technical documentation, and architecture roadmaps.
• Implement network automation and monitoring using Python, Ansible, and observability tools.
• Collaborate with engineering, security, operations, vendors, and executive stakeholders.
• Active CCIE certification (mandatory; certification number subject to verification).
• 10+ years of enterprise network engineering experience.
• 5+ years in senior network architecture or technical design leadership.
• Advanced BGP architecture, routing policies, and traffic engineering.

• Carrier interconnect, colocation, and cloud connectivity expertise.
• Strong communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to support CST business hours and travel approximately 10–15%.
• Must meet applicable U.S. export‑control eligibility requirements.
• CCDE or multiple active CCIE certifications.
• Optical transport, MPLS, and high‑availability networks.
• Firewall architecture, Zero Trust, and network segmentation.
• AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, or similar cloud connectivity.
• Python, Ansible, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Network observability, flow analytics, and performance telemetry.
• Experience in telecommunications, satellite communications, or service‑provider networks.
